...and you're a better man than me, gunga din.
Whatever the fuck that means.
Here's a Stickam player with my face on:

Sorry about my face.
Anyway. Click on the button with the musical note on, and then hit 'play'.
When the song starts, try and guess what it's a cover of.
If you call it before the song title is sung at about 1:08 ... well.
I admire you.
Bloody brilliant cover, that.
Highlights worth sticking the whole thing out for include:
-The rap section (I...can..feel...you...here!)
-The verse section that actually sounds like the original, none of which is in English
-The 90s-style acid jazz choral backing vocal interspersed with Roxette-esque guitar and Tetris-style 'HEY! HEY!' towards the end
-Wondering what 'Bokha Bokha Na' means
This track comes to you courtesy of all sorts of illegal activity, I'm sure, but mostly because I heard it in a Himalayan-run Bodega in Brooklyn last night and Krissa and I were so taken with it we asked the guy behind the counter if we could see the CD case.
Just in case you want to sniff out a copy for yourself, the track is performed by Shankar Mahadevan and Ravi Rags Khote, on the soundtrack to the film 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', which is set in New York. One of the other tracks is a very corny bit of 90s-house-cum-banghra called 'It Is The Time To Disco' so you might not want to worry too much about getting the whole album.
Ahem.
If you ever find out what "Bokha Bokha Na" means, let me know. I've a bit of a thing for Indian music videos, and that phrase is all over them.
bwahaha! the funniest thing is that i've actually seen that film, so the first minute was driving me nuts because it was So Oddly Familiar, Where Do I Know It From?!
I read that to say "Horse Cum Banghra" the first time through. I was wondering what the fuck that meant.
Oh my sweet Jperson.
Never guessed, but when the chorus came in at 108, I was a gonna. What drugs are they on.
(That stickeram, is a terrible interface. There is a big play button that turns out to be an arrow. Shoddy usability)
that evil leer... that pint of lurid juice-like substance... that funky 70s background...

What pint? On the Stickam thing? That's a subway seat in the background. But hmmm. Possibly.
