Story about this misheard lyric by: Badge

There's no debate about whether this is right or not. The correct word is CATS. I was there in the 70s. Anyone saying kids, kicks, or cuts is obviously post-Yuppie.

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.
