Notes

The "Rappin' Duke" lyrics parody the hip hop bragging style popular at the time, wherein the rapper boasts of his/her seniority and superior rhymes and flow in his/her performance: "So ya think you're bad with your rap? / Well I'll tell ya, pilgrim, I started the crap. / When you were in diapers and wetting the sheets, / I was at the Ponderosa, rappin' to the beat." The lyrics also reference The Beverly Hillbillies TV theme song "The Ballad of Jed Clampett," with the words "Santa Barbara, that is / Swimmin' pools and movie stars," while also alluding to Ronald Reagan's presidency. (The acting careers of Wayne and Reagan overlapped for many years.) The song's constant refrain is "dah-ha, dah-ha," a parody of Wayne's distinctive laughter, sung to the music's slow beat.
