Celebrating the Disco Hit "Kung Fu Fighting"

Posted

T-shirt with a graphic of a man dancing at a disco nightclub with the text below the graphic reading "Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting"

In 1974, Carl Douglas released his smash disco-era hit "Kung Fu Fighting". 

The first 3 lines of the song go:

Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening

Inspired by the nostalgia of this song for someone of the disco-era like me 😂😂😂 I came up with some fun images for T-shirts and a range of other merchandise that I hope you will enjoy. 

You can find all the "Kung Fu Fighting" themed artworks in my Kung Fu Fighting Collection at my Redbubble store. I hope you find something fun and feel prompted to buy something to set off some laughter with your friends and bring back a flood of warm memories of the disco era.

The fly in the ointment, Opito Bay, around 2007. This post was originally published in November, 2007. Almost two decades on, the photograph and the argument both feel — if anything — more relevant than they did then. I have updated this post lightly in May, 2026, some 19 years later! The Photograph I was on holiday in Opito Bay on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula, sitting on the couch in the place we were staying at.

A fly landed on the iPod's click wheel and stayed there. I reached for my camera, took the shot, and edited it later in Photoshop to give it the grungy, oversaturated look you see above. The fly on the iPod along with "The Real Digital Divide" struck me — immediately, and with a kind of emb...

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers

Posted
Anza Borrego Desert State Park California Wildflowers This cluster of wildflowers is typical of the flowers in Plum Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert this spring. Because of the dry and harsh environment, most of the flowers are tiny like the three in this photo. But what they lack in size, they make up for in color. It's pretty difficult to try and identify all these flowers, but I'm pretty sure the white one is Desert Pincushion. Help out if you can. I've been using the CalFlora.org website to try and identify the flowers in this series.
