I found another viral video to add to the list of wackiness (Avon Lady, Little Superstar, Nike) we’ve been broadcasting from here at the bunker (thanks sleepy!). Let me present to you Tunak Tunak Jesus Jesus.
I don’t understand one word of the song, but I’m pretty sure that the the subtitles are not telling me what the song is saying.
Manish did a previous post with other earlier video remakes of the song. It has since caught like wildfire. We have of course the original version by Daler Mehndi, A Japanese game show version StarCraft Tunak Tunak, and even for Razib, a Tunak Tunak Brown. There’s even a Tunak Trailer. In fact, a search of Tunak on YouTube shows 321 videos. What is it about this song that can create this viral epidemic?
I think that it’s time for the Tunak Tunak Sepia Mutiny version to be created. I’ll get the monkeys in the bunker working right on it…
OK, I probably shouldn’t refer to the late great Alam Lohar as ‘this guy’.
Last comment…the songs are ‘Ek Pal Beh Jana’ and ‘Waajaan Maarian Bulaya Kae Vaar Main’
Word bro, will check them out
And here’s to Peace so we can get our yaari on with a fine lahori girl 😉
Amitabh,
That video really affected me. Seeing how similiar things are, the thing that really got to me was in the video on of the older men crossing his arms while listening to someone singing, just like you see people on our side do. hopefully peace will come, that video convinces me of how great a land we come from is. land of gurus, pirs and fakirs man. damn.
Sahej, yeah the video is great…I saw it for the first time yesterday myself, and I was just glad we had this thread going on so I could post about it. Looking at it makes me wonder what things were like 100 years ago when pretty much 100% of the region spoke Punjabi…unlike today where Urdu, Hindi, and increasingly English have made such major inroads and play such prominent roles. As for Lahore diyan sohniyan kudiyan…I don’t think they come any other way, dude.
