Edd the Duck released his own single, "Awesome Dood!" in 1990 - after receiving singing lessons from Sonia, who advised him to rap. It had the chorus: "I'm hip, hop, happening and I'm totally cool, I'm Edd the Duck and I'm an awesome dood!"

Edd also had a brand of milkshakes named after him in 1991, publicised in comics such as The Dandy. This came in three flavours.
