Musical Kata

[Aefibird]

In a few month's my dojo is hosting a special 'MA get-together' for all the clubs in the local area. It's open to all MA styles, as long as their club is based in the Rotherham and Barnsley area.

We're having some guest instructors over for the weekend and each club that is taking part is putting on a small demo.

As well as the regular kata-and-application demo we (my club) were thinking (for a bit of fun) to do a musical team kata (ie make up a 'kata' and stick it to music).

We usually avoid stuff like that like the plague (it's a bit, well, naff) but we were thinking of doing a musical kata for a bit of a laugh. There's gonna be 5 of us (all adults, one of which is Sensei) in the group and we were wanting to deliberately make it a spoof.

We'd thought of using the song "Timewarp" and all getting dressed up (fishnets and the like) but Sensei isn't too happy about the dessing up part, the big wuss!

So... anyone got any ideas for other songs we could use. The sillier the better, as long as we can do 'karate' to it. I use the term 'karate' loosely, as this will be a definate spoof - a total opposite to our usual street-style and brutal applications.

Also, if anyone has ever performed musical kata before, then can you give us some tips!!

Thanks.

Please don't use "Kung fu Fighting", or "Eye of the Tiger".

Please.

We weren't going to! We want it to be a spoof, but that is taking it waaaay too far...
