However, Donald Duck makes a memorable appearance in "Macho Duck", Tom Worrall's spoof of the Village People hit "Macho Man", with lead vocals by Nashville studio singer Eddie Frierson. In this song, Jim Tadevic, who was on the Disney studio staff as location spotter, plays Donald. Tony Pope was then brought in to add comic dialogue to "Watch Out for Goofy", as the lovable bumbler made a shambles of the dance floor and its patrons.|postscript=Jim Tadevic voiced Donald Duck in Mickey Mouse Disco.|access-date=December 16, 2023|last1=Hollis|first1=Tim|last2= Ehrbar|first2=Greg|date=August 16, 2011|publisher=Univ.
