 KUNG FU FIGHTING - CARL DOUGLAS
amaican-born Carl Douglas was working with producer Biddu during 1974 when the necessity to record a b-side to 'I Want To Give You My Everything', resulted in 'Kung Fu Fighting', a song which apparently took only 10 minutes to record.
When the Douglas composition was presented to the AandR department at Pye Records, they wisely elevated the song to an a-side.
Douglas, gamely dressed in martial arts garb, executed his 'hoo!' and 'haaa!' grunts while performing the song and kept up the novelty long enough to chart again with 'Dance The Kung Fu'.
