The Duck Song was written by American singer songwriter Bryant Oden and released online in 2009, with an animated video that helped it spread widely on YouTube. The story follows a duck who visits a lemonade stand every day asking for grapes, despite being told the stand only sells lemonade. Its simple chorus and repeating joke made it popular with children and families, led to sequels, and later returned in short form clips, remixes and memes shared on social media.
