Mike found this Penn Masala video on Youtube, called The Facebook Skit. Its a parody of Enrique Iglesias’ Hero. Funny, and with complete desi authenticity as it features a Patel mentioned in the video.

Penn Masala is the world’s first and premier Hindi a cappella group formed in 1996 at the University of Pennsylvania. Their website even has a media player that features the most popular songs from the five albums that the group has produced in the last ten years. I didn’t realize that two of their songs were also featured in American Desi, a movie that most desis probably end up watching (through strong recommendation or otherwise), in their first week after stepping ‘off the boat‘ - well, I did anyway.

Penn Masala also has their newest song, ‘Aankhon Mein Tu Hai’, available as a free download. Its a good song with some north and southern Indian classical influence. Check it out.
