Dhanush - Why This Kolaveri Di
At first I listened to this as a goof, I was like “this is sufficiently silly and entertaining” but it earwormed it’s way into my head…and well, here we are. The wiki article is interesting, given that I often think of viral things as worldwide, this song went completely viral in Asia and it’s sung in Tanglish!
The song is also called a ‘Soup’ song, where ‘Soup’ is a colloquial Tamil word which refers to young men experiencing failure in their romantic relationships.
See also: the English R&B remix, it replaces a lot of the beautiful instrumentality of the original with English language vocals, but is still pretty good.
While I’m at it, check out the BollyBrook remix of Bachna Ae Haseeno, featuring Anne Marsen of GIRL WALK // ALL DAY fame
