what does the gong mean in the gong show
The Gong Show Each show presented a contest between amateur performers of often dubious talent, with a panel of three celebrity judges. The program's regular judges included Jaye P. Morgan, Jamie Farr, Arte Johnson, Patty Andrews, Anson Williams, Steve Garvey, Rex Reed, and Rip Taylor. If any judge considered an act to be particularly bad, he or she could force it to stop by striking a large gong, a trope adapted from the durable radio show Major Bowes Amateur Hour. Most of the performers took the gong with sheepish good grace, but there were exceptions. Barris would then ask the judge(s) in question why they gonged the act.
Kung Fu Fighting "Kung Fu Fighting" is a disco song by Carl Douglas, with production by Biddu.[3] It was released as a single in 1974 on the cusp of a chopsocky film craze and rose to the top of the British, Australian and American charts, in addition to reaching the top of the Soul Singles chart.[4] It received a Gold certification from the RIAA in 1974[5] and popularized disco music.[6] It eventually went on to sell eleven million records worldwide,[2][6] making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. The song uses the quintessential Oriental riff, a short musical phrase that is used to signify Chinese culture.
