I have to do a Power Point presentation on the major events that took place in the 70's for my internship.
I need a catchy theme.
Lay it out ladies and gentlemen... Thank you..

"DISCO RUINED THE 70's"

Of course, disco songs do come to mind. If the theme is funky, I'd suggest "Car Wash"; if the slide show is long, I'd go with the long cut of "Disco Inferno" from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Or, maybe a medley of songs as you go through the decade. Maybe a little "American Woman" to start out with a nice hard riff with a good melody; "Me and Bobby McGee" because you can't do the 70's without Janis; then maybe a little from the theme from "Shaft"; play on the angst of the early decade with a little "Miss American Pie" and then "Tie a Yellow Ribbon"; then "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede (just because of the ooga-chaka); "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin (I love his music); then, another love song with "He Don't Love You Like I Love You" by Tony Orlando & Dawn (that's 2 by them isn't it, but I always liked that song); and because it was the disco decade, "Jive Talkin'" by the BeeGees, and then the trucker's favorite "Convoy" (I remember watching that guy do that song on American Bandstand with a CB mike in his hand

); "Silly Love Songs" by McCartney and Wings; then, "Disco Duck" by Rick Dees followed by "Stayin' Alive" of course; "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac; the theme from "Star Wars"; "Grease" by Frankie Valli; "Miss You" by the Stones; "What A Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers and finally "Hotel California".

Another Decade Bites The Dust
Another One Bites the Dust came out in 1980 so it kinda works.

I would second the Disco Duck sentiment as Dolfan previously posted.
I also think Match Game 75 theme would rock.

I think dolfan totally nailed it. Excellent sample of 70's music. "Shaft" is the first thing I thought of.

This was not popular in the US, and it glorifies an evil man, but it is catchy.

This is a documentary on Rasputin that is interesting also.
