One Hit Wonder: Disco Duck

I would be remiss if I did not mention that on this day in 1976, "Disco Duck" topped the charts and stayed for a week. The song, by Los Angeles disc jockey Rick Dees, poked fun at some of the dance styles of the day with its story of a man who dances like a duck. And, like lots of novelty songs that capitalize on a dance or a genre of music, the song didn’t do too much to help whatever shred of credibility other artists working in that style had earned.
Although the song appeared in the disco-defining film Saturday Night Fever, it was not included on the multi-bazillion selling soundtrack album, much to Dees’ consternation (but to the endless gratitude of the rest of us).
So, if you insist on hearing it, you’ll find it here.
Otherwise, it’s best to pretend it never happened.
