1976 - The number one song in the country was "Welcome Back," by JOHN SEBASTIAN. It was the theme to the ABC sitcom, Welcome Back Kotter, which starred GABE KAPLAN and JOHN TRAVOLTA.

Your fave song from that era if I recall correctly. :lol:

LOL Yeah, it still gives me the heebie jeebies! :lol:

It's funny that I start liking the song when the closing credits are coming to a end. The scene when the guy is on the Bike. So It would be nice to hear the entire song

Buy the song Solomon, then you could hear the whole thing.

I heard the song in it's entirety on one of my music channels on cable. It was on the 70s songs channel. It wasn't real long, I want to say it was around 3-4minutes long.

It was one of those regular length songs that we were accustomed to back in the 70's. It did not have a 12" mix or extended version. :lol:

But like I said, Solomon you can download the song or buy it at the store on one of those compilations CD's.

He can also listen to it on youtube, there is nothing you can't find on there.

I wouldn't suggest that, unless your boss is cool with outside internet usage.

^ I'm sure they'd let him listen to it on his break time. :lol: I always have liked the song. John Sebastian really was a talented musician.

You'd be surprised, my work hates surfing the web for non work related stuff and I am in the news.

What a bummer.

What a bummer.


Tell me about it

What a great song! Does anyone agree with me that it's one of the few sitcom theme songs that "doesn't sound" like a sitcom theme song? To me it does, anyway.

"Bossom Buddies" is another one. They used a Billy Joel song for their theme song, didn't they? "My Life"?
