Day 26: Memes


I hate to do a topic like this, but there's been an increase in Indian music in internet memes lately, so I might as well cover it. I promise I'll return to more normal music tomorrow.

Tamil:
Kalloori Vaanil - Pennin Manathai Thottu. Also known as Benny Lava. For those not familiar, someone took this Tamil song and subtitled it. But instead of translating it, they simply wrote the words they thought it was saying in English. Obviously ended hilariously; there are now several Benny Lava merchandise, including t-shirts that you can buy.

Punjabi:
Tunak Tunak Tun - Daler Mehndi. Absurd subtitler ("Buffalax") strikes again.

Telugu:
1) Gola Gola - Ashok --> Indian Nyan Cat.
First watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFaQyucfnc4  Relatively impressive Telugu music video.
Then watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4  Lord help us all.
Then finally, the demon child of the two:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wdw64aHYXA
It's frightening how well the dance moves work.

2) Golimaar - Donga. Also known as Indian Thriller. Self-explanatory.

Now that that's over with, I'll post some meaningful songs tomorrow.
