Today, Walter Murphy is known as Seth MacFarlane's go-to musical director (Family Guy, American Dad, et al). However, 45 years ago, he was riding high atop the charts with the disco-tinged "A Fifth of Beethoven", which landed him on The Midnight Special:
Murphy has won an Emmy for his work on Family Guy, and "Fifth" has been used on the show, particularly in a skit where Peter Griffin and pals are at a roller rink. "Fifth" is also in heavy rotation on some oldies channels.
