Harbhajan Singh may be out of the Indian team, but he is busier than ever before! The off-spinner, who was disgruntled after being dropped from the Indian team few months ago, has written, composed and sung a song which is his own version of the sensational Tamil superthit, “Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di? ”
The Sardar was extremely furious at not being picked for the India’s tour to Australia. He then decided to vent his anger at the selectors, thankfully not by slapping them, but by lyrically expressing his angst against them. The song is now widely acknowledged as Harbhajan’s best-ever performance ever.
Here are the lyrics of Harbhajan’s killer song which is now a YouTube sensation, beating the original Tamil song by a mile! Not surprising considering that Harbhajan has always been known for his “doosra”!
Yo Boys I am sing song…soup song, flop song
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di …
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri….aa di?
Experience ten years-u, first Indian to take Test hat-trick-u
Still getting dropped-u …selectors heart-u black-u, black-u
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di …
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di?
This year-u…World Cup win-u, Champion League win-u…
Still out of team; how-u?
Eyes full of tear-u, empty life-u…
my future-u dark-u
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di …
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di?
400 wickets in Test-u, still not selected for Australia tour-u,
God I am dying now-u, Ashwin is happy, how-u?
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di …
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di?
OK music mama…now tune change-u
God…please one more chance-u; get me in team-u
Selection in Indian team-u…life-u reverse gear-u
Love-u, love-u, cricket my only love-u God one more chance-u…please-u, get me in team-u
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di…
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di?
Harbhajan’s song has already received 87 million hits on YouTube making him a truly international celebrity. It’s the kind of fame no cricketer – not even Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni – have achieved!
It’s reliably learnt that the BCCI top brass met recently and agreed that Harbhajan needs to be played to get the stadiums full again.
Later some BCCI bigwigs went to Harbhajan’s house and told a Sardar dressed like Daler Mehendi who opened the door that they have come to meet Bhajji. The Sardar smiled and replied, “I’m Bhajji. What can I do for you?”
The BCCI biggies told them of the board decision to get him back into Team India to which Harbhajan said, “You guys should have known – Singh is King!”
All that the BCCI members could say: “Bhajji, tussi great ho!”
