If I either 1) spoke Hindi or 2) had an unlimited supply of Hindi-speaking friends I could annoy with constant questioning, I would dedicate an entire blog to the phenomenon of Indian, uh, appropriations of Western pop music.  Listen closely to many Bollywood hits, and you’ll hear a familiar hook and bass line.   I haven’t noticed it as much, lately, but there was as period in the late 90s where I was convinced I could track every hit charting in India to a Janet Jackson track from the 80s/early 90s.  In any event, discovered this one over the weekend, and thought I’d share it.

India’s DJ Suketu took a popular early 90s hit – Bin Tere Sanam – and remixed it into an even bigger hit:

The original, by Yaara Dildara, was an enormous hit in its own right:

So what did DJ Suketu use to breath some life into an already monster hit?  Kylie Minogue to the rescue:
