Didn't have much money at the time but I bought a 45 of this and I still have it 🥰 It's the 1st record I ever bought 😂 I used to play it and dance around the living room with my children 🥰 still love it 🥰
@@itsjemmabond he did, but Sir Paul was not a novelty one hit wonder. Although I do give Rick Dees credit for making me laugh when I was in the 6th grade with this song, as Steve Martin would do two years later with "King Tut." Those silly comedy songs brought some brightness to that time in my life.
This was fantastic. When Disco Duck made the scene, I was barely a teenager and I loved this novelty hit. The fact that a real live radio DJ made it a Solid Gold Chart Topper was all the more impressive. Rick, I love your profession. I love Disco, and I love the Duck!
Feelin' stupid all the way to the bank with a triple platinum #1 song all over the world, despite providing us with this ludicrous piece of musical drek...
On this day in 1976 {October 2nd} Rick Dees & His Cast of Idoits performed "Disco Duck - Part One " on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand... Two months earlier on August 14th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on October 16th it peaked at #1 {for 1 week} and spent almost a half-year on the Top 100 {25 weeks}... It reached #6 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart... R.I.P. Mr. Clark...
Rick Dees was the best on radio morning show there has ever been. 70s 80s , you would look over at another car on the way to work, see them laughing cause you would be too at dees sleeze. 😂😂 Disco Duck was part of that comedy.
It sure put smiles on millions of peoples faces. I was a teenager in school when this song came out. I remember walking down the halls and seeing kids singing and having fun with it.😂
Paul McCartney continued his career with Wings and enjoyed collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson as well as a solo career and as for Rick Dees, he was shot down like a dead duck. I found the Disco Duck a quirky novelty record and I have to admit, I liked it !! (Sad or what?)
KC and the Sunshine Band, The BeeGee's, Donna Summer, and Barry White wanted to record this song. They were passed over in favor of the vastly more talented Rick Dees.
No, Paul agreed to do a joke intro for this as he was there to talk to other media at the same time. This was at the same time he did a long serious interview for Friday Night Videos…I am sure he was not stoned.
Well, this is a first: the Solid Gold dancers does not close out the show with their dance sequence. Thanks, Rick Dees. BTW, it was staged, for the record.
Carl butler I think Denny Terio taught Travolta for Saturday Night Fever. Michael Jackson was born with that talent which was molded from the time he was a kid
It was also rare to see women with tattoos in those days... nowadays, they've became standard issue in basic bitch starter kit's, along with earrings plastered all over their bodies... but the WORST are these nail jobs. I find nails to be repulsive and are a big time turnoff for me
@@jackmomma7481 and the best one is how self entitled they feel, they get fat, tats all over them and demand a top quality man on top, after a daily display of a terrible attitude towards men besides
@@nightfangs2910 an ever-growing trend that I've been seeing over the past 15 years is high quality girls getting with these pathetic scumbag guys... and all because these guys have a couple of shitty tattoos, post pics of them presumably owning the motorcycle they're sitting on (fake staged photos) have a criminal record and been to the regional jail (usually on charges for child neglect, domestic battery, possession and distribution, shoplifting, and even sexual assault)... Nothing is real about these scumbags, and I've even heard the names of a couple of them I know who are said to be part of this ring that lures in girls in. their 20s, then rapes and tortures them for a few days before putting them out of their misery. And all of it is said to be filmed, and then sold on the dark web for big money (the main purpose in the end) But these "known" sexual devients... people talk about them like they're the greatest people in town. Familial prostitution and coercive rape are the norm as well... basically, dad has a daughter in her late teens or older. He has a dope problem and his dope man happens to be a friend whom he's known for decades... so to get his dope regularly and in a timely manner, he sets his daughter up with dope man, and they end up living together... meanwhile, she's brainwashed and abused into thinking he "loves her" and posts shit on Facebook like "he's an asshole... but he's got my back no matter what"... years later when she hits her early to mid 30s and has 2 or more illigitimant kids,, she finally geys away from him... but now she's so fucjed tucked up and damaged emotionally, she no longer trusts other men... It's fucking sickening and downright bulshit what measures these turd go to in order to hide the fact that they're weak and insecure, and worry what people will think about them is "she" leaves him
@@jackmomma7481 women young and old love "the bad boy" opens the door to drama in their lives and women love to feed on drama, then their lives become a living hell for them and yet and still that dysfunctional relationship is very appealing to them nice guys that would treat them well are " boring " to them they crave drama and dysfunction
@@nightfangs2910 they crave dope in various forms as well. Which is why if why you're the dope man... you're in. I've seen many of good looking decent girls get ruined and I feel zero pity for any of them. There are 3 that I know of who died under suspicious circumstances within 2 years, and each of their "bad boys" they thought were so tough and would protect them were acquitted. What's hilarious is one of those guys was murdered not long after his girlfriends "suicide". Someone shot him 2 times in the chest and watched for over 30 minutes begging for his life as he tried dialing 911... once he was dead, he was dragged into a ditch along the rural back road nearby and left like discarded trash. A passing motorist saw him later on as the driver was passing through. But these girls dug their hole on the account of some wannabe hardass whose more fake than butt cheek implants... they can lie in that hole.
Im from Toledo Ohio and this was a major hit at my local skating rink.when this first hit swayne hall Monroe Street Toledo Ohio the folks that were there know what im.talkin about
Poor Rick Dees aka DISCO DUCK. HE should have been in ABC Moon Lighting that Fall 1984-1985 Season. Didn't belong with Solid Gold Television Series after Marylin MCCOO left August 25th 1984. Elvis Pressley was real king of rock and roll in late 70's before his passing.
The music in the beginning when we saw the limo coming in,I was waiting for RIC flair to come out! What's with the fake duck!? They needed real ducks,they would had been waddling and walking on stage and probably going potty there to! Times sure have changed. Video needed ducks than it would had been completed.
It was @ this end of this #SolidGold 📀 episode where I learned about this whole #DiscoDuck 🦆 phenomenon in the first place. I thought it was funny as Heck. 😆😂 This was the 1st time I have so many people walk off the set of a televised dance show - and to this very day - I don't think that was staged either.
After that episode of "SOLID GOLD": Season 5, which aired at the start of 1985, it's host Rick Dees vowed to quit and exit the show. As a result, the 5th season of "SOLID GOLD" continued on with a series of guest hosts week after week, which will last for the remainer of that season. Sorry Mr. Disco Duck!

Laugh if you want but Rick sang disco duck all the way to the bank to collect his check 😂😂😂😂
For real! Cha Ching!!💰💰
He sure did 😂. You have to admit the song was contagious 🤣
Nothing funny.
The very embodiment of the "one hit wonder."
It’s a banger honestly too infectious x
Having Paul McCartney introduce Rick Dees singing "Disco Duck" is like having...Paul McCartney introducing Rick Dees singing "Disco Duck."
Oh, please! It's not as if Sir Paul hasn't had his own own music disasters. Have you heard the song We All Stand Together?

That was eggcellent 👍
Get out!!!

Rick Dees has a little bit of Ric Flair going on with that robe ! Wooooooooo ! 😃😎😎
Elvis Presley Las Vegas Jumpsuit
I remember when this episode aired back in 1984 I laughed when everybody left
If I'm not mistaken, it was the only track in Saturday Night Fever which didn't feature on the actual soundtrack.
One of the greatest songs of all-time!!! Also, an intro by Sir Paul!!! Wow!!! xoxo The Clarences

❤this legendary disco 1970s song😊
Those solid gold dancers make me go quack
I have still have the vinyl single of Disco Duck and love the song just as much now as I did back then.
Rick Dees is the greatest pop music creative force the world has ever witnessed. He is a national treasure. He is the true King of Pop!!

Same...
Me too. ..wait i am old lol damn!!!!
Same here
Yes, I’m now 61 and these last 48 years absolutely flew by! ✨✨✨👀
Had to watch this one again. This would have done well at Eurovision !
It's been a long time since I've been watching solid gold on tv
honestly,this song is amazing.
It sure put smiles on millions of peoples faces. I was a teenager in school when this song came out. I remember walking down the halls and seeing kids singing and having fun with it.😂
@@murraychadwick9362 me too. Personally I always ended up in a good mood when the song came on.
I never knew that Rick Deeze was a song writer I knew as a disco jockey
This video represents the 60’s (Paul), 70’s (“Disco Duck”) & 80’s (“Solid Gold”)!!! xoxo The Clarences
Rick had a good sense of humor and didn't mind being on the shit end of the stick, good man.
hahah. They walk off the set! That's incredible! no ending dance from the SG dancers. This is great!
Was that a part of the production?
@@mynewyork165 this was definitely staged. haha.
@@nickfreshalive Who knows. I mean some people hated disco, & I think that song was on some lids shows. Some people hated that song too.
@@nickfreshalive It's kinda corney. It looks like they were pissed off & decided to walk off.
I was 13 and this was an instant classic ✊❤️🌟
The man in the duck suit was absolutely hilarious.
I remember this one.
I had the 45 record of this song with disco gorilla on it too 😎
I loved the seventies.
I'd feel stupid TOO until the checks started coming
This was a phenomenal return.
Paul McCartney continued his career with Wings and enjoyed collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson as well as a solo career and as for Rick Dees, he was shot down like a dead duck. I found the Disco Duck a quirky novelty record and I have to admit, I liked it !! (Sad or what?)
Disco Duck was featured in Saturday Night Fever but didn't make the Soundtrack
I think it might've been in the PG version, but it was cut in the R-rated one.
SoundQUACK
I was 16 when this song was a hit ... and still love it. Long Live Disco!
Herman Gouw I am with you because I was the same age when that song came out. I also now still love that song even today. It was a good all days
Great too hear this one again,been awhile.thankyou.
Love this song
Remember this very well Lisa Hartman and Paul McCartney and the master Rick dees
KC and the Sunshine Band, The BeeGee's, Donna Summer, and Barry White wanted to record this song. They were passed over in favor of the vastly more talented Rick Dees.
I forgot about this classic, nice.
okay so, the beatles's paul, elvis, disco and a disco duck all in one video--
i remember when this was originally aired...
Paul was probably stoned to the gills when he did that intro.
+JStarStar00 He probably thought Rick Dees was Little Richard.

I heard both Denny Terio and Rick Dees taught John Travolta and Michael Jackson how to sing and dance!! Long live Rick Dees and the Sunshine band!!
Carl butler I think Denny Terio taught Travolta for Saturday Night Fever. Michael Jackson was born with that talent which was molded from the time he was a kid
Taught Mike Jackson how to dance ? U should be banned from the UA-cam with that dumb comment
i love the outfits for the backup dancers, they're actually really cute!
that was pretty hilarious.
Only a very BRAVE person can perform such a song😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my God, no matter how bad my day was, I can be grateful this stuff still isn't on the charts!
those Solid Gold dancers!!!! 🥰

It was all planned, of course, and it proves that Rick Dees had an amazing sense of humour about it. :-)
That is Lisa hartman black( wife of clint black)..I believe she was just Lisa Hartman at that time..lol..ahh the 70's..lol
I wish they had shows like Solid Gold today. T.V. today is such crap.
Paul could keep a straight face!
Omfg ... i think paul is serious😂😂😂😂
When did this go to air? Googled Kenny Rogers - What About Me...1984
sometimes things are so crazy you have to love it lol
It's Sir James Paul McCartney...

Why do folk say that people dressed weird in the 70s? I don't see anything weird about it. People still dress in duck suits even today!
while the song is from the 70's this particular recording is from the 80's

Well not a big loss. Still had his morning show on KIISFM at the time; his Weekly Top 40 was and still is doing fine.

2 70s songs that have made it on Solid Gold(an 80s show)Disco Duck and Makin' It.
Rick Dees brought me here.
This song and "Doctor Disco" haven't been included in the "Saturday Night Fever" sound track album, even though have been used on the film.
Nice, fun song and video. Great rear at 3:10 also.
Tommy shaw. !!! STYX !
Classic Elvis suit intro
I think this is the first and only time we saw an empty set at the close of the show.
+Greg Palmer Part of the gag.
That's funny!
How do you know? I always wondered. What is funny about Rick and the audience suddenly believing his bad press half way through the song?
omg...who's the woman doing the intro...Lisa something? I remember her from the 80s?....but I can't remember her name and what TV show I know her from!!!
Lisa Hartman from Knots Landing ;-)
Lisa Hartman-Black (she's married to Clint Black)😊😊

OK, thanks. Now that you mention it, I remember her having that hairstyle.

Seems like a lot of white powder was used in this production, incoherent and continuity issues abound.
