I can’t hide how in love with this song I am right now. There are times for clowning around with your friends making music, and there are times for seriously attempting to create social change. What if you marry the two? That’s what three brave young Pakistanis have done with this viral video that directly challenges Islamic fundamentalism and corruption within their government. They probably are risking death for this, and that seriousness mixed with the cheeky lyrics make “Aalu Andu” my favorite song right now. Plus it’s catchy. Read more about the song over on the Sunday Guardian.
