Title: Dinga Dinga Dee! Post by: Rattler on 27 December 2009, 05:01:04 "Dinga Dinga Dee!"
What do yout think that might mean? Frankly I have no clue either, but it is the central claim of a promotion video of Israels´arms firm Rafael for The Aero India 2009 fair held in Bangalore... Consequently this vid was dubbed "the most atrocious defense video of all times" (http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/12/armsdog-millionaires-lead-2009s-parade-of-iron-eagles/) by Wired´s Danger Room team. Quote We broke a few stories here in 2009. And we had some laughs. But I think I can speak for the entire Danger Room team when I say that the absolutely most enjoyable moment of the year came in March, when this Bollywood-esque promotional video surfaced from Israeli arms-maker Rafael, featuring bare-midriff girls, flower-draped missiles, and the catch phrase “dinga dinga dee.” I think they definitely got that one right, see to believe: StratPost.com: Israeli Rafael's Indian promo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQOLO4U5iQ#normal) Rattler Title: Re: Dinga Dinga Dee! Post by: Koen on 27 December 2009, 12:26:05 is it correct when I see this vid as an Israeli dude seducing an Indian girl?
or Israeli arms factory seducing the Indian people? Title: Re: Dinga Dinga Dee! Post by: Rattler on 27 December 2009, 17:08:29 ...er, Jilly? What do you see that like? xangel
Rattler Title: Re: Dinga Dinga Dee! Post by: Jilly on 27 December 2009, 18:00:37 Well, I have no idea what 'dinga dinga dee' means either. I have a feelings it's just a nonsense phrase, as one would say 'sha la la la' in a song. Mind you I'm not fluent in Hindi, so I could be wrong. My fluency is in Punjabi. Although I can understand most of the Hindi language.
What a strange clip, no? The guy looks more Israeli than Indian. Although he could be Indian, sometimes it's hard to tell. I think it would take more than just dancing girls to seduce the Indian population, into any kind of mind set. I saw the missile though, strange. So, what the heck is it all about then, Rattler?

Ask me!?! I am totally flabbergasted and only know I fully subscribe the DR team assessment, w/o knowing shit about the culture in depth, really (even "Bollywood" is something from another planet for me)... I know I would feel offended (with my cultural bkgnd, of cause) as an Indian. Because of the stupor it caused me, I brought it up. Rattler Title: Re: Dinga Dinga Dee!
