[edit] "Indian Thriller" meme

A viral video involving Donga stems from a scene featuring a song called Golimar (Shoot the Bullet). The scene contains choreography and elements which appear to be very similar to Michael Jackson's music video for Thriller (which leads to the common name for the video, "Indian Thriller").

A popular parody of the video is a version by Buffalax entitled "Indian Thriller with English lyrics", featuring subtitles with English mondegreens of the lyrics, producing lines such as "Girly man" instead of "Golimar", and "Salty Shanty's One-Shot Tea". He has also done similar videos for other Indian and foreign music videos.^[1]
