Loved this scene from a 60's Indian film which Terry Zwigoff excerpted to kick off the opening credits of his film GHOSTWORLD. Fantastic music and a great kitschy musical number. Apparently this is the best scene in the entire 1965 film, "Gumnaan". Everyone wants to know is the band really, 'Ted Lyons and His Cubs.' as it says on the drums Somehow I think not, but its a great name! The singer on the track is apparently Mohammed Rafi.
I think the 'bad' choreography is genius (or is that a non-sequitur?) Finally found out a great deal about Gumnaan here:

Using this "movie within a movie" was a brilliant way to open Ghostworld, intercutting this song and musical number with short glimpses into people's lives as the camera pans past windows of houses before coming rest in the room of one of his main characters, played by Thora Birch. Enjoy and rent Ghostworld if you've never seen it: Its a well directed great indie film with 3 terrific performances from Thora Birch, Steve Buscemi, and a young and still very natural Scarlett Johansson.
NEWSFLASH: God bless YouTube - and basebase5!
