    One of the choices was going to be "Kung Fu Fighting", but that one's actually kinda cool.... I think these two represent some of the cheesiest aspects of Top 40 radio during the mid 70's. So what do you think -- which one is "better"?

    I was able to avoid both back then, and in the 40 years since, come to think of it.


    * It was Nashville, and the beginnings of what would be named " Southern Rock."
    Easy to shut out all else. ;)

    I'm frightened that I actually have an opinion on this, but Convoy, no question.

    Convoy. As cheesy as it is, its nowhere as bad as DD.

    Disco Duck makes me want to kill baby kittens. (not literally)

    I just realized -- one song is about a Disco Duck, and the other one is about a Rubber Duck.... hmmm.....

    I bought the "Convoy" 45. CB radios seemed kind of cool, especially since we could sometimes pick up chatter on our walkie talkies. I also bought Ray Stevens "The Streak" the year before. These songs were written for 11 & 12 year olds. By the time "Disco Duck" came out my tastes had evolved beyond the novelty song. :laugh:

    Hey, it's "Disco Duck" by a mile, good buddies. It has a beat, and you can dance to it. 10-4

    I normally wouldn't vote on something like this, but Disco Duck is such an unbelievable steaming pile of poo that I had to vote for whatever was running against it.

    Can't wait for these to be remastered by AF on SACD with the lost quad mix.

    Yes, it is a silly poll.

    I didn't vote for Convoy, I voted against Disco Duck. From the era when every bad song mentioned either disco or dancing.

    "You Light Up My Life" didn't mention either Disco or dancing...

    Sadly, no.

    Well, I'll have to go with this "original" version of Convoy because my perverted mind prefers the edgy line I plainly hear at 3:22 amongst the Daffy Duck noises...



    Disco Duck could've had some equally interesting sung alternative words but I really can't stand that song more than I can't stand Convoy.

    It beats either of these by a huge margin. I actually like it.
