The Oscar cash in

Seems like everyone is trying to cash in on the enormous success of Slumdog Millionaire. I've overheard people saying that its too overrated and did not deserve 8 Oscars, but i say that's BS. Call me biased because i am an Indian or a movie lover but Slumdog Millionaire is truly a great movie.

Oh talking about cashing in... Pussy Cat Dolls came up with a remix of the Oscar winning song "Jai Ho"... i personally think its ridiculous... and lets see why..

Here is the song with its actual translation in English...

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
(IT ROCKS!,IT ROCKS!,IT ROCKS!,OH IT ROCKS!)
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(IT ROCKS..OH IT ROCKS!)

Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai
(BIT BY BIT I TRULY DIED EACH DAY..)
Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai
(SPENT THE NIGHTS DANCING ON HOT COALS..)
Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di
(I BLEW AWAY THE SLEEP IN MY EYES..)
Gin Gin Tare Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai
(I BURNT MY FINGERS TRYING TO TOUCH THE STARS..)
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY)

And here is the remix:

I got shivers
When you touch of a (?)
I’ll make you hot, Get what you got,
I’ll make you wanna say
(Jai Ho, Jai Ho)

I got fever, running like a fire
For you I will go all the way
I wanna take you higher
(Jai Ho)

I keep it steady steady, that’s how I do it
This beat is heavy, so heavy you gonna feel it.
