"Rubber Duck" is an album by country musician C. W. McCall, released on Polydor Records in 1976 (see 1976 in music). It is his fourth album, released the same year as "Wilderness", but concentrating on the themes the McCall character was popular for - trucking, as opposed to the various depictions of nature that could be found in "Wilderness". Among others, the album contains the song "'Round the World with the Rubber Duck", a sequel to McCall's earlier wildly popular hit "Convoy", with many humorous and absurd elements added. "Audubon" is a quasi-autobiographical song, while "Ratchetjaw" is a take on trucker slang, with a multitude of CB-related terminology included in the lyrics.
