CASH BOX Top 100 Singles – Week ending DECEMBER 14, 1974". Cash Box. Archived from the original on 3 October 2012. The song was originally meant to be a B-side to "I Want to Give You My Everything" (written by Brooklyn songwriter Larry Weiss and sung by Carl Douglas). [9] [10] Biddu originally hired Douglas to sing "I Want to Give You My Everything" but needed something to record for the B-side, and asked Douglas if he had any lyrics they could use. Douglas showed several, out of which Biddu chose the one that would later be called "Kung Fu Fighting" and worked out a melody for it without taking it too seriously. [3]

Retrieved 27 July 2019. After more than two hours recording the A-side and then time for a break, there was only ten minutes of studio time remaining [3] due to a three-hour time constraint for the entire session, so only two takes of "Kung Fu Fighting" were recorded. [6] According to Biddu, "'Kung Fu Fighting' was the B-side so I went over the top on the 'huhs' and the 'hahs' and the chopping sounds. It was a B-side: who was going to listen?" After hearing both songs, Robin Blanchflower of Pye Records insisted that "Kung Fu Fighting" be the A-side instead. [6]
