Sweet! That's the one I was talking about, at least, though wasn't it longer? That really is a classic, though not as widely seen as their 80's promos.vanus, 13. July 2006, 22:36

anyone know the song that's playing in the background? I want to play it at my wedding.kevathens, 14. July 2006, 14:29
Siraj Jhaveri's website says this was made in '97 (check), and is :45 seconds long - so this is the correct length. I love the Internet, and this promo, really. It's been keeping me entertained for a couple days.. (Someday I'd love to get in the head of Abby Terkuhle, who supervised excellent MTV work in the 90's..)kevathens, 14. July 2006, 23:44
finalstarman: e-mailed Siraj, he told me it's "Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani" - a Bollywood tune from the 70s. Apparently it's from Jawani Diwani, and was written by R.D. Burman.mongey, 15. July 2006, 06:34
The mp3 is available here".The rest of the songs in streaming audio is available here.

thanks for finding that out! I've listened to it all day. that energy is something lacking in most western music.
