Sunday, January 22, 2006 at 06:23AM by Charlie O'Donnell I'm finding myself glued to Indian music videos on Channel 73 this morning. This isn't the first time I've flipped through and stopped to listen and watch.
I have no idea what they're singing about and a lot of the dancing looks like its a fight between the Jets and the Sharks from West Side Story. What's with the dancing in big groups? There also seems to be a lot of rising overhead shots of guys singing with outstretched arms and shouting towards the sky... sort of like Kirk yelling "Khaaaan!" in Star Trek II.
But yet, I can't stop from bopping along. This is great stuff.
Music truly is the international language. Attractive female Indian dancers don't hurt either, admittedly.
So, if anyone has any recommendations as to some of this stuff I should be listening to, let me know.

it's the only bollywood cd i own, or have ever listened to, so i'm not an expert, but it's real good - i was in malaysia at the time - it's extremely popular there and almost every other country on the Indian Ocean rim
not sure if you need to see the movie first to appreciate it, though
