Boymongoose – 12 Days of Christmas
Boymongoose comes together with Scorpion Fist in this brilliant adaptation of a Christmas classic.
But in this hilarious Desi Christmas song, the true love isn’t sending ‘A partridge in a pear tree’.
Instead, they’re sending Boymongoose ‘A totally insufficient dowry’. And the brilliant Indian themed lyrics continue throughout the Desi Christmas song.
The true love in the track also sends three butter chickens, eight Bollywood films and eleven minutes of yoga.
Despite its release being back in 2012, this is a timeless Desi Christmas song classic which you can watch here.
Superwoman – Jingle Bells (Desi Version)
Also coming out back in 2012 was the hilarious Indian version of Jingle Bells by the YouTube star, Superwoman.
Once again, this Desi Christmas song is full of brilliant references to South Asian culture.
The music video begins with guests coming over for a traditional Desi Christmas party. But with the party boring most of the visitors, the mum encourages Lilly (Superwoman) to show everyone her rapping skills.
During the catchy track, we find that samosas and dosas are the reason why “auntie has that back.” Shahrukh Khan is, of course, the star on top of the Christmas tree before we see a ‘Jus Reign-deer’.
And there is much, much more. So find out why “all the rishte run away” by watching this brilliant Desi Christmas song below:
