Walter Murphy

Of course, it was covered by the Beatles in 1964, and the Beach Boys took their turn playing rock and roll music in 1976.

We're rolling through our spotlight of September of 76, and during this time in the 70s, it was quite common for everything to be disco-fied, from movie themes, kids' songs, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, if you can believe it, Here's Walter Murphy with A Fifth of Beethoven.

A Fifth of Beethoven Thank you.

Thank you.

And in terms also of an execution with an intention, I'd like to just quickly focus on there's two sequences and they both happen in the kitchen.

The first one, Strawberry Letter 23 by the Brothers Johnson plays in the second one, A Fifth of Beethoven by Walter Murphy plays.

And what I thought was so interesting about these sequences is they feel like montages.

And the same way like an 80s movie, you know, where Rocky is training and it cuts over days and stuff.

Thank you.

From Saturday Night Fever, it's Walter Murphy.

Well, hello there, and a fifth of Beethoven.

And now it's a point of sister saying don't try and take the fifth.

No.

It was scored by Walter Murphy, who, of course, scored many Family Guy episodes.

And he also co-wrote the opening theme of Everybody Needs a Best Friend with Seth.

And they were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
