Okay, this is funnier the more you watch it. The song, called “Tunak” for short, is performed in this video by Daler Mehndi of India. The music is fun and the video is light, fun, and kinda funny. But this YouTube version has a “transliteration” where somebody has taken the original Punjabi lyrics and treated them as English, showing them on the screen. The more you listen to the song, the more you’ll think these ARE the actual lyrics.

What’s also interesting is that his dance from this song was used in World of Warcraft for a particular race’s dance “emote.”

This could easily be the 2007 version of All Your Base Are Belong to Us!

And if you want to watch the original video, where the sound and video are clearer and better synced, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAN7Ts0xBo. It’s actually a lot of fun and I can see myself enjoying his music. This video is apparently the first music video coming out of India that used blue-screen technology. Visit his official website for more info.

Just make sure you watch the parody first. Then when you watch the original, you’ll laugh as you hear the words you THINK he’s saying! :-D
(You may need to turn up the volume. This parody has really low audio.)
