A to Z Blogging Challenge 2011: T

Composed by Cat
*The following is part of the A to Z Blogging Challenge 2011*



Tunak Tunak Tun is a love song, of all things, performed by Indian artist Daler Mehndi using blue screen and superimposing himself along with, well, himself, over several famous backdrops. It's as cheesy as they come but it was a hit in 1998 and has a way of getting stuck in your head. 


Betcha you'll have this one stuck in your head for a while. 

In case you're wondering what he's getting jiggy about, here's a translation:

refrain: (5x)
Tunk tunk Tun
Tunk tunk Tun
Tunk tunk Tun
Da Da Da

Sweetheart, the strings of the instrument play
listen to what the heart says
Come and love me
(4x)
Sweetheart...

refrain2:
refrain (4x)
The world is a colorful place
it's not good nor bad
(4x)
Listen friends the iktaara(1) says
Mehndi's friends
refrain (4x)

Sweetheart, come smile with me sometimes
My heart's keeper (lover) look
This body is not under your or my control
(4x)
Sweetheart...

refrain2

Sweetheart, you are moon and I am Chakor(2)
there no one like us
Our threads of life is in the hands of god
(4x)
Sweetheart

refrain2

(1) iktaara=Musical instrument with one string
(2) Chakor=A mythical birth that supposed to look at the moon continuously
