Music Box Dancer Last Dance Knock On Wood Le Freak Instant Replay I Love The Night Life Goodnight Tonight About The Record: Inspired by the novelty song Disco Duck, Peter Pan Records put out a series of children's records that were compilations of popular songs of the time. The fictional "host" of the albums was Irwin the Disco Duck, whose name would be altered to Irwin the Dynamic Duck when disco fell out of fashion. None of the songs were by the original artists; according to the album cover, they were being performed by "The Wibble Wobble Singers and Orchestra." Some of the songs featured Irwin singing, but more often he functioned as the album's disc jockey, introducing the songs. While numerous voice actors played Irwin throughout this series, the most notable is Don Messick of Hanna-Barbera TV cartoon fame, whose Irwin voice later became the one for Scooby-Doo's nephew Scrappy. Irwin's hair, wardrobe and DJ persona are all reflections of American radio personality Rick Dees, who wrote and recorded the Disco Duck song on which this series was based.
