I'm guessing "Disco Duck" is the 1976 version of "Macarena" in the sense we'll never hear the whole thing.

Hot Chocolate was an interesting blend of Brits and guys from Trinidad/Tobago, hence their sound. And this hit made the Top 10 in each of three decades!

so I have 1976... what other two years?

wasn't it used in The Full Monty or some other cheerful Brit Com movie?

Such a great album, as I've recently discovered.  But, yes...Tinka is right.  He does sound like Fozzy Bear at times!

I'm guessing top ten in other countries, cause it certainly didn't go US Top 10 in 1987 (1997 is a bit harder to figure out, as Billboard had drastically changed their rules at that point). And I wasn't trackingthen.

I was hoping she'd go to 11 on this one.  It's been a minute, no?
