If you're obsessed with Indian music videos like I am, please join me in this celebration of the most jubilant and revealing art form. If you're not, please read on, and I will have you converted and learning the choreography faster than you can say Benny Lava.

Benny Lava

The legendary viral video. I personally find the choreography at the 3:00 mark to be the most moving. I call it his “cheese cutter slash rifle” move.

Light Bulb!: Design An Indian Music Dance Mix

Bored with the same old party themes? Why not throw an entire party based around this type of feverish dance music? If nothing else, it will really weed out the friends who really care!

Indian Beatles Sing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"

I have never seen a 4-person guitar ensemble do the can-can so convincingly. Even the most stringent Beatles fan could appreciate this translation.

Typewriter, Tip Tip Tip Tip

I’m heartbroken that the full video of this is nowhere to be found. However, the song is easy to find, since it was featured in Wes Anderson’s Darjeeling Limited. Seriously, this is a hit at parties. Especially when the lady starts singing about her “naughty finger.”

Another By The Singer Of The Infamous Benny Lava

You’ve got to watch this one at least until the part where the couple starts rolling around on a beach covered with penguins.

"It's Magic?"

I’m not sure what I like more – the love interest’s peace sign dress, or the amount of times the main singer does the splits.

...

Does anyone sense any sexual repression here?

 

Tunak Tunak Tun

I challenge you to try to say Tunak Tunak Tun without a smile on your face. This high-concept video features thoughts of multiple personalities, parallel universes, and of course a divine display of the beer belly shimmy.

Indian Thriller

This is an ideal dance-along piece to throw on at the end of a house party, when only the real dancers remain un-phased. The jumping chene turns are a favorite to try in heels.

Another Song By Daler Mendhi

I don’t even need those subtitles to feel the power behind this performance. Daler Mendhi never fails to amuse and evoke the purest sense of joy in his choreography and wardrobe selection.

...

This guy is pretty good with his gold sequin socks and flare for the pop ‘n’ lock. Plus, he uses fun American words like peanut butter, cable T.V., Charlie Caplin, etc.

Chiranjeevi Song

I guess you CAN pull off white pants in the dessert.

Did you just see Slum Dog Millionaire? If you haven’t seen it yet, you are in for a treat when the credits roll.
