Benny Lava

I decided when I started to blog that I will not have any explicit content on my blog, but this shit’s hilarious. I was amazed to see Benny Lava a.k.a Prabhu Deva had become a global phenomenon, thanks to Buffalax, a youtuber who transliterated Kalluri Vanil song. Try searching for Benny Lava in YouTube and you will be amazed. Most of Prabhu Deva fans have always thought that he never went as international as his talent deserved, but it is nice to see him youtubed to world fame! Even though the lyrics is explicit and funny, the humor is definitely creative.  This video has over 9 million views and counting.

The video has also inspired more buffalaxing of several popular Prabhu Deva songs. Some people might find it racist. But, no one can deny the crazy creativity in this mad transliteration.

I have laughed like mad today and missed my gym to write this blog. This also reflects how music can transcend boundaries. I apologize to people who think this song is racist. I am sure that buffalax did not intend it that way. Also watch the McCain/Palin Benny Lava video.
