David Naughton - Makin' It

This was the theme of a 1979 sitcom TV series on ABC that was a casualty of the fading disco trend, lasting for only 8 episodes. However, the theme song sung by the series lead actor David Naughton managed to outlive it, as it entered Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1979 and cracked the Top 40 about two months after the show was cancelled, where it eventually peaked at #5, as well as going to #11 on the Disco charts. Makin' It was also featured on the soundtrack of the 1979 Bill Murray movie, Meatballs.

Thousand times better than the re-recorded version. Too bad it's not available on Spotify.

He had folks working up a sweat in 1978. He also had everybody singing "I'm pepper, she's a pepper, he's pepper, we're a pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a pepper, too?" Then, 3 years later, he would scare the HELL out of folks when he became a werewolf. His human form would make us laugh. His werewolf form would have us not wanting to turn the lights out a night.

I love how the label says, "From the hit ABC-TV series..." 😂
It was canceled after 9 episodes. This song was on the charts longer than the show was on the air
