Let’s face it. The original sounds very cultural and unique. And I’m the kind of guy who loves giving things gimmicks. I came up with a backstory to this one too, though it seems outdated now. The joke was that President RoBushnik was mining all the oil in India and Sonic was sent out to stop him to save all of India. This one was an interesting one to make. I had to do some research on Indian music. I knew a little bit, having worked at an Indian restaurant. It was fun. Used triplets again, where the original doesn’t. I found it was an interesting twist, they’re a tad more challenging to work with. Overall this one was fairly popular. A lot of the fans got a kick out of the variety of instruments combined and the general feel of the beat. It’s definitely a favorite in the community

Thanks for that. I've always tried to go for something way more complex

hahaha, amazing, I'm from India too and this reminded me of those 80's movies I watched in which the snake dances when owner plays such tune xD...
btw, not all instruments sound indian here, like the bass. It gives a bit modern feel, still loved it.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

You ever hear of Buffalax on YouTube? Kinda older but still pretty funny. Yeah I watched a few of those for ideas. That and, well, the restaurant I was working at at the time was Indian. I appreciate the review

this is not definedly your best work

but somehow, i still love it, and i voted 5 but it's score only rose by like (+ 0.012) but it ain't the end yet...i hope theres more people that like this song and vote 5 for you

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

I appreciate that. I know it's not my best work, and I hope the score doesn't get too high on it, cause honestly I think it should be lower than it is lol. But, it's pretty cool that people still like it regardless. Thanks

I facepalmed, i lol'd, and this song wins

Another awesome remix by the one and only ( you are the only one of you, right o.O) Paul Stetich.

Not technically my style, my style being high energy stuff, but i do not deny leet production skillz like yours. Your songs always have, and always will present an uncharted take on the songs you remix. Instruments are in sync, nice beats per second value, sounds smooth as a .... well i've never felt a baby's butt ... Anyway, everything but the bass line sounds indian, the base line is DNB.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Are you a pedo? LMAO

I appreciate that I really do. Not particularly proud of this song but I'm glad it turned out well. The bass doesn't sound indian cause I couldn't find an indian sounding bass. Tried though

Thanks for the review

funny song...

when i first read the title of this track, it made me laugh. played a bit of the song and bingo. i got a neighbor which come from india, can't wait to show them or play a little trick on them.

god job.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Hahaha nice. I got someone from india who actually reviewed on this, Shikhs. Interesting views on it, he said it didn't sound Indian quite. LOL
