The follow-up single to "Kung Fu Fighting", "Dance The Kung Fu" charted at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1975. This would be Carl Douglas's second & final chart entry in the U.S.. He wasn't heard from again until several years later, where he moved to Germany & founded a music & film production company which has produced several scores for major movies.
Preem digging through the crates as usual. Still amazes me on how he does this, even after 20 years of hearing him do this for over 20 years. Absolute genius.
iam with you guys on this your right your right you dont get good songs like this any more u know what i mean i love these classic songs but im 18 even since i was a kid my mom get me hocked on these song and i loved them ever since and i still do
He certainly can sing! "Dance the Kung Fu" does show off his range a little more. I still think "Ku Fu Fighting" is a much better song. I think that it is better written. Dance the Kung Fu just seem to be riding off of the popularity of "Kung Fu Fighting". "Dance the Kung Fu" is not a bad song though.
"I guess making video's while you're in pajamas with porn music as backing music was in the style in the 70's". shut up you fucking retard. i can see on your comment that u watch a lot of porn and ur never gonna have a wife. this dude knows to move and has cool music.
I think I'll dance the kung "flu". This song is so lame it made me sick just to hear it. Good thing Carl had his Kung Fu to fall back on after this sorry sequel.
this song is absolute bollocks what a let down compared to kung fu fighting which is the mother of all kung fu songs,,,i can see why he was a one hit wonder,,,
This is where the sample that DJ Premier used for "Classic (Better Than I've Ever Been)" comes from. Nas, Rakim, Kanye West, and KRS One all rap over it. Both songs are awesome.
Its amazing how the sound just flows out of Carl Douglas. He sings just effortlessly. There are not many people that can do and sound as he did. He had it all , the theatrics , groove and the fun.
Carl is awesome, I like this alot, but I grew up loving Kung Fu Fighting, just fun music. I sure miss all of the fun music, the good and talented cool performers. Now days, they are nothing but a bunch of clowns... We can cherish the true talent from way back when!!!
guys and gals, those of you who dont get this song/video, to those guys "you guys just dont get it", and for those of you who dont get it, i will put it in terms you will understand, in the movie rounders, the card shark states, if you dont know who the sucker is at the table in the first 30 minutes, they you are the sucker, :-)
Anybody else get the feeling that Carl Douglas really likes Kung fu and/or watched alot of Kung fu movies ... I wonder if he practiced martial arts at all!? He could kick peoples asses and sing about it while doing so!! Cool Song too!!
EJus73 , if I have it right I believe that C.D. was a student of Akido for some years. This may have even been before his hits. Yeah C.D. has a fantastic voice and he recorded some great songs in the seventies and eighties.
VERY GOOD
