Daler Mehndi’s Tunak Tunak Tun was one of the first viral music memes that I remember, and had a surprisingly long shelf life compared to the memes of today. And he actually stayed very busy since then, producing an absurd amount of music. However, he was also involved in an unfortunate human trafficking case!

>led to it becoming an emote in World of Warcraft
I'm sure other people commented this already but yeah, nah. The male Draenei came out of the box with that as their dance emote. There isn't really "adding emotes" to WoW. Game's a bit too old for that kind of swanky tech. Someone just made a WoW machinima using the models to make a parody/WoW version of the music video.

A 5th miniature Daler Mehndi would’ve been perfect for a longer version of the music video as a cameo in the second instrumental break of the album version.

Don't forget about the "It's my life" guy. You should cover him
@Galantski
November 11, 2025 at 8:04 am
And "Tunak Tunak Tun" is still going remarkably strong in 2024. It was re-uploaded to Daler Mehndi's official YouTube channel last year and already has 11M views!

Ehh, a much better meme song choice would have been the "Benny Lava" song.
@mandiiXmonster777
November 11, 2025 at 8:04 am
NO. WAY. me and my best friend grew up thinking this song was just some false thing we thought we heard her brother playing when we were kids. never again had anyone ever knew what we were singing and now you have a whole video on this ?! this is wild, memory unlocked 😂

Gangnam Style is far from the first foreign meme song.
How about Dragostea Din Tei (Numa Numa)? Trololo? Ievan Polkka?

Dude, I'm surprised you didn't go on a minor tangent about how he did the theme song to Baahubali 2 since he did the theme song for it. That movie's some crazy-ass shit.

Technically, as long as he never actually took anyone anywhere that isn't human trafficking, that's fraud.

Late to the video, but the Indian metal band Bloodywood did a metal version of this song, called “Tunak Tunak Metal.” It’s pretty awesome.

I didn't realize this was a big meme song! Back in the early 00's, this video was on the "morale drive" (essentially a public folder) available on a DoD secure network for US troops deployed to the middle east. I thought (at the time) this was just a popular song in the region. We called it the "Camel Spider Song", and this takes me back to a time that really sucked but I'm still weirdly nostalgic for.

While we're on the subject, Tunak Tunak Tun by Bloodywood slaps so hard.

Yo I know this is a old video but what is the background song I don't know if it was on castle Clashers or another game
