Will.i.am’s It’s My Birthday is UK number one, has quite a cool Vine-based video but I’m glad he didn’t even try and compete with the original. It’s based off a Tamil song composed by A.R.Rahman called Urvasi Urvasi from the film Kadhalan. Watch the video, it’s like Vanilla Ice meets John Hughes meets Seven Brides For Seven Brothers via the Indian Subcontinent. I can’t help thinking Will is stealing moves here from M.I.A…but it at least introduced me to this ace track, and the bonkers Pettai Rap, which starts strangely with a Bob Clearmountain sample CD spoken intro!
