Everybody got struck by lightning
That was quite so exciting
Not very much as frightening
Everybody started crying
That was quite so exciting
Not very much as frightening
Everybody started crying

Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing

"Kung Fu Fighting"
Opening Lines: Oooo - Oooo - Oooo, Oooo - Oooo - Oooo, Oooo - Oooo - Oooo, everybody was Kung Fu Fighting.
Comments: The #1 hit from December 1974, "Kung Fu Fighting" started a huge mini-craze, that would be seen during much of 1975, of taking martial arts moves onto the Disco dance floor. And it was started by Jamiacan born Carl Douglas (born 1942) and his song "Kung Fu Fighting". Carl Douglas currently lives in Germany and runs a publishing company.
