Sinister Ducks

[judda fett]

Excerpt from The Daredevils (precursor to Mighty World of Marvel) no 8, August 1983-

"Not contentwith his invasion of American comics, Alan Moore is aso planning to invade the record charts as part of the Sinister Ducks. Alan calls the single " a double B side" and has named Dave Jay of Bauhaus as an accessory before, during and after the fact.
'Old Gangsters never die' can be found on one side of the single while 'The March of the Sinister ducks ' is squatting on the other. The whole affair will be available from Beggars banquet sometime in July".

Right then, anyone else familiar with this and was it any cop?..

[paulvonscott]

It was brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!!

"You think they're cute, but we think they are sinister, ducks! ducks!  Quack-quack! Quack-quack!"



 

[judda fett]

Youve seriously got this havent you Paul..?

[Smiley]

I remember it had a fantastic sleeve by Kevin O'Neill.

[judda fett]

Did they do anything else? What type of music is it? Is anyone in the chat room now?

[paulvonscott]

yeah came on a flexi-disc, with some US comic.  Just the ducks song, one of my fave all time tracks.  Would like a proper copy of the single!

Sinister Ducks
 

Everyone thinks they're such sweet little things.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Soft downy feathers and nice little wings.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

But there's a poison I'd like to administer;

You think they're cuddly, but I think they're sinister!

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

 

What are they doing at night in the park?

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Think of them waddling about in the dark!

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Sneering and whispering and stealing your cars,

Reading pornography, smoking cigars!

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

 

Nasty and small: undeserving of life.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

They'll sneer at your hairstyle and sleep with your wife.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Dressed in plaid jackets and horrible shoes,

Getting divorces and turning to booze!

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

 

Forcing old ladies to throw them some bread.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Who could deny, they'd be better off dead?

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Look closely and you will recoil in surprise

At web-footed fascists with mad little eyes!

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.

 

If they were all right, how come people keep shooting them?

 

Alan Moore

RE: Thread title.  I was expecting "Sinister Ducks.....


.......and Ramone catches a slug in his head, the mug."

Hhhh..  It's my birthday.  I'm allowed to make deplorable jokes.

[Wils]

So what's your excuse for the deplorable jokes you make every other day of the year then?

Harpic Bidet, Korma-Boy.  :)

[Slippery PD]

I thought it was rhyming slang....  But hey I got a pervy mind.....

Yer Slippo

[Oddboy]

Happy birthday Si!

[paulvonscott]

Cheer smiley, that's the one, I could only fins an incomplete version.  This however, rocks!

[Mk13]

Funnily enough, I was expecting it to be a Vertigo-style dark 'reimagining' of the Mighty Ducks...

[Smiley]

Ooh, did it work? I'll have some of that.

It's all coming back now. I remember seeing a bagged copy on sale in Chapter One in the mid-80's. A brilliant Kev O'Neill sleeve (in a Nemesis Book 3 stylee IIRC) of some guy being eviscerated.

S Club 7? I shit 'em.
