MUMBAI — Not for nothing he is called the indie pop rap superstar. Baba Sehgal's latest number 'Chicken Fried Rice', rapped in true '90s style, starts off with these terrific and original lyrics:
OK, table par rakho plate
Arrey, don't worry about your weight.
Life mein daalo spice, khaao chicken fried rice.
I'm not telling lies, main hoon banda very nice
Frank-kaly main toh bolu jo pasand hai, pasand only chicken fried rice.
Chicken fried rice,
Chicken fried rice.
Punjabi, Mallu, Gujji, Telugu, Bihari, Rajasthani, Guddu, Reddy, Bannerjee, Gavaskar, Veer, Mallik, koi mota Victor bola, koi chhota kucch aur bola,
Popularity hai isski worldwide, iss-tarha mat kar, mat karo, mat karo, mat karo, feelings apni hide,
Zara ho-ja thoda side,
Please le lo tum boss thodi chilly chilly sauce, mix kar ke khao boss....
But wait, he's not done.
I'm not telling lies, main hoon banda very nice
Frank-kaly main toh bolu jo pasand hai, pasand only chicken fried rice.
Chicken fried rice,
Chicken fried rice.
Tension mat lena issmein protein bhi hai, har nukkad, galli, city mein, ladies ki kitty mein, only chicken fried rice.
Chicken fried rice,
Chicken fried rice.
Mood agar kharaab hai, proper ya nawab hai, public-private IT mein, 10-5 job hai,
Car ho ya taxi, t-shirt peheno ya maxi, modelling karte-karte baby, you're looking sexy,
Hard work please, har kaam mein, naam mein, aam mein, daam mein, shaam mein, jaam mein,
Jaayenge for a round, fir China Town,
Take a lift and then dancing hari om hari om, worry, worry, worry, none,
I'm not telling lies, main hoon banda very nice
Frank-kaly main toh bolu jo pasand hai, pasand only chicken fried rice.
Chicken fried rice,
Chicken fried rice.
Tension mat lena issmein protein bhi hai, har nukkad, galli, city mein, ladies ki kitty mein,
Mama, mama --
Sun mein, rain mein, train, rickshaw, plane mein, casual mein, suit mein,
Chappal, sandal, boot mein, five-star ke pool mein, municipality ke school mein,
Popularity hai isski worldwide.
Iss-tarha mat kar, mat karo, mat karo, mat karo, feelings apni hide,
Zara ho-ja thoda side,
Please le lo tum boss thodi chilly chilly sauce, mix kar ke khao boss,
I'm not telling lies, main hoon banda very nice
Frank-kaly main toh bolu jo pasand hai, pasand only chicken fried rice.
Chicken fried rice,
Chicken fried rice.
Tension mat lena issmein protein bhi hai, har nukkad, galli, city mein, ladies ki kitty mein, chicken fried rice.
Chicken fried rice,
Chicken fried rice.
Mama, mama --
