Here is a link to an Indian music video. I thought we'd have some laughs after Christmas and New Years so the video will, hopefully, cheer you up after the holiday season,
The video is fun, lots of dancing and has beautiful women in it and handsome men. The point of putting it here on Ebaby, however, is the words that the singers are singing in the video. The person who made the film used English subtitles to show what he thought they were singing but, since they are not singing in English, sometimes the English words seem pretty funny!
A friend of mine here on Ebaby showed me the video in Portuguese so I guess this particular Indian language, and maybe someone can tell me what the language is, lends itself to different interpretations.

Remember that I am not laughing at the video, I am pointing out that sometimes we can misinterpret what someone is saying and that sometimes all languages kind of sound the same! If you have ever seen Russell Peters do a comedy routine then you will know exactly what I mean.
What's the language and what are the real words to the song? Help!
