3E Presents: A Top 21 Things on the Internet: #21 Tunak Tunak Tun

So there's lots of neat stuff on that internet. Over the next few weeks, we'll be taking you through a list of some of it. This list is by necessity a partial and subjective list, in some sort of order, and we hope criteria for inclusion will emerge over the course of publication. Doubtless someone will point out things we should have included, and everyone will slap their foreheads and go, "Of course!" But hopefully not too much.

If you're incredibly angry about any of this, here is a much more comprehensive list (although it has some surprising omissions). There is some overlap between that list and ours.

So, let's get on with it.

3E Presents: A Top 21 Things on the Internet: #21 Tunak Tunak Tun



I first saw this video in college, and as you can imagine it made a pretty big impression on me. The orange one is my favorite. Whatever has happened in your life, if you do the Tunak Tunak Tun dance, you'll feel better about it. In fact, you should do it right now. It starts about 1:12.

Fun fact! This video is so awesome in part because people complained that Daler Mehndi was only so popular because of all the attractive women in his videos. So, he made this video of himselves doing this fantastic dance. I think they're supposed to be some sort of nature spirits?

Fun fact! The scene from Michael Bay's Transformers wherein the Autobots arrive on earth was lifted directly from this video.

Fun fact! That's not true. But this is: a great Halloween costume for four people would be to go as this video.
