Released on September 4, the video has already amassed more than 780,000 lakh views on YouTube. The boys, in highly-accented Punjabi, sing “Jehra bomb sutt maar duga, balliye/Tera baapu hai Laden taan nahi.” A loose translation: “He won’t throw a bomb and kill/Your father is no Laden."

The rap part of the song even says “Tera bapu hai Laden , taan mera hai Obama (If your father is Laden, then mine is Barack Obama)!”

The video even shows a toy plane hitting the World Trade Centre twin towers, a reminder of the 9/11 attack.

Gill, singer of the original song which has more than 20 million views on YouTube, also makes an appearance in the three-minute video.
