that condition song is from the 60s. not many people know this, but it's the first hit single ever by.... wait for it... kenny rogers. no, seriously.

also, i would add:

calling girls you think are hot 'foxy mama'. i got that from old episodes of "diff'rent strokes".

Didn't find anything comprehensive, but google '70s slang' and you'll get a few lists.  

I did find this little bit of wonderment.  A dictionary of off-color slang designed for people learning English as a second language, The Slangman Guide To DIRTY ENGLISH: Dangerous Expressions Americans Use Every Day.  There is some kind of crazy genius at work here.  Be sure to check out the .pdf "A is for Asshole" for sample pages, such as:
    "Here is a short dialogue between two Americans.
    BRET:  Fucking A! Some asshole just floated an air biscuit in here. It smells terrible!
    PETER:  No shit! Let,Aeos haul ass out of here before I puke.

    Fucking A! (p. 77)
    Asshole (p. 6)
    Float an air biscuit (p. 68.)
    No shit! (p. 134)
    Haul ass (p. 92)
    Puke (p. 155)"

...which give it a colonic appeal and the awkward sense that you might be a suppository.

I thought all that was from the 80's... bart simpson and the teenage mutant ninja turtles.

oh I think back in the day on the west coast people called converse sneakers bobos... but maybe that is an 80's thing too.

there was graffiti in the 70s in nyc and it was very elaborate and fun, not like tagging etc... it wasn't a code or someone's name for the most part.  street gangs had it a lot.  

thanks everyone.... well most people.

How much is a lid, anyhow? I've heard my dad talking about 'copping lids' and other such archaic tomfoolery, but I've never been quite able to pin down the quantity... Is it like an eigth?

Only when speaking whimsically of his younger days. They say it happens in the autumn years.

Only lids he's been copping have been by proxy. Namely, me.
