Take me back to September 24th, 1976!

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is September 24th, 1976, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. Currently, people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

Schools and colleges are starting again and Autumn has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool and trees are starting to shed their leaves. The earthy smells of fall have started to fill the air. In America, the song Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry is on top of the singles charts.

Over in the UK, Dancing Queen by ABBA is the number one hit song. Gerald Ford is currently the President of the United States, and the movie Obsession is at the top of the Box Office. In the United Kingdom, James Callaghan is the current Prime Minister.

Because it's 1976, the music charts are being dominated by the likes of ABBA, Queen, Chicago, Elton John, Kiki Dee, Wings and Rod Stewart. In fashion, clothes have become baggier and pants have become less flared. Sports clothing and the "disco look" are both popular at the moment. Women are wearing sundresses, strapless tops with t-shirts, shoulder pads, cardigans, knee-length skirts and daisy dukes. Meanwhile, men are wearing tracksuits, flare jeans, low-top sneakers and untucked collared shirts. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Rosalind Russell, Tommy Bolin, Freddie Prinze and Elvis Presley would all be still alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Waltons", "Last of the Summer Wine", "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Tank", "Pursuit", "Gun Fight" and "Breakout". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "The Pink Panther Show", "Bagpuss", "The Oddball Couple" and "Dynomutt, Dog Wonder".

If you're a kid or a teenager, then you're probably playing with toys such as Twister mat, Shrinky Dinks, Connect Four and Cher dolls.
