We all receive tons of email forwards. I've been receiving them since 1997. So much so, that I have received some of them several scores of times, although I do not have hard data to back up that claim. Hence this blog.
Well, alright...not everything here was received as a forward. Some are gems that I have painstakingly collected over time
Two guys who didn't have much to do one day went all the way to Heathrow to pull this prank:
Disguised as taxi drivers, they went to information desk about 30-45 mts after Pakistan Airlines, Air India or Thai Airways flights landed, saying that their fares hadn't showed up and asked that their passengers be paged. The seemingly Arabic-looking names were written on pieces of paper and handed to the announcer.
Meanwhile, the second friend stood underneath the speakers and recorded what the information desk attendant "pronounced".
After the fifth message, the airport police caught on to what was going on and chucked them out. The last one was recorded in Gatwick.
First, try to read the names and pronounce them. Then, double-click on the speaker icon, and that's how it sounds!

1. Bhige Hont Tere - 4 mts 33 secs 2. Kaho Na Kaho - 5 mts 12 secs 3. Dil Ko Hazar Baar Roka - 5 mts 34 secs 4. Zindagi Is Tarah - 5 mts 40 secs
I had forgotten how much I liked this song Bhige Hont Tere till I recently heard it on radio.
The other songs are cling-ons...here just because they are from the same movie...of course, they are nice too....
Kaho Na Kaho, Ye Ankhein Bolti Hai (Whether you say it or not, the eyes say it all) is set to an interesting rhythm.
Dil Ko Hazar Baar Roka is patterned on some Bollywood songs from the 60s, and has the old world charm.
Zindagi Is Tarah....I just like the lyrics...Ab chhupane ko apna kuchh na raha, zakhm dikhne lage diwaro se (There's nothing left to hide, the wounds are visible from the cracks)

The Germans, with their penchant for exactitude and efficiency, coin colorful words for expressing thoughts like no others.
Ohrwurm (ear worm) is a song that gets stuck in one's head, keeps playing on, and just doesn't go away. You've experienced it.
The Wise Guys song above is what can best be described as an ohrwurm sung by an ohrwurm about an ohrwurm. Confused? Listen to it, and you'll see what I mean.
Ich bin dein ohrwurm (I am your ohrwurm), it goes...
Enjoy!
Hallo, hallo, ich bin dein Ohrwurm, dein Ohrwurm, hallo, hallo, ich bin dein Ohrwurm, dein Ohrwurm.
Ich summ den ganzen Tag das immer gleiche Lied, es sitzt in meinem Kopf und geht nicht weg. Hab alles ausprobiert, damit es sich verzieht, doch leider hat das alles keinen Zweck. Ich renne durch die Straßen, konzentrier mich auf den Krach, ich dröhne mir die Ohren voll mit Beethoven und Bach, die Fünfte Sinfonie verklingt mit viel "Tata!", mein Ohrwurm sagt, "hallo, ich bin noch da!"
Hallo, hallo, ich bin dein Ohrwurm, dein Ohrwurm, hallo, hallo, ich bin dein Ohrwurm, dein Ohrwurm. Weil ich in deinen Ohren steck, und ich geh hier nie mehr weg!
Ich geh jetzt tanzen, vielleicht lenkt mich das ab. Doch plötzlich gibt es eine Schlägerei! Die Gläser fliegen, doch ich entkomme knapp und lande schließlich bei der Polizei.
Meine Freundin holt mich ab und zahlt die Kaution Und fragt mich auf dem Rückweg nur, wo ich ab morgen wohn. Sie sagt: "Ich hab genug. Ich verlasse dich!" Mein Ohrwurm sagt: "Was soll's? Du hast ja mich!"
Hallo, hallo, ich bin dein Ohrwurm, dein Ohrwurm,... Ich bin zwar nicht grad virtuos, doch du wirst mich nie mehr los!
Vier Uhr nachts, Freundin weg, ich krieg kein Auge zu, hab immer noch das blöde Lied im Ohr. Ich wälz mich hin und her und finde keine Ruh und komm mir langsam ziemlich fertig vor. Allmählich dreh ich durch! Wenn ich nicht sofort schlafe, dann bin ich morgen tot! Ich zähle jetzt mal Schafe... Es funktioniert. Ich merke, dass ich müde werde. Doch plötzlich singt die ganze Herde: Hallo, hallo, ich bin dein Ohrwurm, dein Ohrwurm,... Ich bin ziemlich penetrant, sonst wär ich nicht so bekannt!
Hello, hello, I am your Ohrwurm, your Ohrwurm, Hello, hello, I am your Ohrwurm, your Ohrwurm.
I sing the whole day long It's always the same song, It is in my head and does not go away. Have tried everything so it would leave But unfortunately it was all in vain. I run through the streets, I focus on the noise, I drown my ears in Beethoven and Bach, The Fifth Symphony which sounds a lot like "Tata!" My Ohrwurm says, "Hi, I am still here!"
Hello, hello, I am your Ohrwurm, your Ohrwurm, Hello, hello, I am your Ohrwurm, your Ohrwurm. Because I mostly in your ears, and I never go away!
I go dancing now, perhaps it'll distract me. But suddenly there is a brawl! Glasses flying everywhere, which I barely dodge And finally land at the police.
My girlfriend picks me up and pays the bail And asks me on the way back, just where I'll live from tomorrow. She says: "I have enough. I am leaving you!" My Ohrwurm says, "Who cares? You have me!"
Hello, hello, I am your Ohrwurm, your Ohrwurm, ... I am by no degree virtuos, but you will never get rid of me!
Four o'clock at night, girlfriend away, I get no sleep, And I still have the stupid song in the ear. I roll back and forth and find no rest Come to me and do so fairly slowly. Gradually filming me! If I don't sleep immediately, I am dead tomorrow! I now count sheep ... It works. I realize that I am tired. But suddenly the whole herd starts singing: Hello, hello, I am your Ohrwurm, your Ohrwurm, ... I am quite persistent, or else I would not be known as such!

On the road to Trivandrum Coconut oil in my hair Warm smell of avial Rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw a bright pink tube-light My tummy rumbled, I felt weak and thin I had to stop for a bite There he stood in the doorway Flicked his mundu in style And I was thinking to myself I don't like the look of his sinister smile Then he lit up a petromax Muttering "No power today" More Mallus down the corridor I thought I heard them say Welcome to the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Such a lousy place, Such a lousy place (background) Such a sad disgrace, Plenty of bugs at the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Any time of year Any time of year (background) It's infested here It's infested here
His finger's stuck up his nostril He's got a big, thick mustache He makes an ugly, ugly noise But that's just his laugh Buxom girls clad in pavada Eating banana chips Some roll their eyes, and Some roll their hips I said to the manager My room's full of mice He said, Don't worry, saar,I sending you Meen karri, brandy and ice And still those voices were crying from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them pray Save us from the Hotel Kerala-fonia
Such a lousy place, Such a lousy place (background) Such a sad disgrace Trying to live at the Hotel Kerala-fonia
It is no surprise It is no surprise (background) That it swarms with flies
The blind man was pouring Stale sambar on rice And he said We are all just actors here In Silk Smitha-disguise And in the dining chamber We gathered for the feast We stab it with our steely knives But we just can't cut that beef Last thing I remember I was writhing on the floor That cockroach in my appam-stew was the culprit, I am sure Relax, said the watchman This enema will make you well And his friends laughed as they held me down God's Own Country? Oh, Hell!
I don't really believe that there's anyone unfamiliar with Eagles' timeless classic Hotel California. But here's the original, just in case: 6 mts 31 secs
