Old School Sunday – Panjabi MC “Mundian To Bach Ke”
In honour of Panjabi MC releasing “Indian Timing” last week, I thought I’d put this up a few weeks later a la my own Indian Timing.
This is one of the biggest tracks the industry has ever produced as well as being off of Panjabi MC’s best album, the song “Mundian To Bach Ke” needs little to be written about it.
Despite the controversy surrounding how the song came about, the story behind the video is much more simple. According to PMC (and I’m paraphrasing here,) he was driving along and he saw the video of the song playing, and he asked himself “Where did that come from?” The label had just slapped together a video to take advantage of the songs popularity.
With vocals provided by Labh Janjua, the original incarnate of what later became a genre crossing sensation, was taken from the album “Legalised” released in 1998.
This song is 10 years old! Unbelievable.
