"Welcome Back" is the #themeSong of the 1970s American television #sitcom #WelcomeBackKotter. Written and recorded by former #LovinSpoonful frontman #JohnSebastian, it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week in May 1976, after only five weeks on the chart, and also topped the #adultContemporary chart (the show itself had become an instant ratings success upon its premiere the previous autumn). It also reached No. 93 on the #countryChart.

So...after 50 years of thinking that it sounds like "Oona Babba Leeja," I finally had to find out what the hell John Sebastian is singing in the Welcome Back Kotter theme song. Turns out, it's this...
"Who'd have thought they'd lead ya?
(Who'd have thought they'd lead ya?)
Back here where we need ya?
(Back here where we need ya?)"Makes sense, I guess. You're welcome.

"Summer in the City" is a song by the Canadian-American #folkrock band #theLovinSpoonful. Written by #JohnSebastian, Mark Sebastian and #SteveBoone, the song was released as a non-album single in July 1966 and was included on the album #HumsOfTheLovinSpoonful later that year. The single was the Lovin' Spoonful's fifth to break the top ten in the United States, and the only one by the group to reach number one. A departure from the band's lighter sound.
