Answer: Novelty Song

Performed by Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots, 'Disco Duck' (1976) is an infuriatingly catchy tune which became a hit in the United States and in the UK. Dees was a disc jockey in Memphis when he recorded this song, a satire of the Disco craze that was sweeping the nation at the time.

Answer: Film

'Duck Soup' (1933) is a comedy starring the irrepressible Marx Brothers. Although, admittedly, it is chaotic and irreverent, the subject matter - war, dictatorship and religion - is serious and still relevant today.

Answer: Poem

Written by the master of wonderful nonsense, Edward Lear (1812 - 1888)'The Duck and the Kangaroo' is a five-stanza poem about the conversation between the two animals - the former expressing its jealousy that it can't bound around the world, unlike its marsupial friend.

'Said the Duck to the Kangaroo,

"Good gracious! how you hop!

Over the fields and the water too,

As if you never would stop!

My life is a bore in this nasty pond,

And I long to go out in the world beyond!

I wish I could hop like you!"

Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.'

Answer: Game

A children's party favourite, 'Duck, duck, goose' is a lot of fun, and simple to play. There are at least three versions of this game, the most popular being where the player chosen to be 'it' walks around a circle of seated children, lightly tapping each one on the head whilst saying 'duck, duck, duck...' until they randomly proclaim a player to be a 'goose'. The 'goose' must then jump up and try to tag 'it' before 'it' makes it back to the vacated space.
