You guys have no taste and no heart!!! The only hesitation possible is between Rick Dees and Andrea True... Disco Duck, you have my vote!!!

BCR for inspiring The Ramones.
And can anyone decipher this for me?
Is it the "Hey ho, let's go" bit from "Beat on the Brat"? There's definitely a Ramones song that rips it off.

Oh yeah, BCR = Bay City Rollers, duh. And the Rollers inspiring the Ramones makes perfect sense (and not necessarily just for one song, either. Kinda sad they're not getting more attention here.)
Looked up the TV themes myself; here's how high they got on the pop charts:
5. The Rockford Files - Mike Post #10
10. Happy Days - Pratt & McClain #5
11. Making Our Dreams Come True - Cyndi Grecco #25
Weird -- I doubt the latter two, especially, got much radio play. Could be wrong, though. But I'm guessing the big chart factor must've been 45 sales.
Maybe it's necessary to have heard some of these in daily rotation
I did; still love way more of them than I hate.

But if you want to know
How I really feel
Just get the cameras rolling
Get the action going
Baby you know my love for you is real
Take me where you want to
Then my heart you'll steal
i love you so much lets make a porno, great song~!
