I had never seen this before, and found it offensive. The easy stereotyping of Indians as snake charmers, for one. Two, the cockiness of the lead singer. Apologies if there is a subterranean message here that I failed to glean. I could not bring myself to finish the video.
That's interesting. I wonder why no one noticed that before. I thought the implied relationship between the guy and the girl — rather animalistic, it seems — would strike many today as offensive. There's certainly nothing romantic about it.
