Heres something special for all my viewers out there here in the 
UAE and the ones abroad at home and at their work places ^___^


The song “Kung Fu Fighting” only took ten minutes to record. 

In 1974, Indian-born producer Biddu needed someone to record the song “I Want to Give You My Everything,” so he contacted vocalist Carl Douglas. The single needed a quick and easy B-side, so Biddu composed a melody and Douglas provided some lyrics. The B-side was based on the martial arts craze that had been sweeping the nation. This fad was due to hits such as the David Carradine TV show Kung Fu and the film Enter the Dragon starring Bruce Lee. After cobbling together a quick recording, the record company insisted that “Kung Fu Fighting” be switched to the A-side of the single. This proved to be quite a shrewd decision - selling over 9 million copies, the song became a #1 single worldwide and made Carl Douglas an overnight sensation!
