- 1:21Buongiorno, oggi vi parlo di un celebre successo
- 1:24degli anni 70. Nel settembre 1976, mentre la
- 1:28disco music diventava sempre più popolare, Rick
- 1:31Dees, disc jockey radiofonico di Memphis and
- 1:34his cast of idiots, pubblicò su etichetta RSO,
- 1:37quella dei Bee Gees, il singolo disco Duck. which
- 1:39immediately became a success thanks to the nice
- 1:41use of the parrot voice. For the song, Rick Dees
- 2:09was not really inspired by the character of Papyrus,
- 2:12even if many thought that the voice of the song
- 2:14was that of Clarence Nash, historical dubber
- 2:17of the Disney character. In reality, the papyrus
- 2:20voice was reproduced by Ken Pruitt, a friend
- 2:22of Rick Dees, while The Duck, a 1965 song interpreted
- 2:26by Jackie Lee, was what gave the idea to the
- 2:29Duck album. Did you expect that to be a giant?
- 2:39Well, we had a good track behind it, and I was
- 2:41hoping, just cross your fingers, it's all you

- 4:25due to the success of Disco Duck did not make
- 4:28any profit. Disco Duck also appeared in a short
- 4:41sequence of the famous movie Soul Today Night
- 4:44Fever of 1977, which became a manifesto of Disco
- 4:48Music. In 1977, Rick Deez and his cast of Idiots
- 5:16tried again the success with the Gorilla disc,
- 5:18quite similar to Disco Duck, but with poor results.
- 5:21Over the years, the eclectic Rick Deez has consolidated
