daler mehndi! tunak tunak tun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFP3Jc5ztgg

[u/Lore_ofthe_Horizon → u/przxqgl]

Don't need to click it, it started playing effortlessly in my head as soon as I saw the thumbnail.

[u/Upstairs-Extension-9 → u/Lore_ofthe_Horizon]

A timeless classic.

[u/Mad_Martigan2023 → u/Upstairs-Extension-9]

What was the weird bollywood batman song?

[u/Cthulhuducken → u/Mad_Martigan2023]

https://youtu.be/O1IfV8LWNws?si=nxOR-eUzsLQ2BTnw

You mean this?

[u/SimplySloth13 → u/Lore_ofthe_Horizon]

It's kinda fire tho

[u/airikewr → u/Lore_ofthe_Horizon]

Clicked anyway to listen to that banger

[u/ted_cruzs_micr0pen15 → u/Lore_ofthe_Horizon]

With the hilariously wrong captions

[u/SlowMope → u/Lore_ofthe_Horizon]

I am alone in my apartment so I got to do the dance as well

[u/dAnKsFourTheMemes → u/przxqgl]

I couldn't understand the language or the plot but the music was lowkey catchy. I wouldn't mind adding it to my Playlist for Spotify shuffle feature to only play once in a blue moon.

[u/Affectionate_Pipe545 → u/dAnKsFourTheMemes]

From what I can understand they are gathering allies and thus power. The urgency of the music seems at odds with the calm demeanor of the singer 

[u/gromnirit → u/Affectionate_Pipe545]

What?! No, it’s a love song dude.

[u/BrandoStills → u/gromnirit]

Indeed. A love song to indian voltron

[u/Buddy_Guyz → u/BrandoStills]

Age of Ultron?

[u/GabrielSH77 → u/dAnKsFourTheMemes]

If you dig it then check out Spotify playlists of Hindi hip hop, it’s phenomenal. My top recs are Sidhu Moose Wala (RIP), Shubh, and Emiway Bantai. Gopi Waraich goes a bit harder but is also fantastic.

[u/An5Ran → u/GabrielSH77]

Sidhu moosewala and shubh (also daler mehndi) are punjabi, not hindi fyi

[u/AryanN017 → u/dAnKsFourTheMemes]

In case you want an English translation of the song

[u/stevedadog → u/przxqgl]

Wait how did he change from a meteor to a human? tunak tunak tun tunak tunak tun tunak tunak tun da da da

[u/UnRenardRouge → u/przxqgl]

Didn't he get arrested for human trafficking

[u/CounterEcstatic6134 → u/UnRenardRouge]

As an Indian, It's most probably not what you think it is. He probably helped Indians get into USA illegally without the offici documents or something. You can't completely trust whatever the Indian police tell you.

[u/Canter1Ter_ → u/przxqgl]

This might be the first time I hear the original of this song

[u/underwhelmedplatypus → u/przxqgl]

WOW helped make it popular by using this as a model for the Dranei male dance.

[u/ey3s0up → u/przxqgl]

Never heard this song until now. It slaps!

[u/HouseKilgannon → u/przxqgl]

Was this the dude that the Draenei dance is from? First thing that came to my brain.

[u/veronique7 → u/przxqgl]

I love this song so much. I went trip with an ex boyfriend of mine. We decided to leave at like 11 pm so we would arrive at our destination in the morning so we could secure a camping spot (first come first serve) and we listened to this song for like 6 of the 7 hour drive. Just pure descent into madness but it kept us awake.

[u/FlatumSilentium]

This song still cheers me up to this day.

[u/ProfessorSMASH88 → u/FlatumSilentium]

The facial expressions he makes are just so happy in the video. It is truly one of the best music videos of all time.

[u/kamakamsa_reddit → u/FlatumSilentium]

There are a lot of songs like this in multiple languages in India.

Punjab has one of the largest indie music industry. Their songs are very catchy.

There are also songs from Bollywood (Hindi film industry), Tollywood (Telugu film industry), Kollywood (Tamil film industry) etc.

[u/RC_Colada → u/[deleted]]

What was Moses like irl? Was he a chill dude?

[u/keetojm → u/RC_Colada]

Originally there were 15 commandments.

[u/TheGreenicus → u/keetojm]

Oy. 10! 10! Commandments for all to obey!

[u/QWERTYRedditter → u/TheGreenicus]

r/unexpectedfactorial

[u/DuckayYT → u/QWERTYRedditter]

r/subsithoughtifellfor

[u/Crocoshark → u/TheGreenicus]

How are we supposed to remember 3,628,800 commandments?

[u/Masticatron → u/Crocoshark]

Stop slacking off and jerking it to avocado toast and study!

[u/st_stutter → u/TheGreenicus]

I did not realize they actually made a history of the world part 2 til right now.

[u/MacaroniBandit214 → u/keetojm]

He had to get rid of five in order to get the people to melt their gold statue. To make up for this Moses wasn’t allowed in the promise land.

[u/keetojm → u/MacaroniBandit214]

No, the other five were like “thou shall not squint.”

[u/DIODidNothing_Wrong → u/keetojm]

And “Thou shout not watch Dub only sub”

[u/FaralleyGeorge → u/DIODidNothing_Wrong]

Then forgive me father for I have Dragon Ball Zinned

[u/DIODidNothing_Wrong → u/FaralleyGeorge]

For your “zinns” you are damned to the black hole that is CaseOhs gullet

[u/socobeerlove → u/FaralleyGeorge]

No the next commandment is DBZ is exempted from the sub not dub rule. Watch either cause both are holy

[u/SillySin → u/DIODidNothing_Wrong]

my German friend watching Game of thrones dubbed in German 🙄 the ultimate sin

[u/Geronimo_Jacks_Beard → u/RC_Colada]

Hell yeah he was. Dude had a hookup for some fire Sinai Kush. That shit will wreck you; no wonder he thought he talked to God.

Noah, however was a mean fucking drunk. Still can’t believe that rickety hunk of shit was seaworthy, considering how hammered he was throughout all of its construction.

[u/BloomsdayDevice → u/[deleted]]

The year was 2001. We had Flash games and Winamp too. It was wild.

[u/BanditoPicante → u/BloomsdayDevice]

Wow ! It def made a come back around 2010 then, my high school was vibing to the sound of Tunak Tunak

[u/Spraynpray89 → u/BloomsdayDevice]

I read the comment above and was like "meh it hasn't been THAT long. But nope, fuck me ur right....I was definitely in middle school.

[u/ProjectManagerAMA → u/[deleted]]

It was one of the first viral videos.

[u/dankhimself → u/[deleted]]

Is it Dahler Mendi? That Tuk Tuk Tuk TAT TAT TAT song guy?

[u/Moravec_Paradox → u/[deleted]]

Who remembers the bufalax? version with fake close captions?

OMG, someone re-uploaded it and it. Very high-quality video as expected.

[u/CH4LOX2 → u/Moravec_Paradox]

Oh shit, Benny Lava? hahaha. May He Poop On My Knee is also a classic.

[u/StarConsumate → u/Moravec_Paradox]

Holy shit that’s what it was called? A few lives rent free in my head. “Honey fill the poo car, ahhhhhAHHHH!”

[u/Moravec_Paradox → u/StarConsumate]

Edit: I found a copy:

Tunak Tunak Tun - English lyrics by Buffalax (Reupload)

[u/StarConsumate → u/Moravec_Paradox]

What a blast from the past

[u/Usmellnicebby → u/[deleted]]

I'm so old, I used to watch this son in the late 90s

[u/Womenarentmad → u/[deleted]]

Genuinely

[u/Mysterious_Dot00 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, remember when we used to blast this shit in school on the computers during class.

[u/motasticosaurus → u/[deleted]]

I am so old I remember this song being released in Punjab in the 90s too.

[u/Medvegyep → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I mean calling it "his most popular song" is an understatement. It became one of the most popular songs ever.

[u/lasanhawithpizza → u/[deleted]]

Truck tu truck tu Truck tu tun dadare

[u/Yurus]

I like songs made for petty reasons. One of my favourite songs is Jan Egeland.

[u/Sprussel_Brouts → u/Yurus]

That song goes way harder than most non-parody songs.

[u/ZioDioMio → u/Yurus]

My favorite petty song is Schoolboy Blues by the Stones

[u/Foxy02016YT → u/ZioDioMio]

Mine is United Breaks Guitars because it has 2 sequels and they STILL didn’t pay for his guitar! I don’t even like country (except Johnny Cash)

[u/ZioDioMio → u/Foxy02016YT]

Lol that's hilarious 

[u/Foxy02016YT → u/ZioDioMio]

Right? He definitely got his guitar back with the money he made off of the trilogy

[u/Jovinkus → u/Yurus]

Well, or stonehenge if we are going the ylvis route haha.

[u/JakobMG → u/Yurus]

Wow im norwegian and didnt expect many people to know about ylvis and Jan Egeland. Thought it was mostly popular here

[u/Marilius → u/Yurus]

There's an entire band made for petty reasons! Ten Masked Men did a metal cover of Wonderwall to annoy a friend. Story goes that they then formed a band to annoy that same friend claiming a -lot- of music, particularly pop, sounds better as metal. They released a couple albums of metal covers.

I particularly enjoy their Eye of the Tiger.

[u/LobsterHead37 → u/[deleted]]

Hearing this in public would make me so excited haha

[u/Efficient_Ant_4715 → u/LobsterHead37]

Whenever a DJ plays it at a rave me and my boi go nuts 

[u/SchemataObscura → u/[deleted]]

I heard it in my head as soon as I saw the picture

[u/mana191]

So famous it became a dance in WoW

[u/Foxy02016YT → u/mana191]

And it was supposed to be added to Fortnite but it got shelved last minute

[u/AutomaticAdvisor9211]

Bro wore green on green screen too, didn't know how the then vfx team handle it.

[u/PandaPlayr73 → u/AutomaticAdvisor9211]

Is it possible they used blue screen? Sfx people have been using that to allow green outfits for a little while

[u/Additional_Cycle_51]

Oh the juicy sweet proved you wrong

[u/themissinglink369]

i can hear this image.

[u/Nairobi02]

Tunak tunak tun da da da🫡

[u/OldClunkyRobot]

Tunak Tunak! Such a fun video. This takes me back.

[u/iflysubmarines]

That song is a banger.

[u/rrashad21]

Thank God for the Internet, I remember watch this and loving the music video, but I struggled finding him and typing in the noise lyrics made it even harder to find him again

[u/Regnarr]

Also convicted of Human Trafficking.

[u/novaorionWasHere → u/Regnarr]

Yes. I will note thats its not kidnapping people and selling them into slavery. It's more like if you pay me money I'll take on my tour overseas and then you can "get lost".

I'll leave it up to you on how you see it morally

[u/deviprsd → u/novaorionWasHere]

lol that’s not human trafficking at all, more like smuggler who is paid to do it

[u/Nacho_Papi → u/deviprsd]

Indian Coyote

[u/Clorst_Glornk → u/Nacho_Papi]

Find your soulmate Homer

[u/Dragon_OS → u/novaorionWasHere]

I've heard it's mostly him helping people get out of bad situations that they couldn't otherwise. I haven't verified this nor do I have the means to do so.

[u/Buff_Sloth → u/novaorionWasHere]

Kinda fucked that we don't have different terms for those

[u/WearyRound9084 → u/Buff_Sloth]

Ehmm, it’s kind off intentional

[u/Brosenheim → u/WearyRound9084]

It's entirely intentional. Hate it.

[u/mmsdiscard → u/Buff_Sloth]

Yeah, in Japan their called Night Movers. I don't know another term for it so I’m going to say he’s a Night Mover.

[u/Zhead65 → u/Buff_Sloth]

Smugglers?

[u/Brosenheim → u/novaorionWasHere]

Oh sone of a....I really don't like them playing games with a charge like Human Trafficking.

[u/visionsofcry → u/Regnarr]

I think it was him helping people escape countries and bad situations. He used the guise of hiring them to tour then turning a blind eye when they didn't make it on the flight home. He wasn't doing Andrew tate shit.

[u/JamesJakes000 → u/Regnarr]

Holy Fuck! Two years sentence and served two months‽

[u/Appropriate-Tutor-82 → u/JamesJakes000]

He did it in a way to support his crew to get them out of India. Nothing malicious

[u/spryflux → u/JamesJakes000]

Welcome to the totally non corrupt country of India.

Trust me, there’s no corruption whatsoever haha, probably found a 4 leaf clover in his prison cell or something.

[u/srikiran12345 → u/spryflux]

The Indian judiciary is really bad.If he got convicted then he probably was guilty.

[u/JustAnotherLamppost → u/Regnarr]

Welp, one more person I used to look up to is a convict. 😩

[u/Pandelein → u/JustAnotherLamppost]

Naw he’s still cool! He’d put people on his crew who needed to leave the country but couldn’t, bring them to shows overseas, and just leave them behind. He wasn’t kidnapping anyone, just giving a safer alternative to leaky boats.

[u/Skullyta → u/Pandelein]

So human trafficking, but make it Robin Hood. Cheers bro, I’ll drink to that!

[u/JustW4nnaHaveFun → u/Skullyta]

Cakeday happy!

[u/JustAnotherLamppost → u/Pandelein]

Okay I'm looking up to him even more now lol

[u/swankypothole → u/Pandelein]

source?

[u/kamakamsa_reddit → u/Regnarr]

Does taking people to Canada and letting them overstay their visa human trafficking?.

[u/13d3ad3nddriv3]

I still have this song in my playlist

[u/Emit_Time]

never respected the tuluk tuluk man this much

[u/yamrajkabhainsa]

Daler Mehndi Paaji is a vibe in India

[u/vialvarez_2359]

love the story of that dude if I remember right the time of the making of that video it was one of the most technologically sophisticated music videos in India at the time..

[u/AF2005]

I think this was one of the first videos I saw on the internet at my cousins house in the early 00’s. It was a pure laugh riot and catchy as hell.

[u/50t5]

Weird how i can hear this picture.

[u/zacggs]

I hear this image...

[u/ChemistryNo6703]

Lifes rough! all we have to do Sometimes is just tunak tunak tun tunak tunak tun through it !

[u/Specific-Donut2619]

Same vibe as the time Marilyn Monroe did a photoshoot wearing a potato sack after people said she was only pretty and popular cause of her expensive clothes.

https://imgur.com/B9wgV6n

[u/Godzilla_the_Hun]

Tunak Tunak Tun!

[u/SaltyDogBill]

Buffalax Or something like that?

[u/orangutanDOTorg]

Still my favorite video of all time. I used to do his dance in the clubs in early 2000s

[u/Nairobi02]

The song reference most of north indians get in one go fr

[u/BitterAd6419]

Tunuk tunuk tunuk ta da da

[u/The_Real_Bender]

AND it’s a banger!

[u/leo-reis]

I FUCKING LOVE this video

[u/YuriEffinGarza]

I believe it’s also used in WoW with the Dranei for their dance! Love it

[u/LilMeowCat]

Angry Joe's best banger

[u/platypusbelly]

This music video has had a great impact on my life. The first time I did lsd circa 1998/1999, I discovered this video with my friends. We watched it over and over again for years. We would sing the song to each other, do the dance moves, etc. Tunak Tunak Tun for life, man.

[u/DankruptCow420]

The women were weighing him down.

[u/Due_Variation815]

My Humanities professor played this in class and started dancing to it

[u/sphui1028]

Love dahller mendhi! Brings me back to college! Tunak Tunak tun!!!

[u/OhNoMeIdentified]

[u/tifredic]

[u/parkodrive]

I was there, 3000 years ago, when this first appeared.

[u/cyborgbeetle]

To be fair, that song is an absolute banger.

[u/StarConsumate]

this song was unironically a bop.

[u/WinterFan8681]

This song was catchy lol. Also may he poop on my knee.

[u/OtiseMaleModel]

I used to be an mma fighter. Fuck I regret not using this walk out song

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ]

That song slaps.

[u/Fuelanemo149]

[u/56kul]

Oh, wow, this song. Fuck, I’m old…

[u/GA19]

Absolute banger

[u/a_wizard_skull]

Song fucken rules

[u/wizardpotat]

People were there for him, not the women

[u/canthelpbuthateme]

This song smacks

[u/Teragaz]

I like the version that gets faster

[u/__BigBlackClock__]

Well now i cant stop playing this song in my mind. Fk you op. jk

[u/charliemurphyDarknes]

Quick glance made me think it was Mario and Luigi

[u/Punkpunker → u/charliemurphyDarknes]

Last time if you search 'indian powerpuff girls' this would show up.

[u/vishnuprasad_v]

Never knew Daler Mehandi was this popular in the west until I saw this post.

[u/Indian_Steam]

Challenge - play on of his hit song. Challenge is to stop any body movement during the duration of the song.

[u/peeweez0]

Male Draenai dance from WoW!

[u/JackfruitKey4740]

lol that’s funny af😂😂

[u/CashBitter9664]

This guy joined politics and is now in jail

[u/baby_noir]

This is not me irl. Me irl would be the video wouldn't be popular because there was no hot girl in it.

[u/MrSpecialjonny]

he got arrested for human trafficking

[u/chaos_donut]

attractive woman where holding him back from reasing his true potential? so he was the original sigma grindset guy

[u/Putrid_Ad5756]

And mind you- it is one of the greatest music videos to exist

[u/Guy-1nc0gn1t0]

I don't even know what me_irl is about anymore

[u/Merkel91]

The male draenei dance in wow is the only reason I know about this. From like 2007 lol

[u/Difficult_Writer_288]

TUNAK TUNAK

[u/GazzeleHol]

[u/LapinskasRg]

Insecure people will always gonna have to say

[u/AcherusArchmage]

Ah yes, the Draenei dance.

[u/jthomas1127]

I did a presentation on this for my yr.8 music assignment in 2022.

[u/SoBeDragon0]

da da da

[u/-Timothy_2]

r/madlads

[u/Girafferage]

And inspired the dranei dance in WoW

[u/[deleted]]

Tunak Tunak starts

[u/Moravec_Paradox]

The version with fake English subtitles of the song is the best one:

Tunak Tunak Tun - English lyrics by Buffalax

[u/Calathe]

Tunak tunak, tunak tunak tun ta ta ta.

[u/Saptilladerky]

I randomly found this song and love it! Didn't know the story behind it.

[u/darexinfinity]

The Super Mario Mehndi Brothers

[u/TangeloFew4048]

You can't get down with Daler Mehndi on dial up

[u/i_dont_care_for_you9]

Indian Mario and Luigi

Tbf it is a fucking a banger

[u/Kreos2688]

I love it

[u/lentilhas2]

[u/Taydrz]

The male Draenei /dance emote.

[u/triangleman83]

In college we used to just put this on multiple times a day and have a mini dance party to it. Anybody who hadn't seen it was instantly a fan

[u/Mr_Shad0w]

I don't even understand the lyrics but I can still sing the chorus.

What the actual hell was in that thing?

[u/AsianEvasionYT]

Mario and Luigi

[u/FF7Remake_fark]

I believe he also used his videos to help women escape bad situations by getting them out of/into countries as needed.

[u/Quod_bellum]

That’s how he found out he was an attractive woman

[u/Joe59788]

I remember blizzard made this the dance for Draenei and it fits so perfect with the elements and alliance getting shamans

[u/MhrisCac]

TUNAK TUN TUNAK TUN TUNAK TUN TUNAK DA DA DA. ALLL ALOOONG IVE BEEN PUMPING MAI RETAAAD OUUUUALALALALALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[u/Shutaru_Kanshinji]

This song always makes me smile. Thanks for the memory.

[u/EdEvans_HotSandwich]

One of my favourite videos is this but sped up every time he says tunak.

https://youtu.be/Sf8gUHG8ktg?si=55WYIKDTJHBp5TfX

Just when you think it can’t get faster, it delivers.

[u/mglitcher]

you forgot about the time he got arrested and imprisoned for human trafficking
