I wasn’t around in the 1970s but this was a #1 hit. How did a song about a disco duck become a big popular song?
Cocaine.

It was the 70s, you had to be there to get it.

Disco was hot then, as were novelty songs.

R5, I love Ruby Flipper, especially Floyd. I’m surprised they weren’t bigger in the 70s.

It was from a local LA radio DJ named Rick Dees who was very popular during the’70s-‘80s and a typical straight homophobe. Much of his humor was juvenile, sexist and of the gay panic variety. Disco Duck was a novelty song intended to parody and laugh at the disco genre.

Disco Duck was the companion piece to that other 1970s cultural phenomenon 'the streak'. I can't explain it, you had to be there. boogity-boogity
