A Disco Demolition

The other day I was running on a treadmill. When I'm running on a treadmill, in an effort to combat the boredom, my mind wanders in an effort to distract and to waste time. Usually it plays a song. This time, however, it went way back in the vault and played the following chorus, over and over:

So watch out! Watch out for Goofy!
Watch out for Goofy
He's a disco demolition.
Watch out! Watch out for Goofy!
Watch out for Goofy
We love him but he just can't dance!

Yes, it is that immortal disco classic, "Watch Out For Goofy", from the timeless album Disco Mickey Mouse (I included the exclamation points because the singer was very adamant about the threat of a dancing Goofy). Unfortunately, since the rhythm of the song matched the pace of the treadmill, the chorus was repeated over and over, until even days later I find myself singing it under my breath. This album (for back then, it was an album) came out in 1979, and, as far as I can tell, is out of print and unavailable online. Which is sad because I actually thought about downloading it (this, in turn, is also sad). I also couldn't find any lyrics anywhere, and since I can only remember that stupid chorus, that is what I'm stuck with. Even now as I'm typing, I'm tempted to sing it to myself. It is just that catchy.

did that LP also have "Disco Disco Duck"? Because I definately had Disco Duck. It was awesome.

There was a song called "Macho Duck". The chorus:

"Macho macho duck
Oh he's a manly sensation
Macho macho duck
He's a macho macho duck."

The manly sensation line is a little creepy.

I know this was posted a while ago but today I had the urge to find this song. I had the original LP when I was very young and my mum broke it! It's hard to get hold off these days, but I found the song on google after a LONG time of searching. There are also lyrics available now too. If you want it, reply here :)

Do not sing "WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT FOR GOOFY!" while riding in the car with your dad. I learned that the hard way.
