Everybody was kung-fu fighting

In 75/76 sotul meu a fost in USA timp de 6 luni. Cand s-a intors a adus, printre altele, o caseta cu Kung Fu Fighting. Ne-a placut enorm si am ascultat-o de multe ori. In 1977, dupa cutremur, in curtea unde se afla laboratorul s-au mutat si alte sectii ale intreprinderii si, pt ca programul meu era decalat cu o ora fata de al celorlalti, ca sa imi pot duce copiii la scoala si gradinita, am participat la o gramada de petreceri organizate cu ocazia aniversrilor zilelor de nastere ale colegelor si colegilor. Pentru ca se si dansa am adus cateva casete la serviciu, printre care si asta. Din nefericire la un moment dat caseta a disparut. Va dati seama cat de rau ne-a parut.  Abia acum mi-a venit ideea sa caut cantecul pe you tube, cand am primit link pentru o poza foarte interesanta


Poza mi-a amintit de cantec, l-am cautat si l-am gasit, cea mai interesanta versiune mi se pare asta

Bineinteles ca am cautat si versurile, cu care ocazie am aflat ca pe interpret il cheama Carl Douglas:

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

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

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

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

(repeat)..make sure you have expert timing
Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning

 Daca puteti sta pe scaun in timp ce ascultati cantecul cred ca aveti o problema.
