From time to time one of our readers will ask, “Why don’t you guys post more Bollywood music videos?” In fact, if we had a nickel for every time that question comes up, we’d have… well, let’s just say we’d have significantly more money than this blog is currently making, and leave it at that. At any rate, for those who appreciate the song and dance artistry of Bollywood, here’s The Nipple Song. The lyrics are a little difficult for English speakers to follow, but the subtitles should make everything clear.

Can’t. Breath. Must. Stop. Laughing. Feel like a. Little. Foreign Masn saying, running. AAAAIEEEEEEE!
… you know, I thought that the lyrics were pretty much spot-on…… especially during the bridge…….
… and the feet splashing in the Ganges was quite a nice touch……
… hey, what?….
Why is it that the Indian language(?) seems to have the most “english-sounding” words? None of the other languages seem to have so many.
It would be interesting if someone would take a popular english song, do a “Bollywood” to it TO ANOTHER LANGUAGE, and then translate the Bollywood wording into english so we english-speakers can see how gibberish-y it is.
Yeah, very amusing, OK.
So, I’m watching them in the first part, where they’re on a beautiful skyscraper, and I think, man, some day I want to go to India and see that beautiful skyscraper. I also note the gray yet cloudless sky — an artifact of the notoriously torrid Indian climate.
So, later on they’re writhing around in a fountain, and I think, hey, wait a damn minute: that’s here! And, yes, it’s Tranquility Park. And the beautiful skyscraper soaring into the exotic Indian sky? The Niels Esperson Building.
Dayam.
Anyhow, I guess the story of the dance is that even the hot-eyed heroine and her dozen dancing sisters cannot turn Orbison Belushi Goldblum straight.
What are Indians doing in Houston? We really must get this border security thing straightened out.
This is easily the funniest music video since the one where Christopher Walken dances around the Marriott in downtown LA.
Wow, Angie. My reaction was similar: Ah yes, India, fascinating blend of the ancient and modern…. And you’re telling me that’s Houston?! If you’re shooting a Bollywood film, how do you keep production costs down by making a 10,000-mile detour to Texas?
I looked for an actual translation of the lyrics for the song, but they give no indication of why the video would be shot in Texas. (They do not, in case you were wondering, mention nipples or hookers or anything else, either.)

Well, it’s not as if there aren’t any Indians here, as our monthly Wal-Mart trip always reminds us. And the Bollywood Cinema 6 is nearby, along with some good restaurants.
There’s a good-sized Indian contingent here in Utah as well. I used to work at an art-house movie theatre that showed Bollywood films once a month, and we always did sellout business. I mentioned this to a friend, and he said, “So I guess you’re now selling samosas along with the popcorn?” As a matter of fact, we were.
