Hotel Keralafornia

Listen this spoof of Hotel California - Hotel Keralafornia

Comments: First - what doesn't work : its a spoof so not that original, I didn't find a particular meaning in the song (same as the original!), the lyrics jar at places.

BUT...

The song has a remarkable depth in some ways. The singer doesn't seem to be native Mallu but is able to do an excellent imitation of Mallu. He seems to really understand the rythms of Mallu-speak and how they interact with English to produce beautiful sounds sometimes (I would guess that it takes understanding both English and Mallu really well to do this). The tone of the spoof is so beautifully laid-back and restrained - doesn't push too hard. The music complements beautifully. Overall the effect is like a verbal and audio velvet bed -- something to luxuriate in.

Check this out. I am completely on Reliances side.

The supply chain in India is horrendously bad and inefficient and hurts every one except the middlemen who find a way to profit.
