Music Videos to make you Cringe - 2

This one deserved a post all to itself:

sun re, from Sun Re (2005)
singers: Abbas Ali Khan


I was looking for the video of this song to add to a Music Videos to Cherish post, but I thought this one might have been a fan-made video. But after some confusion as to why this video was appearing on most of the entries, I saw the whole thing and the singer's lips, to my surprise and eventual almost-devastation, were matching the lyrics.

"Bling!!?" was my reaction after I had stared at the screen for a while. "Epic Fail" is what my brother would say, and I would not hesitate to agree. I spent about half a second to consider that maybe this was a new, artsy way of contrasting different styles of video but I gave up that idea in the other half of that open-minded second.

This is just outright injustice. I can't even point and laugh at the video because I love this song. This song was in my feel-good playlist. I listened to when it rained softly and I was feeling emotional. When I missed someone, when I felt lonely. Now I have bling and smoke and jokers burnt into my memory. :(
