I somehow hadn’t ever noticed the fact this is Indian traditional music until this stringed-instrument cover today and I just jolted up and said “BHANGRA!”

This reminds me of one of my favourite memories of living in London. I was in a pub in SoHo, and got lost looking for the bathroom, and stumbled on a scene that was pretty much exactly like what was in this vid. I watched until I got asked to leave. Thanks for that!

I have to be honest, and say that I thought this would be a really douchey and suck rendition of one of my childhood classics…
I was pleasantly surprised. Can’t wait to hear the Airwolf one (that was my go to “super-tech TV show”)
They’re probably referring to this:
The 19th century original?

What’s up with the MC Hammer sweatpants at 1:50?
This is maybe one of those “see a face in that cloud” exercises but somehow the Knight Rider theme is a tad remeniscent of this 1971 movie theme. I know, different pace, different key etc…but.
