Combining campy disco styles with a Donald Duck-esque character as the main plot point, the song's story goes as follows:
- The character went to a disco party.
- Suddenly, he felt strange while dancing.
- He soon started to flap his arms and cluck, and turned into Disco Duck!<
- After the music ended, he sat down ...
- ... but couldn't resist, and got up to dance again.
- Everyone was dancing like he was!
- They all danced more for quite awhile ... .
- Elvis thanked him for "getting down," and went into clucking of his own.
- The Duck replied, "You're welcome!"
- Fade-out.
Described by some as "so terrible, it had to be a hit," Rick Dees' Disco Duck is available in record stores as a 45-RPM "single."
The Walt Disney Company assert that Donald Duck did not voice-act as Disco Duck. However, the 1980 album Mickey Mouse Disco, a late entry in the genre that has gained infamy amongst Disney fans, did feature the track "Macho Duck," and the voice of Clarence Nash on the track.
