Song and dance

So what is all the song and dance about? Well, it is about a song and a dance. The song has already gone viral all over You Tube. Yes, absolutely right, it is Kolaveri; how could a Chennai blog not write about the Chennai song that the whole world is writing and blogging about? Just in case you are one of the few who haven't seen it or heard about it, here is the link. Enjoy the simple song of our Chennai "soup boys".

Now for the dance. Did you think flash mobs could only be done in Grand Central station? No, siree, here is Mumbai CST, no less, and Rang de Basanti at that. This video hasn't gone viral yet, at the time of writing, but looks all set to do so. In case you wonder if it was all rehearsed, it was, and filmed at CST with due permission from the police, but that doesn't take the fun away. We wonder if it will set a fashion. If it does, there might be a Kolaveri flash mob in Madras Central station. Now that would be a song and dance indeed!

I still can't figure out why this song has become this popular. But have you heard Sonu Nigam's son's version? Thats cute :)

It's the combination of a catchy tune and a simple song. Plus there are lots of "soup boys", you know. They liked their song!

Pardon the ignorance but what are soup boys? Is this the Chennai equivalent of beer-and-pizza boys? Hard working guzzlers?

AmOK said...

Soup boys! Got it.

Yup. That's where I got enlightenment too.
