Wonder Why 15: Carl Douglas


Listen Later

Everyone was podcast listening. The latest edition of Wonder Why goes  back in time to the early 1970s to a time when dance clubs were popular  and martial arts were experiencing a rise in popularity. Combining  these two elements, Jamaican singer/songwriter Carl Douglas created a  chart topping smash with the song "Kung Fu Fighting."

Hosts @chadsmart and @MikeDeKalb debate whether "Kung Fu Fighting" is  a novelty hit or if future singles by Carl Douglas were hampered by the  perception of a gimmicky singer. Whatever side of the debate your on,  one thing can't be disputed, if you're making a movie with a fight  scene, "Kung Fu Fighting" must be included at some point.


This episode was originally recorded in 2019 for the Jittery Monkey Podcast Network
