Disco Dave

In 2007, the [American Idol] television series partnered with fast food megacorporation McDonalds to make American Idol toys for their Happy Meals. In 2008, they put out eight cartoony figurines of fictional genre singers including this leisure-suited Lothario with an oversize medallion and receding hairline.

The figures each play a different short music clip (no vocals) when their arm is raised.

MTV thinks Disco Dave may be a veiled version of real contestant Sanjaya Malakar.
