Song: Kung Fu Fighting

I love songs with a kick, like Kung Fu fighting.

From my point of view, it's kind of funny and comic. I think this song might make every non-Chinese person think that all Chinese people know kung fu!

My dear sister learned Nan Chuan, a type of Chinese martial arts when she was a teenager.

And when I was growing up, my mother would wake us up early in the morning to practice Tai Chi or Xiang Gong in the nearby park with about 10-20 elderly aunties and uncles. A cassette tape play would be playing Chinese instrumental music with martial arts instructions while we exercised.

It felt good to smell fresh morning air and exercise in the cool morning. Gosh I miss those days...

Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas

Everybody was 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 feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Everybody was 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 kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

(repeat)..make sure you have expert timing
Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning
