Long before he hosted the Weekly Top 40, in 1976 Rick Dees (and His Cast of Idiots) hit #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 and Casey Kasem's American Top 40 with the novelty hit "Disco Duck". Remember that song?

If David Letterman ever does a "Top 10 Ways To Irritate People", spinning this record should easily make the top 5.

I never liked his top 40 show, I always thought he came across as annoying and obnoxious and Casey to me is much better and more iconic. As for this song, it's cute, I mainly like it for the Donald Duck parts lol

Nope on this but I do like Rick Dees as a radio DJ though.

One of the dumbest songs of the 70s.

who would have thought at the time that Rick Dees would end up having the longest running weekly countdown show.
