Reception

In 2019, Tyler Jenke from The Brag ranked Regurgitator's best songs, with "Kong Foo Sing" coming it at number 2. Jenke said "An ode to the fortune cookie, 'Kong Foo Sing' managed to see Regurgitator become something of a household name in the world of alt-rock. Pairing catchy lyrics, samples from kung-fu films, and a crushing rhythm section, there was no doubting that this one would go on to become one of their most successful moments."^[3] Andrew Stafford, in Pig City, called it "monstrous funk-metal, Lee's drums miked to sound more like garbage pails".^[4]
