6. I like it

Wiki says he was criticized for always having beautiful girls in his videos, so he made one with just himself, and of course it was a smash hit.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. There's a PBS station here that plays Indian videos on Sunday mornings...

We really enjoy them! :thumbsup:

[Ekirh]

2. OH GOD.... I actually have this on a mix CD

And I don't even remember why lol.

[Elidor]

7. Because you recognize His divinity

Whether you realize it or no.

[Ekirh]

10. I try not to listen.. I try not to watch..

But I am drawn.. and I must obey.. I must give in.... I must. . . . cherish ;).

[Glorfindel]

3. I'm struck dumb with wonder...

Thank you for posting this masterpiece. :evilgrin:

[Elidor]

5. Ah, Daler Mehndi. Yes, he is a god among men.

I know him well. We mere mortals can only hope to bask in his glory.

[Elidor]

8. We're not worthy!

[Danger Mouse]

12. Does this man have a fan club?

If so...I'm so joining it.

[Elidor]

17. If he doesn't, we'll form one!

I hear he's pretty successful, though, so he probably does.

[Danger Mouse]

25. How could he NOT be succesful? The guy ROCKS.

I love his outfits. His enthusiasm. His energy. He just exudes awesomeness.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

9. For the oddest video I've ever seen in my entire life, the song's quite catchy.

I have beholden the coolness that is Daler Mehndi.
(Except I think he based this video on the Captain Planet cartoon)

[Elidor]

11. It's a damned earworm

I've got it on my mental turntable now. I'll probably wake up humming it tomorrow.

[Danger Mouse]

14. And on that day...

the four Elemental Mehndis came to the earth, bringing ruin and destructrion with them.
The Earth Mehndi could split the earth with his mighty fists. The Fire Mehndi could conjure flames as if it were nothing. The Water Mehndi could summon the waters and make them dance, and the Air Mehndi could produce great dust storms.
The Elemental Mehndis, known for their love of killing and their fashion sense, went on a dancing and singing rampage that left millions dead.
The last words heard by so many innocents: 'Da da da'
To this day, they are still out there, lurking. We pray for the day that the four warriors of Light can vanquish the terrible the thread of Elemental Mehndis and bring peace to our world once more.

/So ashamed I wrote this.
/But it just popped into my head.
/Going to hide now. :hide:

[Elidor]

18. LMAO!

:rofl:

So true!

:thumbsup:

[Danger Mouse]

22. Don't provoke them.

When he threw a fireball at the camera with that huge, winning grin of his...
well let's just say I was having Code Brown right about then.

[fizzgig]

19. ...

:rofl:


:loveya:

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

28. Mfft

:applause: :rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

36. Someone has clearly played one too many final fantasy games.

That someone being me.

[crim son]

13. Lord, the infection's spread!

I thought I'd eradicated it from my home but now here it is again, on my computer. Make it go away! :scared:

[Danger Mouse]

15. The power of Daler Mehndi cannot be stopped.

He controls the very elements!

[crim son]

20. And as he controls them,

he smiles cynically...

[Danger Mouse]

24. Truly, a man to be feared and respected.

For his power is nothing to sneeze at.

[Elidor]

16. Mwahahaha!

D'oleraan watcha doombay voneetah, suleh build-ee poor-cah, ahdja carra-lee ah pure-ah

[crim son]

21. Eh?

:crazy:

[Elidor]

23. See the first reply for a translation

That's just my phonetic attempt at what he sings in the first verse.

You know you want to play it again. :evilgrin:

[WildEyedLiberal]

26. OMG this song's awesome

:rofl:

[Elidor]

27. Hehe

Another one is infected!

[lost-in-nj]

30. Daler is a god in video games, too!

I first got hooked on Daler and Tunak Tunak Tun years ago when my online gaming guild in Ultima Online's Siege Perilous server (a very hardcore player-versus-player server) went nuts over him. One of my friends still names his characters variations on "Tunak" to this day. Similar to the whole "All your base" game-geek joke, Daler & Tunak are immortal in some circles.

Even funnier is that when the recent expansion for World of Warcraft launched at the beginning of this year, one of the new Races introduced (the Draenai) had a very ... familiar ... dance style. Enjoy!

[Elidor]

31. I used to play UO, years ago

And I first heard of Daler from my guildies in WoW, which I've pretty much retired from.

Waiting for Conan.

[PleadTheFirst]

32. Same here.

I'm still in WoW and enjoying it, but I'm looking forward to Age of Conan as well. :)

[Elidor]

34. And a dropkick murphys fan, too!

You have great taste.

Assassin's Creed is coming in November. That should tide me over 'till Conan pops.

[Danger Mouse]

37. Incredible!

A fine tribute to the coolest man ever.

[ceile]

35. Love it! And yes, I am dancing!

I can think of worse earworms to have.
