Most pop songs in India come out of its movie industry — the famous “Bollywood” based in Mumbai aka Bombay — and this tune is from Blue, released in late '09. It’s a big-budget action flick shot in the Bahamas — something about an underwater treasure guarded by sharks — but being Bollywood, you also need your big musical numbers, of course. Composed by A.R. Rahman, who did the music for Slumdog Millionaire, for this one they snagged Aussie dance diva Kylie Minogue to duet with leading Indian singer Sonu Nigam (the song goes into full Bolly-mode after Kylie’s part — she sings in English, he in Hindi). Those two dudes you see wriggling around Kylie in the clip, though? They’re the movie’s co-lead Akshay Kumar and supporting actor Zayed Khan (Sonu Nigam doesn’t actually appear in the video, but is lip-synched). And as you can no doubt guess, “Chiggy Wiggy” don’t mean a darn thing.
