The disco “classic of all classics” 👍😆
I forgot about this song. This took me right back to childhood. I was too young for the disco, but I sure remember it from the skating rink. What fun!!😅😊❤
This got played EVERY night in the clubs when I was there… it was a huge hit! Some things are just beyond explanation… but it sure was fun! 😁❤️
❤
Exactly, unreal how actually huge this was!!
You two are killing me! Seeing both of you flapping your "wings" was priceless!!
Marie...did you flap yr wings back in the day? Or you a youngster....flappin yr wings
@@michaelasay8587 one or the other, possibly.
@@mariebishop7357 You're a youngster or the other? Lol. You a disco dancer?
I can’t believe you did this song! What a blast from the past 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I had this record as a kid. I played it over, and over. my dad thought i was nuts..lol
You mean Dad wasn't ducking it with you?
I wanna see BJ dressed like Donald or Daffy Duck “stepping up” to Asia in a club with this song playing… But I think Asia would then be screaming “OH HELL NO!!” & then running away while laughing her head off 🤣🤣🤣
🤣😅
"You are lying!"
@@kimberlinibambini1988 … Judging by Asia’s reaction when BJ started flapping his arms, I think it would be hysterical seeing it happen 😆😆😆
😂😂😂😂
@@gerardroll6468 me too!!🤣
You can laugh if you want, but in 1976, this song sold 2 million copies and went to the top of the pop charts.
It was , that was a hit then
I loved Rick Dees show on the radio him and Dr demento were the two greatest DJs of the '80 keep on rockin'
Oh my goodness, rollerskating to this! Lol. Thanks for the memories 😂
Glad you enjoyed it
That's what I was going to say. It was played at the skating rink a LOT.
Before this song, Rick Dees claim to fame was as an Elvis impersonator. He also played in the 1987 film La Bamba as the DJ who first played Richie Valens music.
This song went to number one for a while in 1976. It was played on the radio constantly. There is another hilarious song that unexpectedly became a huge hit called "Valley Girl" by Frank Zappa which was released in 1982. Would love to see you two react to it, I think you'll both fall off your chairs laughing out loud!
A lot of stations literally broke this record in an effort to not have to play it again.
Rick Dees was a very popular Los Angeles DJ at that time.
Actually, no. Dees was in Memphis at the time. It helped him get to LA.
Y’al laughing but be honest… you know you was singing it around the house! 😂😂😂
That was nothing but fun!!! You two are so cute!!
😊 thank you
I have a very specific memory attached to this song. In November, 1976, me, my sister and a bunch of our friends headed to the local Pizza Hut after a high school football game. Our team had come from behind to win and we were feeling especially rowdy. When we got there, the place was packed, mostly with other people who had also come from the same football game. It took almost a half hour to get a table and get our order placed, but once we did, my twin sister (God rest her soul), put some money in the jukebox and chose a few songs, one of which was "Disco Duck". Now, this is a horrendous song, but people kept daring her to play it again, so she did. They would give her the money and then she would go select it again. After 17 times, the manager came out and unplugged the jukebox. True story. Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots had numerous novelty hits back in the 70's. But this one was the big one.
What I like about this is, anything goes on these channels and rightly so.
I guess we all need a little laughter booster daily.
Thanks guys posting it...
" laughter is MEDICINE for the SOUL." laugh away.
I couldnt believe this was a Number 1 hit song on the Billboard charts in 1976 🙄😆 Rick Dees would later be an actor who could be seen in movies like La Bamba and is currently a radio personality whose show is syndicated worldwide.
Long live the longest Top40 countdown Rick Dees & weekly Top40
@@TheCambias his old radio shows from back when he was in Memphis in the 70s were entertaining too. You can find them on RUclips
😂 The power of music 🎶. Love and Laughter can make Life pretty wonderful.. So smile , dance and enjoy the ride 😉✌️🍻❤️
Absolutely!!
John!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I’m so glad they posted this for you and I finally got to hear it. ❤❤❤

@@scapito 🥰👋 good to hear from you ☺️💐✌️❤️
BJ great birthday dance for you ,LOL,fun song ! Love y’all ,great reaction as always !LOL 🤗❤️🙏
🤣🤣
THIS song in 1976 was a jam that went to #1 riding the wave of the growing disco craze. It obviously was tongue-in-cheek though. I can recall it on the radio as a small kid and the family looking at each other and giggling
You gotta love the silliness of the 70's. Disco Duck, Mr Jaws, Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road, The Streak...fun times, fun songs.
Also the song from 1975 called Bertha Butt Boogie by Jimmy Castor. RUclips it to see if you remember it.
Omg, Mr. Jaws was hilarious!!
Convoy, Sister Mary Elephant
Junk Food Junkie...Short People...the list goes on! Fun times!
@@proudmoon3 Muhammad Ali, The Ballad of Evel Knievel
Whoa, memories. Believe it or not, this song got tons of AM radio play about same time *C.W. McCall - Convoy* song did. Before cell phones CB Radios (Citizens Band) truckers used were a big thing.
*Lyrics - breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck, You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon*
CW McCall was the original cowboy rapper! Did you ever hear his song Wolf Creek Pass? It's brilliant!
🤨😂🤣Finally! He got it done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 💃🦆 oh I needed that laugh! Love y’all! ❤️💙🤎✨
Oh wow this one takes me back. My sisters and I would crack up to this. One of my sisters use to do the Donald Duck voice along with it making up her own words. As one could imagine what words were replaced. Lol Thanks for bringing this one back and to whomever recommended it. Cute and fun.
Use to wake up every school morning listening to Rick Deeds in the morning, kiss fm! Met him once at the Montclair plaza in Montclair Cali!
Enjoyed your dance moves
😂
I think this song was briefly in Saturday Night Fever (but it was not on the soundtrack). Hilarious, and a constant at our local skating rink. Next you must do Carl Douglas' Kung Fu Fighting!
This is hysterical. So John Boyd is responsible for this one?? Lol - Too funny guys!!! Love your disco duck moves😊🦆🐥
Thats the best disco duck I've ever seen. Yay!!!!!
We had this and Mr.Jaws which was kinda like a parody. It was about a reporter asking questions to the shark and the cast of the movie jaws, but instead of answering the questions, a bit of a snippet of a certain song would play instead very cool.
My love for Donald Duck got me hooked on this song back in my kid years.
My dad hated this song so much he refused to listen to Rick Dees on the morning radio when taking me to school.
Your dad is a smart man.
my sentiments, exactly. this was the worst song of the 70s.
Rick Dees used to host a weekly music countdown show I remember listening to as a kid. This song was huge for a comedy song.
Wow I had forgotten all about this song, but i could still sing it word for word as it was playing. hahahaha
That was fun!!!! Thank you John Boy!!!
Right up there with The Rubber Band Man!
I've always loved this song
He's actually a famous dj. He was in the movie labamba. Played the record and was the tv reporter for the funeral.
That's a movie you should watch
Wife here.., of coarse.., Loooved this song as a kid!!!.., So cool to see you two enjoying this song...The singer was Rick Dees..Dee's.., who was a top DJ for Billboard top 40 after Casey Kasem..!!..AWESOME REACTION U2!!!👍🌹🌹
You two are SO much fun 😂😂😂 I needed that!! BJ, I love Donald Duck too!!
Me too. That was so much fun and we have others to enjoy it with.
Now you need to react to Howard the Duck movie. I think you will not stop laughing for at least a week.
I have saved your reaction here to my playlist of ALL TIME favourite reaction videos. When I need a mood lift, I can easily replay this & others.
Asia saying to BJ - don't come over to me flapping around on the dance floor & expecting me to dance with you (or something like that)
SECONDS later - Asia & BJ BOTH flapping their arms around to the song. It was GREAT! - & I loved how this had you happy, loose & LAUGHING! Not a bad way to go on with your day - but BJ is one to be careful of (I bet you have your hands full with his character!) as he is "quite the talker" isn't he? - trying to convince you of things - rascally boy! 😄
I'm dying right now! I love you guys for making me laugh so hard and I needed it so bad! Keep up the fun stuff.
Oh my goodness. I haven't heard this since I was a kid. Thank you guys so much
Love Rick Dees, he was the morning DJ here in Memphis on WHBQ 56 AM during the Disco years ( mid to late 70’s) before he moved his show to LA and became famous, he was known for his cast of characters that he would do himself during his show , and when he released Disco Duck we loved it because that was how funny his show was, I’m glad he moved to Hollywood and got some fame because he was funny and talented.
Now you need to listen to the Studio version of the funky chicken by Rufus Thomas. Then watch the live version of Breakdown and funky chicken live @Wattstax 1973
It finally made it to the Asia & BJ airwaves... I just can't with this song ... lol ...
Before The Humpty Dance, there was the Disco Duck. Omigoodness, I love y'all for featuring this one! And yep, back in the day I had this on 45 vinyl. No shame. 😂
Brilliant from both of you - keep flapping those arms!!
Omg ! We used to CROWD the dance floor to this!!! Fun times !!
Disco duck. I remember when they used to place in the radio but when you ever saw it on the show there's actually a dance called the Disco duck . This is a really big song for the Disco area at the time it's the music that caught people
I ❤️❤️ this joint!! I was 8 years old when they played this classic tune every day on AM radio 📻! It's 😂😂😂😂😂!
While in high school our principle was angrily addressing the school over the PA system before first period about cars in the student parking area using the back street accessway to park in when Disco Duck started to play over him. From his office he was unaware of it.
Would someone even come up with a song like this nowadays? It was so much fun back then.
I love you guys. This was one of those songs that was fun and goofy, but it was a hit.
This was a preliminary dance to the Funky Chicken! 😂 Rick Dees spent some time as a DJ on the radio in Memphis before hitting it big in LA. He became very famous on the radio and with this song!
Blast from the past."Disco Duck" became a nationwide hit in the United States by September 1976. On the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, it peaked at number one on October 16, 1976, for one week, held the number-two spot for the following four weeks and remained in the Top 10 for a total of 10 weeks. The single sold over 4 million copies and won a People's Choice Award. It ranked #97 out of the 100 most popular songs of the year according to Billboard magazine. A misconception about "Disco Duck" is that the voice of the duck was provided by Clarence Nash, the original voice of Donald Duck in many Walt Disney cartoons, but on several occasions the Disney Company maintained that Nash never contributed to the record. The voice of the duck was performed by Ken Pruitt, an acquaintance of Dees, as stated on the label of the RSO release.Written by Dees, "Disco Duck" was inspired by a 1960s novelty dance song called "The Duck", recorded by Jackie Lee (Earl Lee Nelson) in 1965. According to Dees, it took one day to write the song, but three months to convince anyone to perform it
I just want to say I wish to goodness I can sit next to y’all and watch a movie. I love how Hacia pulls the blanket up over her face and everything that shit is so funny and BJ hey you’re so cool I did you, bro I mean really for real much love
You’ve gotta love this song. Don’t be a cluck…😎
haha so funny guys, I remember this well I was 12 and even us kids were laughing at this song at the time. There is a video and the guy is dancing around impersonating a duck, it's good for a laugh :)
I met Rick Dees in a Friendly's restaurant in my hometown. His radio show was based in a nearby town in CT.
I loved this song as a kid. What a trip back.
This was 1976 such a catchy fun song loved it at 12. Refreshing to hear it again
When I was a kid I danced to this every time it came on, even on the lit up dance floor.
Asia's voice in the intro song is so beautiful! 🔥
I loved this when I was 7 yrs old. and it was new.
Another good one is “Do You Think I’m Disco?” By Steve Dahl.
We used to have a lot of fun with this song back in the day.
I just love how much fun you two have with each other .. especially with this fun song.
In the 80's there was a movie, 'Howard the Duck'
This song made me remember that.
One of those songs people secretly like
You two have the best reactions together. How cool is that.
This was a very fun song for a minute back in the day. 👍🏻
You two need to check out a song by Joe Tex called "Aint gonna bump no more". Now if you didn't know the "bump" was a dance from back in the day.
This song was a staple at the roller rink. Dim the lights and activate the disco ball.
I was 5 years old and this was my first 45 record ever! Hurts my soul that disco imprinted my young life! 😂
Y'all need to try some Rufus Thomas "Funky Chicken", "Funky Penguin " Which were also cool dances in the 60s and 70's.
Long live Rick Dees the greatest morning dj of all time & long live his weekly Top40
Omg, I loved this as a kid...😂
There is a video out there!
Rick Dees was a national radio DJ...I believe this was his only song....thank goodness.
Had a few songs but this was the only one that really took off
Rick Dees was a DJ in Memphis .. This song made him famous across the country. He went on to be famous nationally including hosting weekly top 40 countdown. Hosted Solid GOld, and been in movies and tv sereis. He also sang the title song for movie Meatballs. That Bill Murray starred in. Disco duck was even in the movie saturday night fever.
The ultimate "ONE HIT WONDER" ONE WONDERS HOW THIS EVER BECAME A HIT. LOL. Now you know why Disco is not ever taken seriuosly. I graduated High School in 1981. So,I grew up in the disco era.but Im OK. now.
Probably look back fondly now.
@@jackiegoodspeed1849 Not really No. Im just glad that Disco...like punk rock from the late 1970's has died . They are only good for torturing terrorists. but that would be CRUEL & UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT. LOL.
@@michaelwernimont4410
Awww I love disco. Too young at first but it caught up.
Great song!😊
You see he did an impression of Elvis at the end of the song, on his radio show he would do Elvis all the time, it was funny! 😄
Childhood jam. So classic 🤩 🤣😆
I haven't heard this since I was a kid. 😂😂 Thank you to John for request.. You made my day. ❤ At least he didn't request "The Rodeo Song" (if you know, you know). Too funny
One of those silly , fun songs that made people laugh and have fun. Loved your reaction.
My grandparents had this on 45 vinyl
This was like Gangnam Style or the Macarena that year. Everyone knew the song, whether they wanted to or not.
Wow, what a blast from the past!
Watch the video of this song from the BBC where all the dancers dress up in duck costumes. It is very interesting and funny.
When people say the 70's had a WIDE selection of music, they weren't kidding.🤣🤣🤣
I am so happy you guys did this, absolutely made my day! still have the album. Hahahaha!
The arms flapping is actually called; the 'funky chicken.' 🐓
I have been waiting for somebody to finally react to this song! I keep checking back & I am glad that this time I was able to find you two reacting here. (I guess I haven't searched in a while.)
I would give you 2 thumbs up for your duck chair dancing if I could - (or more). This was what the song was for - just letting loose & acting a bit silly on purpose! (I don't really think that your generation, or any of the others near you really understands the concept of just letting loose (in a non-violent), silly manner & HAVING FUN!
You might have felt silly doing this dancing but you were both laughing & smiling with it & I bet your mood was just completely elevated after - even if you were already in a good mood!
Back in the day everybody loved this song because it WAS fun & silly & nobody could help but smile &/or laugh to it - sing along (& if possible) even dance a little to it. There is NOTHING WRONG AT ALL with music whose only purpose is to make you feel good.
You raise the left arm up
And your right arm too
Let me tell you just what to do
Start both of 'em to flapping
You start your feet to kicking
That's when you know
You doin' the funky chicken
3:35..Ah, c'mon Asia..Your parents had the "Funky Chicken"..Why not some disco duck? Fun no. 1 By Dees. Everyone wanted to know why he didn't record more was he already had full-time work as host of America's popular top 40 weekly radio program. (Coolest thing about the song? He had the guy who did Donald Duck's voice for DIsney on the record!!)
This song was the death nell for disco. After this, people understood that the genre had run its coarse. Electronica, metal and a fresher pop sound was to take over.
This really does feel a lifetime ago, thanks for the memory lol
