There are a lot of cheesy 70s radio songs that I really liked and still do:
"You Sexy Thing", Hot Chocolate
"Brandy" (I don't remember who; "The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine
girl...")
"Precious and Few"
"Have You Seen Her?"
"Betcha By Golly Wow"
"Magic" (Pilot)
"December 1963 (Oh What a Night") Four Seasons
