Does anybody remember the name of those dancing turban guys?

[FelixDeCat]

A couple of years ago, you found them everywhere but now you cant find them at all and I dont remember what it was called. It was three Indian(?) guys in colorful clothes standing next to each other with long beards and wearing turbans. They all had one arm out while the other arm was waving in the air and they were dancing.

There was a popular animated gif based on this and the clip was all over youtube. Does anybody remember this or did I just imagine the whole thing?

i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure you are referring to Dahler Mendi and his "hit" Tunak Tunak Tun. except the beards are not long and there is only one man being filmed.

The flash cartoon is called Dollar Mending, making fun of the guy's name.

I like the way this starts out with the (Islamic?) chanting. What search terms would I use to find something similar. I have some Emusic downloads waiting for me, and would like to get an album of that kind of material.

The video is funny, but the tune is catchy. I like all kinds of music from all over the world. Hopefully somebody knows something.

I read about the guy on Wikipedia and I think he's singing in Punjabi.
