Get Ready for The Duck

[lockhartgary]

This morning I was reading my "Number 1 Billboard R & B Hits" book and got to the Temptations "Get Ready" entry. The writeup stated that the song was similar to "The Duck", a song by Jackie Lee, and was written to capitalize on the Duck dance. I listened to the song on YouTube and did notice musical similarities.

Does anyone remember dancing the Duck to "Get Ready"?

Here's Jackie Lee's song:

Smokey is on record as stating that Get Ready was written after he heard The Duck...and wanted to replicate that 'feel'.

No. In high school we did a line dance to Get Ready and as I recall the Duck was different... kind of webbing your feet lol!
