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.
