Black eyed peas and illayaraja present elephunk theme

There is this song from the famous band black eyed peas called elephunk theme that caught my fancy. It has been around for quite some time now but I heard it only a couple of months back. This song is a nice rap with some gud beats. Wat comeas as a surprise is d way the tamil song has been remixed. I being a film buff was really surprised at not being able to identify the root song. I thot it was some obscure bhagyaraj movie song. D ‘oomph’ factor made me decide. But I ran a check on the song and at last thnx to some other bloggers found that the root song “unakkum enakkum arambham” is from the ‘devotional’ movie ‘Sri Raghavendra’. It really bowled me over. This song is picturised on sathyaraj I guess. He is this sultan or rather some muslim ruler in d movie. But kudos to bep they’ve done a really gud job. D hip hop as a interlude. janaki’s voice is really very sexy in the literal sense coz dat song requires it.poor Malaysia vasudevan’s part is removed. Infact I don’t remember listening to the song in d movie. Probably the makers removed it too. I suggest this song to all those ilaya lovers out der. a matter of pride to see that this song has been remixed. But am not sure if raja wud be really happy. Probably that’s wy the bep removed it from their release. Anyway listen to the song or rather watch it here.
