Bollywood classic
I've heard bits of this Hindi song here and there but never really gave it much thought. I just caught Inside Man (Clive Owen = sex) on HBO and this song was the opening song. It's the first time I've really listened to it closely. I don't understand a single word, but damn, it's such a GREAT song! (Apparently Spike Lee thought so too.)
I don't listen to Indian music in general (the language barrier might have something to do with it) but I thought this song is pretty awesome. I IMDB'd and Wiki'd it and found that the song is Chaiyya Chaiyya and it's from a 1998 Bollywood movie called Dil Se. The music video is really cool because it features people dancing atop a moving train. Wiki says 2 dancers died in the process of performing on the train. :(
Anyway, the male protaganist is Shah Rukh Khan, who is, of course, quite famous and quite hot. No idea who the female lead is but she looks really pretty.
