One Hit Wonder: ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ by Carl Douglas

Was everyone Kung Fu fighting in the 1970s? According to Carl Douglas, they were. This goof off novelty song was originally a B-side for the single “I Want to Give You My Everything,” but that song didn’t pop nearly as hard as Douglas’ ode to getting windmill kicked in the face. The single sold 11 million copies and became a staple of film and television, but that was all she wrote for Douglas’ career as a pop star. H/T>
