Kung Fu Fighting

You know how some songs sometimes just gets 'stuck' on your mind?
Like it keeps playing over and over even to your sleep?

I had watched this show Kung Fu Panda last Friday night and somehow my brain seems to absorbing the "Kung Fu Fighting" theme song from the movie.
Since then,I kept hearing the song playing like a CD player in my mind!

On the Saturday noon,my house mate and I had an impromptu visit to a pet-shop in Penang town albeit the constant torment of the Kung Fu song in my head.
Little did I know I was to meet the masters itself(from the Kung Fu Panda show) who showed me the way to fight the enemy within.


Master Shifu in his all-knowing Mr-wise guy voice : "Know your enemy, before you can confront it"

Yes, of course!
And in order to do that, I need to know my enemy.
What it is like?Where it is originally from?
And naturally,the more details I know, the more I would understand the enemy.
The more I understand, the better my confidence is building up to defeat the song within!


I also had the chance to meet Master Ogway though he was no help in this matter.


Me : "Yo...any wise-crack words from ya?"
Ogway: *Silence**

I think he is dead

Anyhow,the story continues as I sat down on the Saturday night following the advice from the sleepy creature.

I Google the song out and eventually got the lyrics.
1 step closer to victory!

Next,I check out their music video on Youtube, which is pretty cool, I must comment.
And to finalize the battle's end, I even got the chords for all budding musicians out there who wants to jam this song!

Since then,once I got to know the "Kung Fu" song better, it has become a good friend to me.

Kung Fu Fighting Lyrics + chords (Carl Douglas)

-Intro-
D | Em
oh whoa...... | oh whoa......
D | Em
oh whoa...... | oh whoa......
D | Em
oh whoa...... | oh whoa......

-chorus-
N.C. | D
Everybody was | kung-fu fighting
| Em
those kicks were | fast as lighting
| D
in fact it was a | little bit frightening
| Em
but they fought | with expert timing

| D | Em
They were | funky china man, from | funky china town
| D | Em
They were | chopping men up, they were | chopping men down
| D | Em
It's an | ancient chinese art and every | body knew their part
| D | Em
From a | fainting to a slip and a | kicking from the hip


(Same chords as previous verse)
There was funky Billy Chen and little Sammy Chong
He said, here comes the big boss! (spoken -Where?) lets get it on
We took them all and made a stand, started swaying with the hands
Sudden motion made me skip, now were into a brand new trick

Nice song to jam :)
