Kiwi fans of the hit Tanglish song 'Why This Kolaveri Di?' surprise shoppers in Auckland's main square. (Previously).
This is the best Kolaveri cover. That's all.

Dancing/singing flash mobs are definitely in the spirit of Bollywood, where people seem to burst out into elaborately coreographed song and dance numbers every 5 minutes.

I often feel intimidated by haka, but this one was really good-natured. Perhaps it's because it was performed by a mixed group.

Oh New Zealand, you so cute. But I'm confused by the comment above; how is this haka? I thought the whole thing was Indian, both the music and the dance. Is there a Maori thing going on I missed?

Tanglish = Tamil + English. These are Indian New Zealanders, not Maori.

The giant Santa 10 seconds in was recently listed as #1 in Cracked's list of Unintentionally Creepy Christmas Ornaments.

Yet another reason why I love the new New Zealand.

It's an extremely professional-looking video they made of it, too. Was this part of some sponsored thing or ad or something? Also, I couldn't see where the music was coming from. Did they set up speakers in advance, or was someone playing it on a personal system...?
