Even though 'Happy Days' premiered in Jan 1974:

Is this a repeat?  I haven't heard it before, but nobody's making any witty comments.  Good set!

it's a new set. Tom Bosley's work on Happy Days is the running tv thread throughout, although it sounds like some of the clips are from seasons other than 75.  I know, who cares.  I'm just saying'

yes good set!

let's see, so far:
 
Al Green - Sha La La

Chicago - Old Days

Disco-Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes - Get Dancin' - Didn't the Muppets cover this?

EWF - Shining Star - someone should name an energy drink after this song: "Make your body big and strong"  

La Belle - Lady Marmalade - someone should name a fruit spread after this song

(then some other song - NTM, sounds like Bonnie Raitt?)  Suzi Quatro - Your Mama Won't Like Me

KISS!  - RnR All Nite

10 CC - I'm Not In Love - I think this was a radio edit version... I heard a cut I wasn't expecting.

This tune is NTM.  Nils Lofgren?  Pretty good song.

ETA: Google confirms that Nils did a version of this song, originally by the Byrds.

Well, _I_ think it's Nils Lofgren, unless he was in Dr. Feelgood (never heard of 'em) based on my Googlings (see above). 

And a BOS for the toy piano on "Why Can't We Be Friends".

it wouldn't be 1975 without Why Can't We Be Friends?

the band touring as "War" has one guy from the original band, but he controls the name War.  And there are four other former members touring as "The Low Rider Band," and they can't mention their former band in public.  Why can't they be friends?

TV Clips from : Happy Days: Fonzie Moves In episode

 From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Happy_Days_episodes#Season_3_.281975.E2.80.931976.29)

epsiode 40    
airdate: September 9, 1975       
"Fonzie Moves In"    
With Howard worried about finance due his hardware store facing competition, the Cunninghams decide to rent the room above their garage to generate some extra income. Howard looks around for a suitable tenant, and is shocked when Richie rents it to Fonzie. Howard is certain that the Fonz is unsuitable and plans to get rid of him.

    * Note: Fonzie, who had started off as a secondary character, had quickly become increasingly popular with the public through the first two seasons, so this episode was designed to move him in with the Cunninghams and thus bring him to the forefront of the series. This is similar to what "Family Matters" did, having Steve Urkel move in with the Winslows and turning him into the main focus of the series.
    * Note: Fonzie calls Joanie "Shortcake" for the first time in this episode.

Even more memorably (and influentially): Fonzie jumps the shark, thus giving us the expression for the point at which a TV show (or any other enterprise) becomes hopelessly worthless.

And many years later, on Arrested Development, Barry Zuckercorn (played by none other than Harry Winkler), literally jumps over a shark.

I remember when The Fonz (Ayyyy!) jumped some 55 gallon drums in one ep, and that was a jump the shark moment for me:
