FUN FACT: Daler Mehndi was often criticized that his music videos were only being popular due to the abundance of beautiful, dancing women in his videos. In 1998, he responded by creating this video that featured nobody but himself. This was probably the first Indian music video that used Green Screen VFX.

Still love how everyone told this guy “The only reason people like you is because you put hot women in your videos.” So he made this video with just himself and a green screen. It was a massive hit.

This song brings back memories! In high school, we had a vote for songs to play in the halls between classes. It was left to a group of Grade 12's to organize... We rigged it. Tunak Tunak Tun played the entirety of our Senior year, 6 times a day, every day. If only we had THIS version!
This song was one of the first truly viral memes on the Internet-well before we used words like "meme" or "viral" in that sense. Nice to revisit it over 20 years later!
If you're not aware, the hilarious reason Daler Mehndi is the only person in this music video is he had a reputation for having pretty young girls in his videos, with the accusation that the only reason he was popular was the T&A. His response was to make a video consisting entirely of many copies of himself -- and it became a smash international legend. The rest is history.
@@lepetitprince8953 Also way to go insulting someone who wants to embrace other culture rather than give words of encouragement. I love learning about the world, but I think I'll skip where ever you're from if everyone is as rude to strangers as you are.
This was the first video that I saw on TH-cam back in 2005. Couldn't imagine that almost 20 years later Andre would bring it back keeping the same meme spirit! Congratulations man!! Im a Big fan of your work!
It's been over a decade and I still listen to Daler regularly. This song slapped even before it was made metal. His Tunaking is some next level vocalism.
As a big system of a down fan, I haven't heard all that much music from India or the Middle East, I can seriously here the influences though. Armenian and Punjabi may be different but y'all can't deny this actually sounded similar to some embellishments, harmonies, melodies, and even a similar tone to how Serj sings. This is actually really good.
I totally thought the same with S.O.D. I could hear that also. Made me think of Serj. Glad I'm not the only one. I think this is one of the reasons I love his music so much!
Basically any part of the world that was ever remotely touched by Arabs or Turks is influenced by India, and has an instrument derived from the Armenian duduk
@@bacicinvatteneaca the question is: is the world touch by India, or is India touched by the arabs? But another HUGE musical influence are actually the Sinti and Roma, that are at this point believed to be Indian in origine, probably were traveling actors and musicians at that time (there is a whole etymology in the names and language they use that points to this heritage). And they preserved a lot of their traditional music influences from the time they left their continent of origine to this day and influenced the regions to which they travled with it.
The Counter Strike backgrounds killed me. Well done, sir. In Brazil this is known as "Tônico com Guaraná" and was one of the first virals here I can remember. Thanks for the trip in the memory lane and the laughs. Great stuff indeed.
You've outdone yourself: I loved every second of this metal wonder you've wrought. Absolutely OUTSTANDING reworking of those motifs, not to mention the visuals! Thanks, Andre!
the story of why this music video exists is just great. the artist NORMALLY does the stereotypical "hip hop video" thing of filling the music video with drop dead gorgeous scantily clad women dancing, and the artist was criticized by someone of note, who said the only reason he was successful was because he surrounds himself with sexy women. as a response, the artist made this video with no women and just cloned himself on bluescreen to prove a point(actually being the first indian music video to use the technology), and this song apparently was panned by music critics, but nevertheless sold like hotcakes and became one of the top indian pop tracks of 1998. now because of the internet, it's internationally known, and the dance choreography has been mo-capped into world of warcraft and medal of honor games. so yeah, this video was literally just Daler Mehndi being like "Sit down, little man, before i crush you with my wallet..."
Holy shit, I forgot about this song! We used to play the music video for this all the time back in my college dorm. Legendary combination of legitimately catchy music and *incredibly" goofy music video. The heavy metal accompaniment works way better than it had any right to, too.
jaja, pero cómo Andre encuentra a esos cantantes?! Es una locura la creatividad de este hombre. Súper pegadizo, mucha energía, y siempre con toques de humor. Un genio!
Para ser honestos, el original fue uno de los primeros videos virales que vi en internet antes del 2007. Pienso Andre es casi de mi edad así que probablemente lo vio entonces. O simplemente está muy metido con la música de esa región.
Daler Mehndi es un cantante de Bollywood famosísimo. En el vídeo de Tunak Tunak Tun (1998) troleaba a los que le decían que sus vídeos se basaban en sacar a mujeres atractivas, así que en este salió solo el, pero de esta forma tan hilarante. Fue un vídeo viral antes siquiera de que existiera TH-cam, incluso antes de que se inventara la propia palabra «viral»; no sé si yo me lo bajé de El Rellano o de eMule, pero madre mía qué risas con la gente en aquel momento. El año pasado lo trajeron a España para actuar y me lo perdí por los pelos, justo en el momento en el que me mudaba de vuelta tras años de emigración. 😢
Si, verdad! Creativo es, i genial en tocar sus instrumentos.... Perdona mi español, ya hace unos años, tengo que practicar mas....😬✌️ Muchos recuerdos de alemaña...
I’m glad you finally covered/expanded/evolved this song. Was not disappointed. Keep it going. The editing alone makes it. Love the drums and the rhythm of the guitar. The varying strumming styles used go so good together. Makes each part stand out
Absolutely incredible! SOAD, Rammstein, Muse… There is no end to your talent. Thankyou for sharing such amazing interpretations of different musical styles❤
This is glorious. I was in college from 1998-2002. Found this song on Napster back then and listened to the shit out of it. This was the early days of the internet, and I had no idea what the lyrics were about (white guy here). One of my favorite songs and music videos of all time.
man i havent heard this song since i lived with my parents and back then i called it the indian power ranger song due to how colourful they looked. still a banger of a song and ive always found indian music to be very enjoyable compared to my neighbours choice in 2023 which is just a man screaming to allah at 8 am hahaha.
