On hiatus/dead :(
As far as I'm concerned, the fan-made music video that introduced me to Daler Mehndi is as old as the Internet. It's still hosted on Dannel Gomiller's site, LordOfDance.com … and as of somewhat recently, YouTube as well:
When I originally saw that video, it was in a file named daler1.asf, which I still have, but can't play. It was almost too blurry and compressed to make out, which I guess is what qualifies the YouTube version above as "HD."
(If you have the time, check out his other videos as well, especially My Puppy Bobby. I've been a huge fan for forever.)
Anyway, ridiculous video, right? What I didn't know until I went to find the original video to write this post was that his dance moves were ripped straight from the original! Here's Daler's version:
The Lord of Dance ripped off his moves! ;p
So if you want to get the full version of this song, iTunes has has it. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't have the MP3, but there are a few CDs for sale, including this one with Tunak Tunak Tun on it. Check Last.fm for related music, and Wikipedia for a little history! Phew!
