Man, this is seriously addictive. Though i am a northy but honestly some of south music is absolutely mindblowing. I absolutely loved the lyrics, especially when he says oneee, twooo, threeee, fourrr, lol in pure desi southy style. I think western people have lot of airs about their stuff and all, whereas they don't have the population even half to us. This song already has over 10 million viewers and fecking going on and on and on and I am sure this will be the first song to have 100 million viewers.

That’s certainly the case with bizarre broken English / Tamil language song “Kolaveri Di” – translation “Killer Rage” – which is part of the music to upcoming Tamil film 3, the BBC reports. The catchy tune’s generated nearly 11 million views on YouTube to date – and probably more by the time you read this. (LIST: The 30 All-TIME Best Music Videos) Perhaps the ballad’s universal theme is part of its appeal – apparently it’s about a guy who’s been dumped by his girlfriend. The song is also notable for its pretty nonsensical use of words, employing a unique language probably best described as “Tamglish” – mixing Tamil and English. In once section for instance singer Dhanush, son-in-law of Rajinikanth, one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars, sings “eyes-u, eye-u, meet-u, meet-u.” In another he croons “distance-la moonu moonu.” The actor performed the song for the movie, which is directed by his wife Aishwarya. “We all expected it to be a hit by not the kind of rage that it has become today,” Anirudh Ravichander, who composed the track, told the BBC.
