I'm Just Sharing

Posted by Mitch on Apr 4, 2009

A friend of mine put this video up on Facebook. I have no idea what they’re saying or what the song is about, but it’s infectious and this guy, or guys (I’m not really sure) is having a great time. So, very short post, some quick fun, but if anyone can translate this for me I’d appreciate it; I don’t even know who this is. Actually, the most I watch, the more I’m starting to think it’s not Indian, but possibly Arabic, Saudi Arabia; I just don’t know. No matter; I think you’ll like it:

Update! Thanks to Khaled, I got some information on this song. It’s called Tunak Tunak Tun, and it’s by an Indian artist named Daler Mehndi. It’s also from 1998, so no wonder I can’t get a clearer copy of it. Also, I can’t find a translation anywhere, even though I did find lyrics. I’ve seen 3 different English lyrics, which is why I don’t trust any of them. So, I guess we’ll just enjoy the song and move forward.

Well, at least you made me feel better in getting the right country, or area of the world, confirmed. Yeah, the first bit, actually only about 20 seconds, is kind of an odd preamble, but once you get into the rest of it, man, it’s fun!

I greatly thank you, Khaled, for even the title of the song. My ears couldn’t even understand the first part of what he was saying for me to even think about looking it up, but once I did, it’s interesting just how much info there is about him and this song. I wonder how I missed it when it was released; oh well,…
