"Disco King" was the first single by Australian rock group Spencer Tracy, released on Embryo Records in January, 2003.[1][2]

"Disco King" earned a lot of airplay for Spencer Tracy, with the Triple M network adding "Disco King" to official rotation in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, NOVA Sydney & Melbourne running the track in the high rotation Buzz bin for two consecutive weeks and NOVA 937 in Perth giving solid airplay over a six-week period. The video clip to Disco King also received rotation on Channel V, MTV and Rage.[3] The song created interest in the band from Interscope Records in the USA.

"Cathy Hendrix in my office listens to triple j on the net all of the time and we just loved that song "Disco King". A musician friend saw Spencer Tracy playing a show in Melbourne and sent us a copy of their CD. When we put it on we were blown away -we just couldn't turn it off for a whole week." - Mike Dixon – USA manager (Ron Sexsmith)[4]

"Disco King" was nominated for 'Most Popular Local Original Single or EP' at the 2003 Western Australian Music Industry Awards.[5]
