Which was probably exactly what they wanted: getting credit for a sly pop culture reference with the song without actually playing it. Well played, Dreamworks.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Doug M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-44932926162489397952008-11-18T13:22:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:22:00.000-05:00Wow.

(And I did this knowing full well I could probably YouTube it.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway... I hold that Ash's Kung Fu is better than the classic Carl Douglas Kung Fu Fighting. Instead of telling you about the Kung Fu movie, it's the expression of the fan who has taken it all too far and become wholly obsessive about it. The jumbling together of so many references is a brilliant reflection of the fan who loves a genre so much (s)he forgets the reality of everything about it.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770962699267672126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-69651711606500593252008-11-18T12:32:00.000-05:002008-11-18T12:32:00.000-05:00Remember how the video showed the Turtles receivin...Remember how the video showed the Turtles receiving medals from the mayor, end-of-Star-Wars style?
