I think what got into the hit parade in Sri Lanka was the Sinhala version of this. "Mustapaa mama mustapaa, upanne mama ehe arabiye. sasthara kiya kiya loke wate, yanne mama otuwekuge pitay" sung by Christopher Paul .which means " I am mustapaa born in Arabia. I go round the world on a camel making astrological predictions" - asrologers are still very common in Sri Lanka, and many seek their advise on matters concerning marriage, house building, and even to find culprits in a robbery.
This song has been dubbed into a foreign dance clip.

@ goonewj - thanks for the information.
@ jetliner11 - of course yes. not many of them, I think all of them are cheats ! ha ha.
but very funny that our people are silly enough to believe in their predictions.

This is sung by Martinas & His Orchestra. This is the version that was popularized by the Radio Ceylon. There are a number of others who sang this.

@Chrisanthie Exactly....There are very few astrologrs can predict things to a certain extent, but majority of them are cheaters in Sri Lanka.
