There is something about old songs, we all agree on that. Take for example "Kismat ki hawa kabhi naram" song that is once again going viral on social media after it was shown in multi-starrer film Ludo by Anurag Basu. The song is originally from the film Albela (1951) sung by C Ramachandra.
Old music videos always hit a different vibe. The music, the lyrics and the dance is to the point, particularly given the fact that technology wasn't as evolved then as it is now. A similar video dating back to 70s has gone viral on social media.

If that is the truth, then the song was meant to be a satire on Italians' liking for English songs. "THE GREATEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN," wrote Twitter user Harry.
"Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsense lyrics meant to sound like American English, apparently to prove Italians would like any English song. It was a hit, and resulted in this: THE GREATEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN," she wrote.

You have seen this by now, but this gets EVEN BETTER. I was curious and looked it up. The song's title is "Prisencolinensinainciusol" and the lyrics are kindof amazing. https://t.co/wi4bhAzlJqThe wikipedia article is interesting, too: https://t.co/4PINhZmUL6 https://t.co/WqvdJ8RsHv
