It’s from a 1960s Bollywood movie, but became popular in the West when it was used in the cult-hit movie “Ghost World” about a decade ago, and has turned up again in one of those retro-looking Heineken ads. Recently, some blog I follow, probably Dangerous Minds, turned up the original number from the movie Gumnaam on YouTube. The clip is cool in the way that only 1960s movies could be yet uniquely Indian, and clearly inspired the Heineken ad. Enjoy.

To wit, watch this video of an Uzbeki man who works as an immigrant laborer in Russia doing his own awesome cover version of a very popular tune from a Bollywood movie. He’s the hottest thing on YouTube in Russia, according to the blog Russia!, and has become a local celebrity in Moscow performing the song “Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja” from the 1982 Indian film “Disco Dancer”.

Gotta love the Internet exactly for reasons like this.
