Digital Duck
I am swimming in nostalgia. I found Mickey Mouse’s Splashdance album on Amazon’s MP3 downloads. My sister, Stacey, and I listened to that album SO many times. I could almost sing all the songs by heart.
I’m surprised at how high tech the album was. It was released in 1983 and it is far more computer, robot and digital friendly than I realized back when I was a kid. Take the song, Digital Duck, about Donald Duck’s love for gadgets, even when they steer him wrong.
He’s a D-D-D-D-Digital Duck
D-D-D-D-Digital Duck
Donald loves his gadgets, even though they run amok,
He’s a D-D-D-D-Digital Duck

For the full Disney and Eighties masochists, here is the full song:
It doesn’t end there, with songs like Hoedown at the Robot Farm, One Little Android and Gyro Gearloose, it was a TOTALLY gadget lovin’ album… TOTALLY.
