E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
In 1982, Murphy signed on to MCA Records and recorded "Themes from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and More". The album contained disco- and pop-tinged arrangements of themes to popular movies of the time, such as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", "Indiana Jones", and "Poltergeist". The album spawned one single, a medley of "Themes from ET (The Extra-Terrestrial)", which climbed to number 47 on the "Billboard" Hot 100.
