Simon Ledger was singing at the Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown, Isle of Wight, on Sunday when he launched into the disco classic, The Isle of Wight Gazette reported.
A Chinese mother and son were reportedly walking past at the same time and took offense.
"I don't even know who the pair are," Ledger said.
"It is all quite amazing how an evening of performing on the beach can end you up in a (prison) cell.
"The police phoned me when I was in a Chinese restaurant that night. They arranged to meet me and I was arrested.
"I thought it was a joke but they were serious. They seemed pretty amazed but said the law is the law and it was their duty. It's political correctness gone potty (mad).
