Shake Ya Cheque Book - Chikku Bukku Raiyle

Warning! This is a Benny Lava tribute post!

Morning!
Fancy some Kolly for breakfast?

The first one (below) was posted to me as a video response to Mukkala Muqabla on the Agent B youtube channel.

I like it a lot, I love it!
(Big thanks to Rohit Kumar )

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you...Prabhu Deva, aka Benny Lava, the "Indian Michael Jackson" in Gentleman (1993), his first hit as a star in Kollywood (the Tamil film industry).
Check the way this guy moves!




I have also found this delicious salsa-ish track, Kattana Ponnu...mmmmm I feel a new Benny Lava Fit mix coming up..




Arrgh! All this prancing around - my feet are on fire! Taxi!

Taxi Taxi, Sakkarakatti (2008)




Now this one is truly all over the place. Wow!
Do I hear the words, dinner wid da ladee in di wet red sari ?
A. R. Rahman's usual multilingual acrobatics, Kolly in English and French are beautifully complemented by a sprinkling of Baleh Baleh Shava!, there's reggaeton, reggae influence and even a little Gorillaz flavour, right up my street.
This is just a little taste of things to come - little birdie tells me..

Okay. Yes, I admit - it's an obsession: No problem, Love Birds (1996) with Apache Indian..




And finally, you do know this one, don't you?
Mukkala Muqabla, Kadhalan (1994)
Lyrics here.




BENNY LAVA RULEZ!
