Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas
We love a guilty pleasure here @just-a-daily-song.
Did you know that …
- It was almost a B-side! “Kung Fu Fighting” was originally intended to be the less important track on the flip side of another song. Luckily, the record company recognized its potential and made it the A-side.
- It was a super-fast recording. Carl Douglas recorded the vocals in just two takes because the studio time was running out!
- It inspired a dance craze. When disco fever hit, people found that the song’s rhythm perfectly matched kung fu moves, leading to a “Kung Fu Fighting” dance craze on the dance floors.
