Dholna, vaje tumbe val taar
"...soode dil de pukar
Aaja karle ye pyar..."
"Sweetheart, the strings of the instrument play
listen to what the heart says
Come and love me"
First of all, calm down, I haven't learned another language, nor am I writing romantic lyrics. Those are the original lyrics, and the same lyrics translated to the best song to ever come out of India. Tunak Tunak Tun. If you haven't seen the video, A) what the hell is wrong with you... B) download it here (43MB, right-click and save as).
There's also a couple videos floating around the internet of people doing it in talent shows. One of them is extremely hilarious which I can't find at the moment, another is on YouTube.
But alas, Daler Mehndi is not the subject of this post. Rather it is Larry Bozick. He is a crazy war veteran turned 10th Grade English Teacher with ridiculous stories that no one belives. (A famous one is when he lit roman candle and it shot into the upstairs of a pharmacy in Japan where there just happened to be fireworks stored and the entire block exploded.) Anyway, he taught Honors English 10 one year... the year I happened to be in 10th grade. In my high school, 10th grade was world literature. We had to read all kinds of ridiculous books and movies.
Yes, you may now smite me for connecting Daler Mehndi and Larry Bozick... but be assured, there is relevance. So I'm cleaning my desk off, and throwing things in the common room trash. Jeopardy! is on the TV... which is always a good thing because it reminds me that I'm smarter than everyone else. One of the topic's was Off-Broadway. Unfortunately I only got the $400 and the $2000 questions (Alec Baldwin, and Stomp! respectively).
But this entry is about the $1200 question. "The musical "Sidd" is based off of this book." The answer... (well technically question, Shut your mouth Trebek!) "What is Siddhartha" [SOUND FUCKING 7]
THEY MADE A MUSICAL ABOUT SIDDHARTHA
