History

Inspired by the novelty song "Disco Duck", Peter Pan put out a series of children's records starting in 1977 that were compilations of popular songs of the time. The fictional "host" of the albums was Irwin the Disco Duck, whose name would be altered to Irwin the "Dynamic" Duck when disco fell out of fashion. None of the songs were by the original artists; according to the album comer, they were being performed by "The Wibble Wabble Singers and Orchestra." Some of the songs featured Irwin singing, but more often he functioned at the album's disc jockey, introducing the songs.
