"Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas (1974)
Carl Douglas became most famous for his song "Kung Fu Fighting." The disco hit is also well-known for its use of an "East Asian riff," which is used by Western cultures as a stereotype or caricature of what they believe Asian music to sound like. The song was never meant to be a hit, but the dance clubs at the time picked it up and launched it to the top of the charts.
