Rick Dees & His Cast of Idiots

Rick Dees & His Cast of Idiots is a US studio project led by radio personality Rick Dees that produced novelty pop with disco influences in the 1970s. The recordings blend comedic spoken-word segments, character voices, and disco-style arrangements, relying on parody and tongue-in-cheek humor. The act is associated with novelty recordings that crossed from radio into pop-oriented formats and illustrate the era's mix of comedy and dance production.
