Even as a lover of ducks, Blogging Molly could not resist this kooky duck toy: the "Choke a Duck." Essentially a gift for someone you don't like, the duck does the "chicken dance" over and over complete with musical accompaniment. That is, until you choke him--that's the only way to shut him up. And even then, he gags and clucks and flaps his wings and kicks his feet until you let him finish. (If only this feature were available with the Chicken Dance Elmo.)
My first question is: why is a duck doing the "chicken dance?" The company behind "Choke a Duck" calls it the birdy song, but at all the weddings and bar mitzvahs I've been to, the DJ always introduced it as the "chicken dance." But the company is British, so maybe it's like the lorrie/truck or shirt/jumper thing.
Here are the specs straight from the site: •approx 30cm (nearly a foot!) tall •requires 4 AA batteries (included) •not a real duck Get it for about $27.99 from Gadgets.co.UK
Now if only we could choke the DJs who keep insisting on playing "hits" like the Chicken Dance, I'll be happy. Maybe I should buy one of these choke-y ducks for every wedding I go to, and give him to the DJ who dares torture their audience with that song....
