It's from 1980 - and the SMB was released in 1977/78... Wish I didn't know that but anyway, lots of "Bollywood" films from the 70/80s took American pop hooks and completely made them their own. That one just beats the hell out of Steve Miller - for sure.
It makes sense that they would incorporate American pop hooks. After hearing some of the Southeast Asian covers on Bodega Pop, it seemed like anything was possible.
I once heard (on WFMU) a recording of a DJ live-scratching one or two copies of "Take the Money and Run" and drawing that drum opening out to what seemed like 5 minutes of scratches, beats, and breaks until finally letting go with that anticipated "Whoo-whoo!" to orgiastic crowd response. So it seems like Steve Miller makes a good ingredient in another recipe!
That sounds like a fun remix, James. I like a few Steve Miller songs, including Take the Money and Run, but not the one referenced in the Bollywood tune. But I did like the Bollywood version, definitely an improvement.
