Duck Dancin'

We really shoot our waddle this week: FOUR songs from the 60s about ducks and dancing! First up is "The Duck" from 1965 by Jackie Lee (1:20). We note the religious undercurrents to this seemingly frivolous ode to our feathered friends, and we also question if The Duck is the least (or most?) erotic dance ever. Next in line is The Autographs from the same year, and their wild waterfowl wingding, "Do The Duck" (40:48). The guys in the band boldly quack where no one had quacked before, and the leading lady brings even more passion & gospel spirit to  the titular subject: the power of the Autographs Compel You (to do the duck ...). The third in our raft of 1965 duck tunes is "Can You Do the Duck" by The Meadowlarks (1:07:50). Some soulful falsetto gets the birds in the air, and the dudes on the dancefloor. Meanwhile, The Bracelets were paddling up front in 1962 with "Waddle Waddle", and these Mama Ducks gets their ducklings in a row with the cha-cha rhythm we've been ga ga for all year (1:33:17). And finally, there's a bonus, brooding version of Jackie Lee's number from some guys called The Duclairs (1:56:11). I think it might have been in an episode of Miami Vice - Or maybe Duck Tales?
