A kung fu fighter in a disco

I don't go to clubs (though I do like bars on occasion), don't own an ipod, don't remember having a single conversation or reading a single blog entry about "Paper Planes" in 2007 (at least in part because I avoided reading M.I.A. conversations in general, which I assumed would bore me.) Did think it was a standout album track on *Kala*, though. But again, not until 2008 did it strike me as anything like a single (even if it technically was one by the time 2007 ended -- which, if there was a promotional video, I'd say it probably was.)
