OMG. OMG. OMG.

AWESOME.

Since this thread seems to have morphed into a trip down 80s nostalgia, I’d like to believe that this isn’t entirely irrelevant to our discussion at hand: shouldn’t his histrionic, rooftop declarations of eternal love, set to the backdrop of a major city, and triumphant monobrow qualify as a desi angle (TM)? Plus, my cousins back in the Poonjab still rock the jean jacket like its 1988.

I think this Youtube comment sums it up best:

Could be the feel good song of ALL TIME!!!

I'm curious to see what it evolves into, though. Given that these kids seem to be making good money off their sound system engineering skills, I can imagine that the low-tech island steez will change a bit. Kind of like the way Jamaican sound systems evolved in the 1970s into DJ setups that we would find more familiar today.</p> I think this is pretty damn cool.
