40 Year Itch : A Hamburger and a Hand Job




  11 million people bought the 1974 Carl Douglas single "Kung Fu Fighting", making it one of the best selling singles of all time. On January 8, 1975 the disco tune was #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart.  But not everybody was a fan.
     On their 1975 comedy album Illegal, Immoral and Fattening, former Turtles turned nationally syndicated radio hosts, Mark "Flo" Volman and Howard "Eddie" Kaylan", riff on the song ( "Boy that song really sucks!") as well as on The Doors epic "The End" and on Jack in the Box. A time capsule gem! See a live performance below beginning at the 3:51 mark.
