Walter Murphy

Is the Walter Murphy who wrote the theme song for Family Guy the same one that hit the top of the pop charts in 1975 with "A Fifth of Beethovan"?

Yep: http://www.air-edel.co.uk/usroster/wmurphy.htm

And while I don't mind answering questions that are easily answered via Google, here is the search I used at Google.com to get the answer:

"walter murphy" +fifth of beethoven +"family guy"

Wait a minute! You mean there's a way to search the whole internet at once? I usually just type in random URLs until one hits, then I use the Internet Explorer search feature to look for the text I want in the page. It's pretty slow, but I didn't know there were other options.

Well, I did a search like that at first, but I really didn't believe it when hits came back that looked like he did both. I mean, there could be two Walter Murphys out there and it would be easy to accidently mix their accomplishments.

And, with the two projects being so different, I wanted confirmation from people who are more familiar with it than I.

Fair enough, but all you had to do was read one of the articles that Google found and they typically clearly state that it is the same person.
