Benny Lava

Every so often, one comes across something so funny that it must be shared with the world.

In keeping with my recently added list of YouTube vids that my kids have turned me on to, last night friends of theirs were over and showed them what we are now calling the Benny Lava song. With almost 10 million hits on YouTube, we're obviously not alone in finding this hysterical.

This video is brilliantly funny from two perspectives. First is what the author did with the transliterated text as he heard it (watch the video - especially the introduction - and that last sentence will make sense), but second is that this Indian music video stands on its own merit in an '80's flashback sort of way. Watch the choreography. Fosse, it ain't.
