Wow, Raj Kapoor! Now there's a name I haven't thought of in years. I don't know if it's the actual cinematography in the video or just because it's black and white, but it makes me think of Akira Kurosawa.
I wish I had one of those sci-fi, futuristic, instant language translators so I could understand the lyrics here. I'm stuck cheap laughs from YouTube auto-captions talking about English Tommy and hanging ghosts up on me. Man, there's just so much that I'll never know.
Soooo...my dad used to sing this song to me and as far as I remember...
My shoes are from Japan,
My pants from England,
My hat is from Russia,
But my heart is still in India
This link does a pretty good job of explaining it.
The actual singer's name is Mukesh btw.
