Not the Game.

For the past 10 or 15 years, my family has been searching for an album. It's a Disney kids album called "Goin' Quackers," featuring Donald Duck and Goofy, and it was a favorite in our household when I was growing up. It's been out of print for years, and despite our best efforts to find it -- including my mom asking everyone she could think of on a trip to DisneyWorld a couple years ago -- it seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth...or so we thought.

My mom called a record store called Beverly Records, which she had read could get out-of-print and rare recordings. They called her back within 24 hours to say they found the tape. As I was doing a little link hunting for this post (and sifting through dozens of links regarding the videogame by the same name) I discovered it listed on Amazon. Turns out it was rereleased on CD in 1995 and quickly went back out of print. I just picked off the only copy listed on Amazon (available through a partner retailer somewhere in Iowa).

So soon, after years of waiting, we'll be able to sing along again to that wonderful title track: "I'm goin' quackers -- Quack-quack-quack! -- and you can come along! / I'm goin' quackers -- Quack-quack-quack! -- just sing this little song/ Oh yeah! Sing this little song!"

Doesn't it just bring a tear to your eye?
