PEANUT DUCK by Marsha Gee

I first heard this track whilst on a scooter rally in the middle of a field in Germany, my mate new it off by heart and went into this craze dance flapping his arms and shouting the words as if it was the best record he had ever heard.

Later I was to meet a Mod in Camden Town who told me tales of acetates and cover ups, he loved this record and hinted that it may be some one else sing to this record whilst under the influence of chemicals or booze, lack of sleep or all three?

I can find a clip on youtube and I don't have the record, I kinda like it but love the fact that there are some who adore it.

I do have a scratchy file of it some where?

Quack, quack, quackgiggy, quackgiggy, brrrrrrrrr, quack, quack, giggy, giggy, gi-gi-gi-giggy-gooma, gi-gi-gi-gi-gi quackgiggy, quackgiggy, gi-gig-goom, gi-gig-goom, gi-gig-goom-goom"

Best of Philly session musicians at Virtue studio

It's pure Philadelphia ... might be influenced by the Detroit crew ... as everybody was at those times

Based on the 2 voices, I can tell that his girl was DEFINITELY  NOT L.A.'s Marsha Gee, who recorded for Capitol's Uptown Records.  I guess she was apparently an unknown singer who recorded this at Philadelphia's Virtue Studios, assuming someone found an acetate with no artist name.

But, do we even know what the real Marsha Gee's real family name was?

TBH, not a record I'd given much eartime , possibly because of its title since its' inception, back whenever!

Having said that, whilst the latter lyrics are'nt overly exceptional, the backing track has a certain something, albeit, wherever produced remains a mystery, and TBH for such "anoraks" like myself, keeps me lovingly involved with our musical phenomena.....irrespectively!
