Don’t smoke sutta!

When I saw one music video called Sutta Mix, “Don’t smoke sutta“, which is doing the rounds of music channels these days, the tune sounded familiar. I googled for the lyrics and found that this anti-smoking sutta mix is actually a video response to a pakistani solo “Sutta na mila” by Zeest, which is dedicated to all the smokers and dopers. The remix version by DJ Shezwood is performed by Saru Maini and features Meghna Naidu in the video. The original sutta song is very popular among college students in India (I’m not one, so I never heard the song before 😛 ).

I read that “Sutta na mila” has a liberal usage of hindi swear words, so it was not showed in music channels in India. Even interviews of the band by The Hindustan Times and Star news were blocked. Curious me checked out the lyrics. Geez!! It’s funny but it really has lots of extreme abusive words towards the end specially.

The pakistani band Zeest, who performed the original, is angered by the remixed version, which has been made without their consent.

“Sutta na mila” had become a hot underground college hit. Sutta lovers are blasting the remixed version and even has a sutta remix hate club communty on orkut (well nothing new, there are hate clubs about all possible things on Orkut)

As I’m totally against smoking, I actually liked the whole idea of a video response with a message to quit smoking, as opposed to the original Smoker’s anthem, but at least they could have made a better one with original tunes and better video, not just a cheesy pirated version.

I didn’t like the remixed version, but it is playing on my head, thanks to the constant ramming from the channels. Also, I’m angry after reading the lyrics of the original one as BBB is also a smoker, who has still didn’t quit completely even after so many rounds of lectures from me. Hmmmm I’m actually tired of years of convincing smokers to quit smoking. 😐

Sutta– Colloquial Indian term for Cigarette.
