Inspired by the "Rick and Morty"* giant head episode a few years back where they hover in the sky judging musicians work (I can't forget "Get Shwifty"). The call-out from these heads as they spun was "I like what you got". It was a great catch phrase and I hope I was able to do it justice in this hi-energy inspired dance track.

From Chew Toy to Bathtub Buddy

The earliest rubber ducks emerged in the late 1800s, following Charles Goodyear's invention of vulcanized rubber. These initial creations were solid and heavy, designed as chew toys for teething babies rather than for aquatic adventures. It wasn't until the 1940s that the rubber duck truly found its sea legs. Russian-American sculptor Peter Ganine is widely credited with creating the first floating, hollow rubber duck, patenting his design in 1949. His creation, a cheerful and instantly recognizable yellow duck, went on to sell over 50 million units, cementing its place in popular culture.

A Royal Bath Time Companion: It was once reported that Queen Elizabeth II had a rubber duck in her bathroom that wore an inflatable crown. The news caused a brief, but significant, surge in rubber duck sales in the United Kingdom.

World's Largest Collection: The Guinness World Record for the largest rubber duck collection belongs to Charlotte Lee of the United States, who has amassed a flock of over 9,000 unique rubber ducks.
