Santana had an almost hit single called " Everybody's Everything", it's a good manual labor song it keeps you awake.
But Years ago, ( remember I'm over 100 yers old in Chess years). there was another song called "Karate" and the Santana song is an exact lift note by note , chord by chord , but i can't find anywhere "karate".
Please don't post a bunch of links with " karate" in the title that have nothing to do with this.

wow, i remember that santana song. here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wwfUEM3BWU. wish i knew of which karate song you were talking about.
