Kung Fu Fighting - Carl Douglas
Everybody was kung fu fighting… apparently.
This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we break down the 1974 global hit Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas — a song that somehow took over the world after being thrown together in about ten minutes.
We get into:
How this became one of the best-selling singles of all time
The bizarre story behind its recording
Lyrics that… really haven’t aged well
And why does everyone in this song seem to be involved in one massive kung fu brawl
Plus, we settle the important question:
Could you actually survive a fight against Carl Douglas in his prime?
Short answer… probably not.
New episodes every week.
