[mirkobenini1]

grande pezzo



[macou08]

Carl put on  a japanease traditional fireman's costume. That is hikesi no hattupi. まあ、勘違いだね。

[BoogieWithStew]

Carl sounds just like the record, unlike the sea of punks and pretender "artists" out there today.

[MyBrett99]

Besides, They're probably all saying, Wtf is he saying?

[MyBrett99]

The Germans have never seen a painted man, That's why they are such a poor audiance

[Lizbeth218]

agreed. the audience is horrid...but at least back then there was real talent in the singers and musicians.

[xxabooodxx100]

허ㅘ ㅠㅍ마ㅓ뉴ㅠㅍㅊㅊ

[ut199484]

カンフー

[pagalley1]

This song probably made Carl Douglas a multi-millionaire...It sold 11 million copies back then, which was a LOT, even by today's standards.

[ahhmeeman]

Him SHOULDA CHOP FEW LIVEN THEM RIGHT UP!

[CabhammerP]

the only black dude is him

[kelvedran3]

[humanforotherhumans]

[nfoote]

Karl Douglas is originally from Kingston, Jamaica. He was living in the UK when he hit the big time with this song.

[nfoote]

Karl Douglas is originally from Kingston, Jamaica.

[majadahonda]

The guy responsible for entering the music track had the sense of rhythm in his ass, "Everybody was KUNG (music should enter) fu fighting" 

[WolvoExPunk]

Lucky he wasn't singing this racist song in England. He'd be arrested.

[bluepheonex1989]

@WolvoExPunk or lynched by do-gooders.

[DanXZ]

@WolvoExPunk

erm...he did..and he wasn't! Different times...

[ereys]

@WolvoExPunk how is this racist????

[WolvoExPunk]

@ereys About a month or two ago, some pathetic loser had a karaoke singer arrested for singing this song, as it was offensive to Chinese. We have some really stupid laws and even more stupid coppers in this country.

[blackman68ful]

@WolvoExPunk How in the hell can you call this song racist? I don't hear him insulting asian people anywhere in this song. It just goes to show you that people like you is full of shit. There are lots of songs out there that are racists this song isn't one of them buddy.

[crossie2003]

@WolvoExPunk lol, I grew up dancing to this song at childhood discos!

[TheUnderRock]

@WolvoExPunk Racist? please explain.

[StrongINspirit]

A big Black 'Chinese' man singing Kung Fu!

[666FRISAN]

5 stars...

[Mykevin67]

This is German television, they may have not spoke english. These clips with the Disco billboard are all German TV. Germans and Europeans embraced American music in the 70's.

[Quickmixmusic]

@Mykevin67 DISCO was the biggest Music TV Show in the 70's and early 80's.

Hosted by Ilia Richter!

[MohawkRacetrack]

fred is a one ! of a kind right beebs

[ccsfelix]

[Cloudsorrow256]

[nerodant85]

@Cloudsorrow256 they were all white :I

[at1withWii]

@Cloudsorrow256

cuz hes black :(

[smokeshover]

Ahhh the good days when people were actually good at singing and didnt need technology because they had real natural talent. does anyone else miss that?

[MarioAndLuigi7201]

even though i was not born until the 90s i like the 70s music a whole lot better than this bullcrap they got today i dislike electronic voice inhanced music 70s 80s are the best years i wish i was born in the 60s

[filmidioten]

@smokeshover Yes I remember that, but I don't understand why you would write such a thing regarding this one-hit-wonder. <3

[guitarandsingingdude]

@smokeshover gunna be honest mate, this really isnt a particularly good vocal ... and there are some good singers these days, you just need to filter through the crap :)

[blackman68ful]

@guitarandsingingdude To be honest with you mate you are full of crap as well, people just have to filter through all of the people like you that are loaded with crap.

[Ylviste]

@smokeshover Being good at singing and having natural talent doesn't make this song any less shittier.

[NobleTeamDJ]

Is that George Harrison in the crowd?! 0:34 middle right

[LBJTV]

@NobleTeamDJ no.

[utarian7]

see how hi missed his line? that's a good thing - he's not lip syncing like the modern pop tarts

[MrPieface009]

27 ninja's got roundhoused kicked by Chuck Norris

[Panfulove156]

aber schoenes lied

[Panfulove156]

schrott

[murdok620]

these guys look like they're tryin not to enjoy the track. damn pat boone fans

[murdok620]

0:58 lol he nearly fell backwards hahaha

[ninjanars]

ROFL @ the unimpressed and apathetic looks on these peoples faces. Their grandchildren probably like this song better than any albums from their grandparent's collection.

[musicianfromasia]

Pretty fucking boring crowd...

[MsDesiWezi]

no racism intended, but the whole audience is white..and whats with the clapping?? not to mention that some of the clapping is off beat lol

[1990osu]

Notice how he's actually singing and not lip synching the record.

[Zooroonies]

this song never gets old

[kevin652010]

If there are classics This is one! I was living in Singapore in the early 70's. I played baseball, half my schoolmates were jumping around in pajamas, pretending they were Bruce Lee. Never saw so many broken elbows! Nun-chucks were quite the fad, back then.

[dragonquest20]

[dragonquest20]

[agonizingmilk]

lol they have no rythem at all when they clap...

[herbyverstink]

I dont know how those old rnb guys were able to sing a song and not drop nigga every other word..or better still..talk about how badass they were.Will wonders never cease?

[pavanpavan]

That's gotta be the worst audience ever!

Carl was sent to the lion's den. He got lucky the lions had already been fed.

[kevin652010]

Gee, laughing horse dicksack, LoL is just cheese-ville, let's retire that.

[Laughinghorsephotos]

This brings back memories. If you remember hearing this on the radio then you are old. LOL.

[oleskool61]

@Laughinghorsephotos shit forget the radio we had it at the house, but those were good days for me and my siblings, (I was 12 when this came out).

[kevin652010]

That's my childhood song. Growing up in Singapore. Half the kids did Kung-Fu, the rest of us played baseball.

[naderchaser]

Actually, he sounds damn good here. Right on to Carl for making the best of what probably was a tough venue and crowd. Hey man....it was a paycheck....and Carl was a trooper. Joel in Tucson

[cherri1berry]

Poor Carl. This performance was the victem of audience zombies.

[MsBinho82]

tudo desafinado

aff

que desgraça

[mikeclaw]

Wow, an actual live performance, not lip-synched! A rarity from TV on this type of show.

[rodmx11]

good

[JUNOf4]

i love this song!

[janm08]

i love him  i his song

[deepxpress]

what a dumb studio audience..!!! get more into it...useless!!

[thefusherman]

@deepxpress These were different times when people were respectful.They were there to watch and enjoy the show, they didn't feel the need to try and be the biggest wanker in the audience trying to out do the singer that they were there to see.

[doglover2576]

This is not a goo singer at all rythem rythem rythem

[TheSk8R2000]

he´s not in rhythm (0:23-0:26)

[yournamehere654]

@TheSk8R2000

Oh how a about this trivia, He omitted the verse , "little Billy Chin and sammy Chung" @ 1:22

Apparently racist for the time. WOW.

[dirtydiana365]

not trying to be rude but he should have stayed on soul train because these white people have no soul no one even danced te suck

THIS SOW SUCKS PERIOD

[cathplyr]

[zeemersom]

[miniplus]

I can hardly believe this was 36 years ago. Great song.

[alihzah2000]

i like this song

[Auggie56]

In the evolution of man, the 70's had to be the lowest in history. I know, I was there. LoL

[DaMysteereusMon]

Carl Douglas is one of the few singers who sound as good live as in the studio, do you notice that? nowadays, EVERY STUPID ARTIST AUTO TUNES AND SUCKS LIVE. =*( what went wrong?

[AliceInChains13578]

@DaMysteereusMon you are so right...so right....

[katotheother]

Someone should open a club in Chinatown called Funky Billy Chen's. (Little Sammy Chong's could be the coffee shop next door.)

[AL52Dragon]

To continue my joke-

"Sir, sir! I think we found the leaders of this kung-fu fight club that was discovered several moths ago. The one run by those funky Chinamen from Funky Chinatown. According to an inside source, their names are a Mr. F. Billy Chin and L. Sammy Chung.' 'Alright, keep on, keep on. Yeah, yeh, yeh."

[cchhism]

Essa musica é muito boa, dificil não dançar, agora só pra quem é da velha né?

[Expertauthority]

The White audience probably didn't know what an asian was back then.

[MrAwesomeairy]

@Expertauthority yeah we did. some of us were not racists or idiots or just plan stupid we had schools and i grew up watching such wonderful shows as The Green Hornet it had some little asian guy name of Bruce Lee as a co star

[vladimir998]

@Expertauthority There's an Asian in the audience. See him within 3 seconds of the video starting.

[wisdaniel]

@Expertauthority This white boy doesn't know everything about "asian", but he knows that Carl Douglas was black, not asian.

[CarlosLokus]

ai nesse luga só tem branco veio krai q horrivel

[Hansibuwi]

super lied +5

[BrandonJay1983]

This was a horrible performance..

[RTT8001]

patrick, he's in the nursing home across the street from the mental institution you reside at asswipe.

[pivotoonproductions]

its Those cats were fast as lightning or Those kids were fast as lightning ?

[10blade3]

cats

even in the video when he first says it, he says cats

[2009Rondo]

kicks

[patrickbagdon]

I wonder if he still wears his Kung Fu suit at whatever nursing home he is at. You know you are a big star when they scroll the end credits over your face during your song.

[seikyoukainoakira]

the audience looks freaked out

[Ashtiger1687]

i bought this in 1974 when it was fist on the charts, it was on a 45rpm, then on variuos LPs.

[rokstar961]

[knoxvilleguy2]

[IwasBlackace]

[budbadbig]

[tusojosfadosol]

[tusojosfadosol]

70´s american people don´t know how to do claps, aren´t them? what´s the problem? They performed without music?

[iBaNezRG95]

And you can't speak English.

[CROMUSICJUDGE]

I love japan and china and ancient fighting skills

[perpermilon]

"Yes officer, they were kung-fu fighting"

"Did you see any faces?"

"No, those cats were as fast as lightning, but they had expert timing."

[Odenkay]

[Expertauthority]

Love that comment!~ @AL52Dragon

[MattJDesigns]

@AL52Dragon actually officer, it was a little bit frightening.

[The56taso]

@AL52Dragon is that from the song

[MaheiaRagin]

@AL52Dragon You funny. That's what you say no matter what the Po - Po pull you over for. Just start quoting the lyrics from this song and I promise you they will think you are crazy as hell:)

[massive4r7]

"kicking from the hip"? thats not kungfu thats karate

[BurnRoddy]

Its not karate either, its funky kung fu

[valeriobert]

[Entropiestromstaerke]
