Earworm (noun): A catchy song or tune that runs continually through someone’s mind.
If there’s one Indian musician who has mastered the art of the earworm, it’s Baba Sehgal.
India’s answer to Eminem has delivered earworm after earworm ever since Gori Gori and Dilruba. And now, he’s back with another catchy tune that we can’t seem to get out of our heads – Going to the Gym! If you haven’t listened to the rest of Sehgal’s discography yet, trust us when we say you’re missing out, and it’s time to fix that. Here are 5 of Baba Sehgal‘s catchiest tunes for your playlist:
Thanda Thanda Pani
You can’t think about Baba Sehgal without thinking about this song. Who needs Ice Ice Baby when you can have Thanda Thanda Pani?
Dil Dhadke
Romance meets rap in this epic melange! Next time you need to woo someone, you know which song to play!
Balle Balle
Over the years, a lot of singers have tried to put their own spin on Bari Barsi, the soundtrack to every Punjabi wedding. But no one has done it quite as well as Baba Sehgal!
Main Bhi Madonna
There’s a reason the album was named after this track. Let’s just leave it that. To quote Baba Sehgal, "Miss Loomba Loomba, tu hai badi fantastic!"
Manjula
Every ’90s and early 2000s kid remembers the Manjula Manjula Manjula chant. And for good reason!
P.S.: The rhymes in this song also foreshadow the rapper’s epic tweets. Listen carefully!
