Here's proof that the world has gone completely bananas!
A 34 year old pub singer, Simon Ledger, was arrested, Sunday, in Sandown, Isle of Wight, after singing "Kung Fu Fighting." A pair of Chinese tourists took offense to the song and called police. Ledger was arrested that night at (and I'm not kidding) a Chinese restaurant.
The song was a huge hit for Carl Douglas in 1974. I remember playing it a billion times on the American Forces Radio Network, Europe!
Now, suddenly, a guy can't sing the song at a beach resort? If convicted, he'll have a criminal record for racially-aggravated harassment!
Tip of the hat to friend, Chip Ramsey, who pointed out this story in The Sun.
