[Apparently, at one time some Indian group did a ‘cover’ of Michael Jackson’s _Thriller_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6BN0NA5lB8), by which I mean they remade the video Bollywood-style and didn’t copy any of the music. Then it got ‘subtitled’ by a bunch of English-speakers rendering the lyrics phonetically into random sound-alike English phrases. I’m not doing it justice. It’s hilarious and the music is strangely infectious. GIRLY MAN! ---

I think that its better without the ‘subtitles’ TBH. Its funny enough without the sledgehammer ofadded lyrics to tell you what to think, and anyway, the subtitles get in the way of the video. ---

I agree. I saw the video a while ago and liked it better sans subtitles. ---

The one titled “Crazy Indian video–Buffalaxed” is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. He nails the lyrics to this one. Much better than the Thiller vid. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA1NoOOoaNw) ---

Plus the starlet is soooo gorgeous. Plus the “I love to see you pee on us tonight” sounds like a Kate Bush sound byte from “The Dreaming.” Very cool. ---

> [@FarmerChick](#): > > LOL > > [May he Poop?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOgALTFzFbQ) Just FYI…the babe in the video is a former Miss World. And if you watch it on TV, she looks smokin hot. ---

As a guy who historically looooooves dark eyes and hair, combined with one of my customers being a home based freight brokerage owned by Indian immigrants I have seen and heard alot of Indian TV and music while there. I’m starting to think I should be looking at moving to India, or Central America. ---

I think of these as videos but most if not all are scenes from movies. I looked up the ‘I love to pee on you tonight’ and the woman is named Jayasheel. Lordy she is beautiful.
