 Though Bollywood is infamous for lifting tunes from Hollywood, this time it’s a different story altogether. This time one of the tunes from Hindi films has been used in an international venture. The song is the hit number 'Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja Aaja' from the Mithun Chakraborty starrer ‘Disco Dancer’. The same song is now being used in the Adam Sandler film ‘You Don't Mess’ with the Zohan. The song was composed by ace composer Bappi Lahiri nearly 25 years ago.
Bappi Lahiri is elated about the feat. "It's a great feeling. I am naturally elated as this is the first time in history that a Bollywood music composer's two songs have made it big on the international circuit. After 'Kaliyon Ka Chaman' made it big internationally, now 'Jimmy Jimmy' is featured in the Hollywood film You Don't Mess with the Zohan. In fact the song 'Jimmy Jimmy' was first used as a remix by the band M.I.A. in their album last year. The song went on to become a big hit. Now with the song also being featured in a Hollywood film, it's a double success for all of us. It's a great day for celebration for any Indian. It’s all thanks to your love and blessings", says the veteran music composer.
