In my case I’ll say either Bloodhound Gang’s The Bad touch or Aqua’s Barbie Girl.

I mean… what the hell is “hanky panky”.

But for bonus points, I did also sing “take a walk on the wild side~” with no flying clue what “giving head” was supposed to be.

    The only artist I can think of where I did this is Dr. Bombay.

    A Swede/Dane pretending to be Indian doing a lot of crazy stuff.

    What is probably his most well known song is Taxi, taxi, taxi! Where he sings about being a blind taxi driver in Calcutta, the music video was recorded in Malaysia:

    Then there is this song about him taking over a relative’s restaurant, notice the frogs os in the soundtrack…

    Then he made this sexist song about how he want a wife who cleans, cooks and washes laundry for him, it is made with humor, so how serious it is I can’t say:

    There are more songs by this character, but the guy behind him then invented the same character to Dr. Mcadoo a crazy scotsman…

    This time the songs where more focused on partying:

    So a bit more generic…

    Then he reinvented himself again into a carzy Mexican called Carlito.

    I have not found any live action music videos by that character.

    Here is his most well known song as far as I can tell:

    I was wrong, there is one live action music video by Carlito:

    Then he went away, only to resurrect Dr. Bombay a few years ago…

    Dr. Bombay would never have got off the ground these days, the idea that a Swede/Dane could pretend to be Indian would just not be acceptable.

    He still performes live and does ok from what I can tell, I am happy for him, but starting this kind of act these days would not work.
