lyrics from the 1890's: ”Long years have passed, child, I have never wed/True to my lost love though she is dead./She tried to tell me, tried to explain/I would not listen, pleadings were vain." (After the Ball, 1891)
lyrics from the 1970's: "I was on the dance floor acting strange/Flapping my arms I began to cluck/Look at me/I'm the disco duck" (Disco Duck, 1976)
