Story about this misheard lyric by: Dan Fletcher I thought for years this was the lyrics to the song. Even got a few laughs at Karaoke, but never really paid attention to it. One day while working at an oldies station, I said to a friend of mine that also worked there why we are allowed to play the 'uncensored version'. He looked at me like I was an idiot. (Well actually I am but that's another story.) Finally, almost 30 years later, I see this song in a commercial for some TV insurance company (GEICO) where some lizard was singing this song, and I hapened to have on the closed captions. |

Everybody got struck by lightning
That was quite so exciting
Not very much as frightening
Everybody started crying
That was quite so exciting
Not very much as frightening
Everybody started crying

Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing

Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Kung Fu Fighting"
Opening Lines: Oooo - Oooo - Oooo, Oooo - Oooo - Oooo, Oooo - Oooo - Oooo, everybody was Kung Fu Fighting.
Comments: The #1 hit from December 1974, "Kung Fu Fighting" started a huge mini-craze, that would be seen during much of 1975, of taking martial arts moves onto the Disco dance floor. And it was started by Jamiacan born Carl Douglas (born 1942) and his song "Kung Fu Fighting". Carl Douglas currently lives in Germany and runs a publishing company.
