Thanks guys! I heard this on the radio awhile back, but didn't know the title or artist, but I thought I heard Jay-Z in it. Now I know it wasn't just my imagination. :)

Punjabi MC, heard it on AudioGalaxy a long time ago.

Post by BlazeFox » Sun May 04, 2003 1:47 am

I've heard of Punjabi MC via the mp3 downloading service called "AudioGalaxy" (which I believe to be dead now because of some RIAA court battle) though in the song I downloaded I do not think I heard Jay-Z anywhere. It was just a guy singing in indian and the KR theme in the background. Still an okay song though. I suppose with the 80's coming back they must have remade the song?

Knight Rider theme is on the Billboard charts again

Post by RerunKR » Tue May 06, 2003 12:31 pm

A new recording utilizing elements of the KR theme is climbing up the Billboard charts. An artist called Panjabi MC with Jay-Z have a new record release (it was already a European hit) titled "Beware of the Boys" (Mundian to Bach KE) on the charts. It's #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop single sales chart... #21 in Hot R&B/Hip-Hop sales... #21 on the hot 100 R&B/Hip-Hop cart... #40 on the overall Hot 100... all with a "bullet" as greatest gainer. Maybe this will help convince the powers that be, concerning the movie, to use the KR theme... and perhaps, even consider hiring Stu Phillips to write the music. This is the third time in the last few years (Busta Rhymes/Timbaland and Magoo) that KR has been a hit. But this is the biggest yet.

actually The part of the song By Panjabi MC, "Mundian to Bach KE " is an older(by Old I mean a year or 2 old) Indian Bhangra song that has been around for a while the only new part is Jay-Z rapping over the song.

I tried to find a single or album this is on but with no luck. Anyone seen an official release either on a single or album of Beware of the Boys?

I just check and Amazon has it for $7.99. A shame there isn't a sample to listen to.

Found a sample. Really sets the tone of the song well.

http://www.panjabi-mc.com/bhzonline.htm

Both the songs "Mundian To Bach Ke" and "Bach Ke Breaks" have Knight Rider samples in it. Will need real audio to play.

I thought this might be of interest to those who want to know exactly what Punjabi is singing.

I don't think I've ever seen this one song mentioned before, it's called Bug A Boo, and throughout the whole background of the song, it's got the Knight Rider theme playing.

It appears to be made my DJ P-AIR (Knight Rider Remix) - at least that is what my Winamp is telling me.

I don't normally listen to songs I don't know, but this one caught my ear after I found my daughter playing it.

Anyone have any more information about this one song?
