Lost in translation.

Another good title would be WTFFFFFFFFF!!!!! My wife taxlady sent me this link to a very very very strange danish music video. I gather (knowing no danish) that the thing was produced by attempting to interpret a hindi song in danish, and then making a music video based on what the song seems to be about. So, it has hindi (I think) words with danish subtitles with a similar pronunciation, and an illustration of what that would be. Not understanding any of the languages involved I can just say WTF because it is some VERY WIERD SHIT™

Consider yourself to have been warned.

taxlady: You were wondering what I would think of this. Now you know.

It's VERY WIERD SHIT™ even if you do understand the Danish subtitles :D

This kind of excessive realism in the arts really gets me down....

hmm

Being reasonably familiar with Hindi/Urdu, I'd suggest that the song has no Hindi in it. Also, being completely unfamiliar with Danish, I further propound the theory that the spoken(?) words are actually Danish, except sung in some Arabic/North-African style...

I can assure you that the words are not in Danish. Not even heavily accented, mispronounced Danish.
