Happy Chinese new Year, everybody! It's the year of the tiger, so get down and celebrate, kung fu-style! Sing with me, chirren: "They were funky Chinamen/From funky Chinatown..."
Carl Douglas' 1974 international #1 hit single, "Kung Fu Fighting," the inexplicable popularity of which provides conclusive proof that everybody in the Seventies was stoned.
Fu Manchu: poster boy for "yellow peril" and a personal role model. Hey, if you're going to take over the world, at least have the decency to dress like a pimp and be as much of an arrogant asshole as possible.
The Chan Clan: defiantly proving that a pack of cartoon Chinese can rock just as blandly as Josie & The Pussycats or The Neptunes. And that Suzie Chan...Yowza!!!
Shang-Chi, master of kung fu and perhaps Marvel Comics' most proficient non-superpowered badass. All you Danny Rand boosters can leck mich im arsch (as Mozart so eloquently put it).
No love for Hong Kong Phooey?
ReplyDeleteNo love for Hong Kong Phooey. EVER.
ReplyDeleteGood God, the Chan Clan. Talk about a blast from the past, I'd forgotten all about them ... and remember, in the seventies those who weren't stoned were children!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Steve!
