Doesn’t sound like it. “I want a new duck. One that won’t try to bite…”

I chose to believe he tried to write biologically accurate verses about the rape, necrophilia, and corkscrew penises, but after a disastrous demo he was chased out of the library and went with a much tamer concept.

When the parody is worse than the original song about drugs

Do ducks bite? Does it hurt?

Oh I’m not saying they don’t bite. Just that I could write that without a card catalogue.

The song is nearly 40 years old. Have you considered it's responsible for turning deep duck lore into common knowledge? Of course nowadays everybody knows ducks bite!

That’s true, but I knew it at the time. Maybe I’m just a duck-o-phile. I figured everyone majored in Anas Platyrhynchos.

Ya I’m here to see what information he got from this research that he used in the song. In order to take a week he’d have to go beyond the paragraph there would be in the encyclopedia. But what else would there be on ducks. Scientific journals with a study on habits and behavior or something?

You wouldn't find too many scientific journals at your neighborhood library, but you'd probably find a few "Waterfowl of North America" type general interest books. Maybe one or two on ducks themselves.

Many different encyclopedias. Grolier? Encyclopedia Brittanica? That time all adds up.

Seriously! The lyrics do not reflect this alleged "week of research" at all???
