Before the Positive Cynicism Podcast Network (#PCPN) was formed, Wonder Why was part of the Positive Cynicism series on the Jittery Monkey Podcast Network. Those episodes have been repurposed for the "First Pressing" series here.

 

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.
