I love Hindi songs, but often they have English lyrics that are, at best, out of place. I thought it might be fun to have a thread with songs that contain amusing English lyrics.

I recently heard a song from Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's recent pop album, Back 2 Love (the title could only be better if, "Love", were spelt "Luv"). The song is called Sharab-E-Husn, and is actually not a bad song. THEN we get the following English lyrics from a random female singer:

Love me flirty,
Eat me dirty,
Make me feel out of this world.

I'd recommend the song anyway, it's catchy, but those lyrics in the middle of the song made me burst out laughing. Have any of you come across similarly hilarious examples? If so, please share!

"It cannot be stolen by thieves, Nor can it be taken away by kings. It cannot be divided among brothers, It does not cause a load on your shoulders. If spent..It indeed always keeps growing. The wealth of knowledge..Is the most superior wealth of all!"

It just feels out of place!

'Disco' is such a dated term for me that it seemed funny in a quaint way. Speaking of dated, one of my older funny Hinglish songs is What is mobile number.

To my ears it sounds like Disco Diva. It might actually be Hindi though. Anyway lets see what you think.

'What is mobile number?
What is your smile number?' ha ha, it's chronic.

Hilarious. Possibly intentionally.
	Firangi with terrible taste in actors, movies, and music. Any commentary is not to be taken seriously.

Actually, I didn't notice any English lyrics in that song. Whereabouts in the song do you hear it?

Probably because I imagine Uday Chopra's face when I hear it!

dancelover: From the first such films thru the end of 1995, they needed lots of updating. Starting in Jan. 1996, someone else has been partially updating them, with Director, 3 Actors, confirmation they were in Kannadan, and sometimes Screenwriters. Sept 11, 2022 17:54:57 GMT

dancelover: I have been busy filling in gaps in IMDb. Their records for South India films are shockingly incomplete. I have been working Malayalam, and some Kannadan. Dec 25, 2019 21:01:30 GMT
