  • "Tunak Tunak Tun", often referred to solely as "Tunak", is a bhangra/pop love song created by Punjabi artist Daler Mehndi and released in 1998. It has become an internet meme because of its catchy tune and the amusing dance in its music video, inspiring numerous spin-offs and parodies. The music video was the first made in India to use bluescreen technology, which allowed the singer to superimpose his image over various computer-generated backgrounds, one featuring St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. The "strange" dancing and presence of only the singer in this video was a response to criticism from the world of Bhangra pop. Many critics at the time complained that his music was popular due to his videos which featured beautiful women dancing; his response was to create a video that featured only himself. As he predicted, the song was still a huge success, but the phenomenon of foreign language and unusual dancing made the video a cult hit in other countries as well. In 2003, the Tulane University Marching Band adopted the choreography from the music video to go along with "BJ", a drum cadence consisting of similar rhythms to Tunak Tunak Tun, when the band marches in Mardi Gras parades. The dance from this song's music video can be seen in the video game World of Warcraft. The male Draenei characters do this dance when "/dance" is typed. The international student organization known as AIESEC, uses this song as one of their line dances in group activities and conferences every year. Most AIESEC branches all practice the same version of it around the world for the last 8 or 9 years. The song is also used in various MAD videos and has become a meme at Nico Nico Douga. The song was recently featured in an episode of ABC's The Unusuals.
  • "Tunak Tunak Tun", parfois simplement désignée comme "Tunak Tunak", est une chanson bhangra/pop créée par le chanteur indien Daler Mehndi et sortie en 1998. Elle est devenue un phénomène internet par son clip; la musique étant appréciée, la danse considérée humoristique et le fait que les personnages soient tous Daler Mehndi en costumes de couleurs différentes. Ce clip est le premier en Inde à avoir utilisé la technique de l'écran bleu, permettant au chanteur de projeter ses images sur plusieurs décors en images de synthèse. Le clip, avec sa "drôle" de danse et la présence de Daler Mehndi seul, était une réponse à des critiques du monde de la musique pop bhangra. On reprochait à Mehndi que sa musique n'était populaire simplement parce que ses clips montraient des belles femmes danser; Mehndi décida de contrecarrer ces critiques en faisant un clip ne montrant que lui-même. Comme il l'avait prévu, la chanson fut quand même un grand succès, y compris à l'étranger où le clip fut considéré comme "culte".
  • "Tunak Tunak Tun", często skracane do Tunak, to piosenka z 1998 roku z gatunku bhangra/pop autorstwa hinduskiego wykonawcy z Pendżabu, Dalera Mehndiego. Stała się ona internetowym fenomenem ze względu na swoją łatwo wpadającą w ucho melodię oraz zabawny taniec w teledysku, ponadto intrygujący śpiew wykonawcy charakterystyczny dla hinduskich utworów. Teledysk do "Tunaka" był pierwszym filmem zrealizowanym w Indiach w technice tzw. niebieskiego ekranu, który pozwolił Mehndiemu na zwielakratnianie swojej postaci oraz dodawanie rozmaitych teł przy pomocy techniki komputerowej, takich jak stylizowana na bizantyjską świątynia czy skomplikowane animacje. Taniec Mehndiego został wykorzystany przez firmę Blizzard w grze World of Warcraft jako taniec mężczyzn rasy Draenei, podobnie jak w grze Medal of Honor: Allied Assault jako easter egg. W wielu filmach - parodiach Angry German Kid występuje właśnie ten teledysk. Bohater negatywnie na nie reaguje.
