Yeah, that's an old one. I have it on my iPod. I believe it's Adore that's in that video, right?

YEAH, it is! :) I remember this now, and of course now it's playing on and on and on in my head :))

Was this the one with all of the controversy about copyright violations a few years back?

You know, the backup dancers really weren't that bad, compared to a lot of non-ME music videos I've seen. A couple of them need to tuck their pelvises a bit.

I wonder who the choreographer was - it must have been someone who's done some BD training.

Yes this is the song that they just sampled and didn't pay. They lost in court of course. I think Swizz Beats was made the beat and he even said at the time that he was listening to AM radio one morning and heard the song on a Bollywood show and decided to sample it. Strange that he didn't think he'd have to pay anyone.
It's still an awesome song though and one of my Sister's favorites to perform to. She performed it at my last hafla.

Definitely an awesome song :) I thought it sounded familiar - glad to hear they eventually paid up. It's positively infectious :)

They are probably trying to stick their butts out to make them look bigger.
It was a pretty nice fusion and there's a real Belly Dancer at about 3:15 maybe she choreographed.

Really, i'll have to look at it again.

This song reminds me of the Asian Mela in my Town, dancing in the tents with my girlies when I was 16!! What a tune thanks for posting x
