Everybody was a kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing
They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a fainting to a slip and kicking from the hip
Everybody was a kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip
Everybody was a kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

let's say, hypothetically, for the sake of the argument, that everybody was kung fu fighting, therefore we can conclude that those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was little bit frightening

I used to watch this back before Kung Fu Panda was a movie/show. I was only a kid (6 yrs old) back then.
Such a classic song
Nice.
why is this still a banger still in 2024?!
Because it was kung fu fighting
Because its real that makes sense nuff said
It just is
Always will be

@@johnhill160 back in that time did your Grandma use to be a nice kung fu fighter?
To those who looked it up and not got recommended here, you must have great taste
This song is so epic. I am 54yo, searched it up, and my 14yo daughter knew it immediately! I told her it was huge in my childhood, she informed me everyone knows this song and loves it. The guitar riff is wicked❤!
The audience really just sitting there like they're not listening to the greatest musical piece to ever grace human ears
The only one who was talking was the backup singers Carl douglass and HUAAAA.mp4
literal translation to its" logical " conclusion
They didn't know they were witnessing greatness
LOL I laugh every time I see the audience of some of these videos just sitting there, no reaction, no nothing! I don't know if they are told to not move! Crazy!!!
i think Brett Whitely is sitting on the stage
Back when zoom was the only "camera effect" there was.
M-T yes, great times
But his voice is good as now
Almost died laughing of sudden realisation
Back in my younger days in the 70s I used to be a DJ at a local radio station. I played this song I don't know how many times I would often find myself sitting in the control room singing along to it
Currently my one year old’s favorite song. Just played it about 10 times to get him to fall asleep. Passing the torch to the next generation.

Loved it when I first listened to it during the Movie Kung Fu Panda.
Some History to be rewind: (Source: Wikipedia)
Carlton George Douglas (born 10 May 1942) is a Jamaican-British recording artist based in the UK who is best known for the 1974 disco single "Kung Fu Fighting".
Douglas's career was based in the United Kingdom. His disco single "Kung Fu Fighting", produced by British producer Biddu, ranked number one on both the UK Singles Chart and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1974. The single sold 11 million copies worldwide,[3] making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. The single was later certified gold by the RIAA on 27 November 1974.
Thanks, everyone.
God Bless You All.

If I showed up to a kung fu class and this was playing, I'd never leave.
I did something similar when I went to India. Alabama 3's 'Aint going to Goa' played all the time and I never did.😎
😁😁😁
That would be amazing! Someone needs to play this at a kung fu class
🤣🤣🤣
I actually am in a Taekwondo class does that count?I acutely am
I'm listening to this it 2024
Love this guy singing about kung fu and droppin karate chops in the same time 😂❤
I first heard it in 1977 at age 14. Still listen to it at 60.
They played it all the time in '74. You didn't have a radio until you were 14?? I was also 14 in '77.

Before 1977 I was living in Pakistan. Society was not too friendly towards American music
Me too. That doesn’t make it right.
Everyone in the audience was too terrified to even move a muscle.
Either that, or they all were cardboard cutouts.
In fact it was a little bit frightening

Came from Tiktok and I absolutely love it
Last year, while on holiday, a guy passed me wearing a T-shirt which just said: "But why was everybody kung-fu fighting?" I just laughed out loud in the middle of the street.
i want that shirt
Gosh. Why? We had martial arts everywhere! Hong Kong Fooey on Saturday morning cartoons. Kung Fu on the tv. Bruce Lee. Chuck Norris. Richard Pryor talking bout Mudbone...
"Then he come at me wit two sticks!"
"Ain't no nicca ever beat my azz wit no stick!"
"So I pulls out my pistol and I shot him in his azz"
"Six times!"
I want a shirt like that
Only 2 know the answer to that--funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung.
because of Bruce Lee
This song was and will remain immortal in the world of music
fax
a total perfect song
Exacto

Sure thing.
Honestly just such an amazing classic song. The best part is the chorus I'd say just so well done with the music and while he's singing

I'm about to purchase a tee shirt that says - surely not everyone was kung fu fighting- and my son didn't understand the reference, so here I am. He thinks the song is "funky". 🤣🤣🤣

They only came alive at the very end when the music was fading. It's as if they all sighed in relief and thought: "Oh thank goodness it's finally over. Now let's clap so that he will think that we liked it." That's so brutal and icy. LOL.
They just into the music

Una chica me recuerda al panda
Great song but wouldn’t go that far.
We kidnapping people as SCPs for this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️
what kid
Lets all agree this song reminds us all of a more simplier time.
This song always reminds me of being a kid in the seventies. After seeing a chinese movie on Saturday afternoon, all the boys spilled of the theater, and commenced to kicking and chopping and yelling " keeyahhhhh". Good times !
The first time we sat with our new grandson, and he got fussy, my wife played this song, and he immediately calmed down. So now, she plays it for him every time we get to see him.
What a lovely memory! Thanks for passing it on!
Those kung fu movies were on after Saturday morning cartoons in the late 80s and early 90s too. As an adult I think it's funny how violent they were and no one cared that kids went from cartoons to kung fu every Saturday morning.
😂 That fussy grandson. I love it! Wish I’d tried this song when my grands were babies. .. This song was out when I was in my early twenties but I loved it as much as the littler kids. It’s catchy and danceable, and Carl Douglas has a wonderful voice!
I'm sure he just can't wait
