“Why this Kolaveri Di?”

In India, “Why this Kolaveri Di?” (often translated as “Why this murderous rage, girl?”) has been an awesome viral hit on the Internet. The song is from a Tamil movie, but the lyrics are in a very, very simple English without proper English grammar. Honestly the song doesn’t really improve the perception of English speaking Indians by foreigners, but it is nevertheless awesome :-).

Apart from the original version and the female version, which you may have listened to already, for this Music Monday you can also choose to watch a dance flash mob or listen to remakes in Punjabi and German!
