Retrieved 30 May 2011. After more than two hours recording the A-side and then time for a break, there was only ten minutes of studio time remaining [3] due to a three-hour time constraint for the entire session, so only two takes of "Kung Fu Fighting" were recorded. [6] According to Biddu, "'Kung Fu Fighting' was the B-side so I went over the top on the 'huhs' and the 'hahs' and the chopping sounds. It was a B-side: who was going to listen?" After hearing both songs, Robin Blanchflower of Pye Records insisted that "Kung Fu Fighting" be the A-side instead. [6]
