What, are you nuts? It was a joke. Nobody has ever before won an Oscar, Emmy, and Nobel Prize in the same year. And I specified chemistry. For the same person to not only win an Emmy, an Oscar, and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, but win them all in the same year? For god's sake, that's crazy.
On the other hand, Charles G. Dawes, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925, and who like Al Gore served as vice president of the US, co-wrote a song that became number one on the pop charts. From Wikipedia:
His 1912 composition "Melody in A Major," became a well-known piano and violin piece, and was played at many official functions as his signature tune. It was transformed into a pop song ("It's All in the Game") in 1951, when Carl Sigman added lyrics. The song was a number one hit in 1958, for Tommy Edwards...and has since become a pop standard recorded hundreds of times by [other] artists.
Which proves something.
