Trust desis to find desipann everywhere! Be it in a bowl of chowmein, or a delicious burger, or even a wedding gown (just go to an Indian wedding and you’ll know what we’re talking about!). So how could their favorite bands remain immune?
Here’s presenting a cringe-worthy look at how international bands would sound like, if they had Indian names.
Where The Rolling Stones is Ludakta Pathar,
And Arctic Monkeys is Barfile Bandar.
Where Backstreet Boys have teleported to Chandni Chowk and are now called Pichli Gali Ke Launde,
And Red Hot Chili Peppers has shed all its cool cred, and has now become an Indian sabzi.
Apologies in advance to die-heart fans. But hey, like everything else in life, band worship too shouldn’t be taken too seriously. How about we just loosen up and enjoy this desi tadka to international music.
