You know what contemporary superhero comics are sorely lacking in?Duck-themed vengeance.
If the Spectre had been feeling especially vicious that day, he could have opted to inflict today's b-side offering upon his victims instead...
Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots - Disco Duck (Part II) (the b-side of 1976's "Disco Duck" 7") - Because an instrumental version of a novelty song predicated on a sub-par Donald Duck impersonation makes perfect sense. Then again, we are talking about the 1970's; I doubt anyone looked up from their gold-plated coke spoons or custom-made bongs long enough to notice the absurdity of it all.
...and because one waterfowl-related musical travesty deserves another, I might as well lob this rotten egg into the ring, too:
Thomas Dolby, George Clinton & Other Folks Who Really Should Have Known Better - Howard the Duck (from the Howard the Duck OST, 1986) - There are certain cinematic stinkers from the past -- Xanadu, for instance -- that have improved with the passage of time. Howard the Duck is not one of them.
