This guy was really one of the greats, and this is the one that goes number one? That's why I put it at number two because it, he should have more than this song at, at number one.
Bobby BonesHOST
My Ding-a-Ling, that's his only song? He's a great giver of American culture, and the only song we're gonna put at number one from him is My Ding-a-Ling? Okay, and now number one, Rick Dees' Disco Duck.
Bobby BonesHOST
The funny thing about this is that he was, like, a radio DJ in Memphis, and he made this song.
Bobby BonesHOST
And his band, and I didn't know this until I researched this, was actually Rick Dees & his Cast of Idiots.
Bobby BonesHOST
Maybe you're familiar with my musical duo, The Raging Idiots.

He should have more than this song at, at number one.

What started it was that Chuck Berry never had another number one song other than My Ding-a-Ling, and I could not believe it.
