Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots

Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots was a novelty studio act led by American radio DJ Rick Dees, created around the 1976 hit “Disco Duck.” Dees, then a popular Memphis radio host, recorded the song as a comedic parody blending disco music with cartoon-style spoken vocals. Credited to Dees and his fictional “Cast of Idiots,” the single became a major success, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and selling millions of copies worldwide. Though not a touring group, the project cemented Dees’s national fame and contributed to his long career in radio and television.
