Ask an on-air personality this question and he can't resist answering.
Barry Manilow - Miracle (1978) - I liked it to begin with, but it has new meaning--I did top-50 radio in college from 1990 to 1993. I loved it, but the opportunities in it after graduation were slim, so I took a job in hospitality. I had a stroke in 2005 (age 34) and after a good amount of rehab therapy (including speech), I'd begun to do some voiceovers out of the house. I had even planned a return to radio on an educational station, planning to use this as my theme song. I'd edited clips of my shows from 15 years ago into this song, with the idea being that I was singing it to the entire concept of broadcasting, and "Now that I'm home again, you know that I'm home to stay" was a reference to not leaving radio again. I unfortunately got sick again and never made it to another live mic, though one of my commercials did run in New York City
How about The Commodores, "Brick House?" I had it on a CD in my car when I used to drive my son to preschool--just a few years ago, and he had at least "Brick...House!" pretty solid.
Then of course, there's the iconic "Stayin' Alive" from The Bee Gees (1977)
now, I was born in 1971, so I could reasonably go with "Rubber Duckie," but I don't think that's what you're looking for.
Then there's Donna Summer, "Last Dance." Roller rink, anyone? Right up with that one there is Gloria Gaynor and "I will Survive." (I've included as a bonus a more modern concert of it--not sure when, but the voice was still there, and she put on some show!)
