Kung Fu Fighting

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Have you ever taken a martial arts class? no, but I've thought about it

2) In this song, Carl Edwards sings about funky Chinatown. Many cities – including San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Vancouver, London and Antwerp – have a Chinatown. Have you ever visited Chinatown? I've been to Boston's and London's

3) Many Chinese restaurants give out fortune cookies. Can you recall one of your fortunes? not off the top of my head but I have a few on my bulletin board at school

4) This week's featured artist, Carl Edwards, was born in Jamaica, spent his childhood in the US, and relocated to England. Have you ever lived abroad?  in 1987 I lived in Cork, Ireland, and attended University College Cork

5) In 1974 he became the first Jamaican to have a #1 hit in the US with this song. Have you been to Jamaica? yes

6) When this week's song was on the charts, ABC TV had a hit with the show Kung Fu. Today it's available to stream. Were you a fan? I do not recall the show, so I guess I wasn't a fan

7) Also in 1974, the FIFA World Cup was played in West Germany. Have you been following the FIFA World Cup this year? yes!  "No Scotland, no party!"

8) Two of 1974's most popular toys were popular with adults, too. Would you prefer a Rubik's Cube or a Magic 8 Ball? I have both at school, although the Magic 8 Ball is way more popular

9) Random question: Have you ever cut someone else's hair? yes
