Trivia

  • Although Walter Murphy performed almost every instrument for A Fifth of Beethoven himself, Private Stock Records felt the song would be more commercially successful if credited to a band rather than an individual. The label credited the song to the fictitious Big Apple Band, not realizing that this was already the name of an actual disco group (which later changed its name to Chic).
  • Walter Murphy now works as a television music director and composer. He was the main music director for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. More recently, he has worked as a composer for animated shows including Family Guy, Channel Umptee-3, and American Dad.
  • A Fifth of Beethoven does not run at a constant 110 BPM. The tempo fluctuates throughout the song, ranging from 103 to 114 BPM.
