With A. R. Rahman“s recent Golden Globe win for Slumdog Millionaire’s score , I was going to write a post about how far the music of Bollywood has come from Oye Oye and Pretty Woman Dekho Dekho Na.” Guess that won’t happen now.
Then again, Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu … Hello Mister How Do You Do? is considered a classic of Hindi cinema music.
Great. Now I’m going to have Mera Naam in my head all afternoon. Maybe I can get it out of my head… by singing Ina Mina Dika?
Reminds me of old jitterbug scenes in bad movies.
Don’t worry, American music theater hasn’t gone anywhere either.
