The Right Combination: Burning the Midnight Oil was a duet album by Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, released in January 1972. It included the humorous "Her and the Car and the Mobile Home" (in which a wife leaves her husband, taking their trailer with her, leaving him abandoned and homeless), which became a concert favorite.
The two title songs, "The Right Combination" and "Burning the Midnight Oil" were both top twenty hits on the U.S. country charts; the album reached #6 on the country albums charts.

Famous quotes containing the words burning, midnight and/or oil:
“Some of us who sit upon this platform have many a time been clamored down, and told that we had no right to speak, and that we were out of our place in public meetings; far be it from us, when women assemble, and a man has a thought in his soul, burning for utterance, to retaliate upon him.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship, or the sale of goods through pretending that they sell, or power through making believe you are powerful, or through a packed jury or caucus, bribery and “repeating” votes, or wealth by fraud.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Mr. Chadband is a large yellow man, with a fat smile, and a general appearance of having a good deal of train oil in his system.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
