"Disco Duck" was a satirical disco novelty song performed by Memphis disc jockey Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots and released in 1976, where it became a #1 hit (and ranked as the 99th most popular song of the year according to Billboard Magazine). Combining orchestral disco styles with a Donald Duck-esque character as the main plot point, the song's story goes as follows:
- The character went to a disco party.
- Suddenly, he felt strange while dancing.
- He soon started to flap his arms and cluck, and turned into Disco Duck!
- After the music ended, he sat down ...
- ... but couldn't resist, and got up to dance again.
- Everyone was dancing like he was!
- They all danced more for quite awhile ... .
- Elvis thanked him for "getting down," and went into clucking of his own.
- The Duck replied, "You're welcome!"
- Fade-out.
Rick Dees' "Disco Duck" was available in record stores as a 45-RPM single.
The Walt Disney Company asserts that Donald Duck did not voice-act as Disco Duck. However, the 1979 album Mickey Mouse Disco, a late entry in the genre, did feature the track "Macho Duck," and the voice of Clarence Nash on the track.
