Kung Fu Fighting - Carl Douglas ... "Huh!"

This song is one of a kind. Truly. "Kung Fu Fighting" is truly infantile, trite and misinformed (as to the ways of the martial arts)...having said that, the song is absolutely cute, unassuming and entertaining. The opening riff (with its pentatonic air) is fabulously distinctive -- if you hum it to most anyone, that person (the anyone) will exclaim, "Kung Fu Fighting? Isn't that the song about Kung Fu Fighting?"

Don't think about it. Just enjoy it. Silly sound effects and all. It's a "old school" type of Top 40 hit.

I dedicate this song to Soke Joseph Droual, owner of the New York Martial Arts Hombu (in Huntington, New York), my martial arts instructer, a true Master, an inductee into the US Martial Arts Hall Of Fame, and a wonderful, faithful friend.

OH NO! - It's "Beware Of The Blob" - RadioDAZZ Remembers

As a youngster (growing up in the Carpathian Alps with my grandpapa, a respected cheesemaker and impaler, during the French and Indian War), one of my favorite science fiction movies (starring the late Steve McQueen) was "The Blob." It was campy, trite, and budget-tight, but it was thoroughly entertaining, especially if you were a teenager (which I wasn't) in your freshly-waxed Studebaker (or Biscayne) at the drive-in theater.

The theme song from the movie is actually a wonderful Mambo. Very, very catchy. Please click on the link and enjoy this bit of musical nostalgia. You'll find it difficult not to dance around with a foolish grin on your face, and the song will be running through your mind for days. I promise [but being a prudent businessperson, I will not put that into writing. Ha!].

This masterpiece was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David in 1958. The vocal was performed by The Five Blobs, who later went on to various unnotable cover careers under the US Federal Witness Protection Program.
