Barack Obama, Hindi filmi star

Barack OBollywood is a Hindi-film-style music video starring remixed footage of Barack Obama, cleverly cut so that he appears to be singing along. I dont know if the lyrics are political at all -- that would be extra credit, for sure. Link (via Neatorama)

The song is from the Bollywood / Hollywood attempt of getting Hindi movies popular in the western world film 'The Guru' ... as far as my hindi goes 'acha' means 'come'

Not to sound like a knowitall, but it isn't Barak, it's Barack. :D

The Clinton campaign wont admit responsibility for this.

Whoooooooa.

I know it's propaganda for something. Damned if I know what that is.

The words have absolutely nothing to do with Barack, politics or the United States. They seem to be just the lyrics of a Hindi film song smashed in there.

The words translate loosely as follows:

Come, come, come (the aaja aaja aaja bit)
Quietly quietly I will love the beautiful one
Quietly quietly matters of the heart we will discuss
When will she come, somebody please tell me
I have been searching for so long for her

No propaganda as far as I can tell. Just your standard Bollywood inanity. :-)

The song is "Choori Choori Gori Se" and it's the same version featured in the movie "THE GURU"--the youtube vid even features scenes featured in the film.

Love it! For some reason, my favorite part is the clown-type horn that honks with the colored elephants in the background. Loopy! :)

Akshay Kumar he ain't. And, at one point, he had the dreaded mouth eyes.
