This is a classic - a ‘bollywood’ Indian music video, with subtitles by someone who translates as if they are speaking english. I know it sounds crazy, but trust me. [Watch the video.](http://www.break.com/index/absolutely-hilarious-indian-music-video.html) ---

So _that’s_ what George Micheal’s been up to! Why does he always surround himself with hot chicks? I mean, it’s not like _they_ do anything for him. Oh, wait a minute! Now I know what he’s up to! He’s trying to get guys hot and bothered, so they’ll associate being horny with seeing him and then they’ll have teh gay! :eek: ---

That video made the rounds of several other forums I visit about a year ago. This one was also quite popular: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9qvCTdBLDs) Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi.

Well, I’m here, but it’s not Hindi, so I have no idea what they’re saying. It sounds like Tamil or Telegu, so you need a South Indian person. Sorry. Here’s one you might like better: [Aishwarya Rai](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jUBEBbhowE) ---

Taking foreign lyrics and interpreting them as if they were English words is nothing new- they are popular subjects for [Animutaions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animutation) and [YTMNDs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YTMND). One of my personal favorites is the Finnish theme from _DuckTales_, which includes the lyric, “What’s the problem, Taco Nazi? You know you can always count on Lassie.” ---

I laughed really hard. Also, **Troy** I was dismayed when the author of that video did not go with the easy “drop a whore” line, instead opting for “drop a hole.” Then he hit it in the second chorus. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-funniest-video-ive-seen-in-a-while/425891.md?page=2)
