Kiss Me Baby!!!

Movie: Garam Masala

Original Singer/s: Adnan Sami

Theme: Akshay Kumar Songs!

I have to say that I almost fell out my chair when I heard this song, in fact, I had the same reaction as Himesh, (the part, when Raja starts to sing the chorus 'Kiss Me Baby') - My jaw dropped, and I was rolling around in stitches.  The simple reason for this is because before, Raja had sang such divine Godly songs and to hear him say the words 'Kiss Me Baby' just shocked me, because it seemed so 'out of the ordinary' for his character.  Although, I think that this was a very clever and carefully orchestrated move by Vishal-Shekhar, because they knew that his female fan following was growing rapidly and they had to make Raja have a more cross cultural, international appeal and boy did they succeed!!!  Raja sang this song brilliantly - I love the end part when he improvises!!!  Fantastic!!! 

Then Himesh had to spoil the party by mentioning Aneek and the fake love story nonsense again!

I love the ending to this video clip though, when Vishal states 'Aneek is number one today' and the audience disagree, (the people have spoken) they keep chanting Raja's name over and over again!
