Burger King, 1976 - Holiday Gift Certificates for 50 cents. Cheap!
Ah, the holiday season is upon us! Let’s start bringing in some cheerful flavor to the ‘Disco this month. We’ll start with this Burger King Christmas spot from December, 1976. Only 50 cents for a gift certificate. Can’t beat that price. Holy wow, remember when 50 cents actually bought something? Jeez, I’m feeling old right now.
The M&M Candy Gang, 1978. This is a 'gang' not a 'club.' Be afraid.
Howdy, Bionicettes! It’s high time we had something fresh, tasty and “new” to look at. Enjoy this :30 second spot for M&Ms featuring the short-lived M&M Candy Gang from 1978. Eat your M&Ms…or else!

It’s time to enjoy another Brady Bunch Moment here at the ‘Disco. Today, let’s bask in three minutes of double-dating tension as Peter Brady dons a dashing artificial mustache and joins Greg and two lovely ladies at the Drive-In. Oh, the hilarity!
This snippet comes from the season five Brady Bunch episode “Peter and the Wolf” which originally aired in October of 1973.

Happy Monday, good people. It’s time for a short but sweet, rollicking instrumental from Duane Eddy to get our day rolling along. This clip seems to be from 1975 (the hairstyles sure point to that year or thereabouts) and features Eddy performing “Cannonball Rag”. You will enjoy. Press to play.
Robert Redford is 'Condor'. September, 1975

The bright side of the Moon, 1978
Happy Monday, Bionic People. Let’s enjoy some high-quality music from The Who to keep your new week on-track. “Who Are You” was recorded in Autumn, 1977 and was released in late Summer, 1978. The video below features live vocals from Roger Daltrey that differ from the album and single version you are used to.
One of rock and roll’s greatest drummers, Keith Moon, died (not long after this film was recorded) on September 7th, 1978.
