Those Cats Were Fast As Lightning...
Yep, Kung Fu Fighting, by Carl Douglas. It was #1 on the charts for 2 weeks in December 1974. In the middle of a 12 week run in the Top 40, most of which was in the Top 10.
A sil;y song, usually classified as novelty. Until 2011, at least. Now, performing it is a hate crime. Geeze, politically correct, much? I hope I can still play it on my iPod, cause it's on as I type this...... Makes me long for the 70's.
I wonder if Blondie's Kung Fu Girls is Ok?

Post-script: Ok, if the post above has offended anyone, I'm truely sorry. Really.
