She Got the Goldmine was recorded by the singer who had the theme song for what 1977 blockbuster movie?
She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft) "She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)" is a song written by Tim DuBois and recorded by American country music singer Jerry Reed. It was released in June 1982 as the third and final single from the album, "The Man with the Golden Thumb". A satire on divorce, the song was Reed's third and final No. 1 country hit in the late summer of 1982, and one of his signature tunes.
Little Criminals Little Criminals is a 1977 album by Randy Newman. Like most of Newman's work, the album eschews traditional pop-music themes ("I'll Be Home" is the only love song on the album) in favor of musical story-telling, often featuring quirky characters and cynical views. The first song on the album – "Short People" – became a hit single in its own right. The album itself peaked at #9 on the US "Billboard" 200 chart, Newman's highest-charting album to date.
