Bus Stop Featuring Carl Douglas 'Kung Fu Fighting'

Chart Peak: 8

YouTube

A partner of sorts to the previous track (although unless I'm greatly mistaken they'd be on different sides of the cassette version) this too ploughs the furrow established by the likes of N-Trance and Clock but ups the ante by calling back the original star. In this case, I believe the vocals of Carl Douglas are sampled from the original 1974 hit, but he was still involved in the promotion of the single: you can see him in the video, and he even turned out for TotP. You might also recognise his partner in crime as future Eurovision entrant Daz Sampson, enjoying the first of his many hits in various guises. Naturally, all this is so daft it's difficult to dislike, especially amid some of the stuff here, but you do have to wonder who didn't think 'Kung Fu Fighting' was stupid enough already.

Available on: Line Dance Fever Vol.8 (a nice added touch of late-ninetiesness there!)
