I’m sitting here Saturday night watching NatGeo, and what comes on but a Heineken commercial, depicting a dreamlike bizarre nightclub, and the music is _Jaan Pehechan Ho_. (!) If you saw Ghost World you know the music. Yes, I’m one of those people who love that wacky music video. That is SO cool. There is hope for the world after all. . ---

However, there is no hope for you Treacherous Cretin - you’re Identity has been revealed. The Illuminati are on their way to the Inland Empire as we speak. Goofy commercial, but the song is pretty earwormy. ---

Come on now, you can’t start a thread about that song and not [include a link](http://youtu.be/FyEnG_DEB1I)! I referenced it in a [fairly recent thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=619835&highlight=%22Ghost+World%22) too. Love it! ---

I’m not gonna bother searching as I’m sure it hasn’t survived but ten years or so ago when _Ghost World_ was on HBO I posted here (one of my first posts) asking if anyone knew Hindi and could translate it. As I recall the lyrics were pretty lightweight… ---

That commercial made me decide that if I ever drink beer it will be Heineken, and the music is a big part of its appeal. ---

As I recall the lyrics were pretty lightweight… Here’s one of the rough translations I’ve found online. \*Jaan Pehechan Ho, Jeena Aasaan Ho, \*Let’s get to know each other It will make life easier \*Jaan Pehechan Ho, Jeena Aasaan Ho, Dil Ko Churane Walon, Aankh Na Churavo, Naam Tho Batavo… \* Oh you heart-stealer Don’t shy away Tell me your name \*Jaan Pehechan Ho… Dil Ko Churane Walon, Aankh Na Churavo, Naam Tho Batavo… Jaan Pehechan Ho, Jeena Aasaan Ho, Aaj Ki Yeh Shaam Javan, Yun Na Chali Jaaye, Aaj Ki Yeh Shaam Javan, Yun Na Chali Jaaye, \*The evening is young Don’t let it go to waste \*Phir Se Na Aayegi Yeh Kisi Ke Bulaaye Phir Se Na Aayegi Yeh Kisi Ke Bulaaye Phir Se Na Aayegi Yeh Kisi Ke Bulaaye \*We can’t bring it back again \*Jaan Pehechan Ho… Dil Ko Churane Walon, Aankh Na Churavo, Naam Tho Batavo.. Jaan Pehechan Ho, Jeena Aasaan Ho, Bolo Yeh Na Bolo Tum, Hogaye Ishaare, Bolo Yeh Na Bolo Tum, Hogaye Ishaare, \*Whether or not you admit it Hints have been dropped \*Sidi Sidi Chot Huve Dil Pe Hamaare Sidi Sidi Chot Huve Dil Pe Hamaare Sidi Sidi Chot Huve Dil Pe Hamaare \*Pain went straight to my heart \*Jaan Pehechan Ho… \* ---
