[chriskittelberger]

ASIAN!

[calvinandhobbesfan11]

never say something is hilarious in the description. I nearly exited this video because of it.

[jareddisco]

erm yeah. No one likes "yellow". everyone wants to be an Indian. yeah..... stupid.

[AndroidDeRossi]

really creative n funny!

[supernuobi]

There is real racial harmony and religious harmony when we can all start joking about each others...

[gwinIS200]

your voice is pretty damn good mate

[jonkkk]

Would like to ask what percussion setup you were using? Very nice (:

[mambo69]

@jonkkk its a djembe with a tambourine.

[p4pedwinkhan]

LMAO

[Tomahawk1505]

lyrics are a little lame, but the instrumental is brilliant

[Zalafina]

Dude, I'm Chinese and from Singapore, but damn, I gotta say, you have a really great voice, and I wasn't offended by the lyrics at all. It's all in good fun anyway. Lovely music video. Cheers!

[chinsian]

it's really nice. nice lyrics. and you sing really well.. Keep it up =D

[BafflinBook]

If you don't the people around you can go back to India or maybe come to Malaysia here.....

[VICHDOCTOR]

[YouuTubeHelpCenter]

[4lafs]

clever. coldplay is pissed that you actually made sense of this song.

[hamasakimy20]

he is sing well and this lyric quite funny weh

[ouyangyh]

[CoolJohnDog]

I thought this was hilarious

[Cr4yZnPsyCh0t1c]

[AnthonyND]

[VGAFilms]

wierd and slightly racist

[kiwanaboy]

very

[1st1972]

i think it's really yellow, little blue but very red!

[sufeean]

OMG its hilarious... I showed it to my chinese colleagues and they were laughing their arse off... (P.S. I think we're also guilty of classifying Indians by their skin colour too). How come calling a white man, white isn't racist?

[kachda]

at least the babe was hot

[Poolutat]

chings..hahahahahahaha

[BrokenTHGurl08]

This is surprisingly not funny to me...

[crazzziee]

hahaha! but its all gd

[crazzziee]

And so i go to school

and everyone thinks they're cool

but they were all yellow

[mayangluvne]

Gr8 video Bro. U hav very gud voice. 5 stars al d way.

[aaghir]

i think this video rocks, its strange, every time i tell a chinese to visit mustafa, they make some silly commet about how scary it is to go there on a sunday(to be surrounded by blacks) can you imagine how scary it is to be surrounded by yellow every where you go all the time

[VICHDOCTOR]

I TOTALLY LIKE,..TOTALLY.... agree. to this.

and on top of it all,... we hv mainland yellow to deal with,.. uncourteous, impolite, no sense of train, bus, or any other form of non bicycle like travel discipline. god bless us.

[llxllkhushi17llxll]

yeah....ima fkin indian...n i hates livin in india..DAMN..grrrrrrrrr...=(

[sleeevy]

Oh and btw was this beach on St. John's island? Looks much nicer than a lot of them on the main island.

[sleeevy]

Haha this is funny. I'm Singaporean Eurasian (Chinese/German/Dutch (American)) to be specific. coldplay is also my fav band lol. I've always felt that Singapore has greater racial/cultural/religious harmony than most places (US included). Although there is racism, its not as bad as most places. We should all just be proud as Singaporeans, a country where all can live together :)

[DefeatADDnow]

That was pretty funny, but I got a major thing for yellow girls.

[rooflee]

[choksn]

Well done... the lift scene was too funny. :)

[Briyani]

[redzpep]

Haha wow! Dude, u've got a pretty decent voice! Loved e lyrics too man! E video was abit cheesy, but hey, its a spoof about us yellow skinned munjens anyway haha...

But i gotta know too, was this some like project or just an inspirational whim u got one day while hanging out with your "yellow-skinned" friends haha.

[mambo69]

haha.. yeah it was part of a media project.. :) and me munjen friends were my inspiration!

[c0rrin3]

Sexy voice :) Was this some kinda media project?

[xhydeist]

man, this is my first post ever. gonna post cos ur video is funny n the singing is gd as well. im yellow as well. haha.

[desiderata]

Super funny. Thumbs up from yellow girl. :D Btw, I thought the lyrics should be "your skin, oh yeah your skin and TONE" instead of bones?

[mambo69]

it is skin and tone.. listen carefully :) thanks for the support!

[stawbewwy]

This is a truly awesome video! :) Loves it! Dude you have an awesome voice too!

[thegreatsze]

Two people have been offended by this video (so far): nickhideki and purplesmile1. My response below is addressed to them, but anyone else who wants to read is welcome to.

... thegreatsze.blogspot

[lctkw]

i don't think the video's all that great, but ok lah quite amusing. however i'm really astonished at the people who find it offensive - lighten up, guys!

although as a sidenote, i don't think the average (singaporean) chinese skin complexion is anything near yellow. have always wondered why we're stereotypically labelled that colour.

[daddict]

hahaha. I'm Chinese and yea, I found this video wonderful. :D Thanks for the laughs.

[jldlin]

chinese here: you rock!!!!! man i'm going to go for brown girls too! yellow girls bore me!

[mambo69]

noooooooo..... dont steal the few we have... haha

[covaloch]

LOL this video is teh shit. I'm indian/chink so uh.. i'm confused la. wahhaa. And why should u feel insulted mr purplesmile. lol.

[oiying247]

absolutely awesome!

i laugh at racist jokes all the same, towards any race... it's nothing seditious... they have an uncanny ability of being exceptionally funny at times.

hahaha! all you uptight people, just laugh! come on, it's funny!

[purplesmile1]

i actually found this video very offensive Dr Watson

[purplesmile1]

i found this video to be rascist - you are calling chinese people ~YELLOW

[mambo69]

well well... look what we have here... a sherlock holmes

[jemauvais]

If you step a little out of the box to think about it, while it might appear to be racist, the video instead is highlighting the underlying racism of the Chinese majority against the minority races.

I'm Chinese BTW.

[kelvinvijayakumar]

Hello Bro, well done, Is this this song , about your direct reflection and thoughts about Life in singapore...Brings back good ld memories bro, was there....the exact steps (NUS-steps RBR ,hall) , the Sandy beachs in ECP...Was there 25yrs ago......... The "yellow" was too much "..... I left with my "brown g-friend ...now happy with a "brown family of 5" cheers buddy.

[xplode79]

I like this version way better than coldplay's. They suck the big one! lol

[robmitch777]

he had to put the signature hindi movie move huh running around the tree

[bjornwigeman]

Cool video, Vin!!!! Didn't know you could sing, and didn't kow your take on yellow girls... :-)

[lwfsel]

Hey the lyrics in the chorus is supposed to be 'skin and tone' not 'skin and bones'

[LAZADALEDGEND]

dickhead u cant be horrible about coldplay there awesome

[vanae12]

awesome job vinod!

[PalmJumeirah]

people who think this is racist should really lighten up. come on! its just a fun vid. and a good one too. (i'm chinese, btw).

[nfpk]

hahahah thats jks. im indian too and i have to say, some asian girls arnt that bad man, give it a shot lol

[brownbabie1017]

[sajurohiko]

This video changed my life...

Not!!

Boratt...

[lianhanshee]

hahahahahahaha!omg. this is best thing this goddamn country has next to Lush FM. next time i wanna throw my book at the tv mobile screen playing chinese gameshows (i am speaking for everyone, right,hm, nick?), i'll think of u. oh and ur cute ;)

[gwkg]

Nice Vid. I'm Chinese btw. Keep it up dude~!

Somethings should be hidden, some should not. It's only with awareness that allows 4 greater understanding! In this case, I think you've done a cool job highlighting those indiosyncracies of society and ethinicty!

But hey the truth can hurt! if we're gonna be aware abt something, then why don't we be aware and laugh at it?

PS(Some will love you, some won't. don't let the negative comments bother ya!)

[jatinsd]

funny, and true...

Good job there mambo. You've done very very well. Kudos

To nickhideki, seriously, you have to lighten up. Racism is a fact of life. Everyone has been guilty of it at some point. This is hardly racist, but merely a classification based on colour. If anything, its a stereotype, not an act of racism.

[nickhideki]

The domain in question is open for all to view. Some, like you have stated, may be supportive, and some, may not.

[nickhideki]

Like I have said, I am not Chinese myself, and I do understand the subtle light-heartedness of your posting, but since the line between the tension of stereotyping and the acceptance of idiosyncrasies as you put it as is so hard to define, it is best that videoclips of thesesort of sensitive issues should be measured with greater responsibility.

[nickhideki]

Dharma Bloom, wth are you talking about?Can't you see that only the negative attributes of the Chinese are being highlighted in the song?stereotypes with skin colour?Dude, did you actually watch the video?

[mambo69]

indians were reffered to as brown.. and made fun of at the end as well... did YOU actually watch the video?

I dont know if u noticed the amount of support for the video from chinese? All of them are able to laugh at their little idiosyncrasies, as should indians and anyone from any culture. Thats what makes us unique. Btw, if you've ever reffered to a caucasian as white.. ur guilty as well...

[nickhideki]

Mambo69 -Pray do tell me, what is the point of this video in the first place? Willing Participants eh? What about the people that will get offended viewing this video?Have you thought about that Miss demolitionqueen?Mr Paintmepurple, the reciprocation of racism by minorities is warranted eh?the lesser of 2 evils?

Sigh....Like I said to some of ya, If i'm wrong, I do not want to be right.

[nickhideki]

I find it offensive. bad taste.I don't care about the actual lyrics because just by referring to a person by his/her skin colour is racist.

[mambo69]

it just shows that you cant embrace diversity. :)

[nickhideki]

Hmm embrace diversity?you segregated two whole cultures by referring to them only by their colour of the skin?If I'm wrong, I don't want to be right.

[dharmabloom]

it's only racist when you associate negative attributes or stereotypes with skin colour..in my opinion. Lighten up man!

[smeenaz]

this is so funny!! hahaha..

[demolitionqueen]

how seditious can it be? or racist? there were willing chinese participants.. its just funny. laugh at yaselves people. =) Anyways... u've an amazing voice Mambo69.

[paintmepurple]

>> bloody awesome!! i hope people will just laugh at this and not blow it up because its not as if indians have not been talked about in a "racist" fashion...

[onefinalhit]

so when is this gonna get coverage in LIFE! Let's see if there's gonna be a big fuss over this, with threats of sedition and what not.

[mambo69]

wat sedition?

[onefinalhit]

remember the sedition act? and that guy who got into trouble? i'm just waiting for some unreasonable controversy to come out after this. i'll be shocked if nothing happens

[mambo69]

i know what sedition is... im saying there's nothing seditious about this.. its a humourous play on stereotypes, even indians were made fun of... but then again.. controversy is always good :)

[onefinalhit]

i was being sarcastic. of course there's nothing seditious about this. im just saying i wouldnt be surprised of pple accusing it to be just that way.

[RheaRenae]

Mambo69! You must be one of the minority indians looking for a brown girl when so many other indian guys look for a chinese one. Funny nonetheless

[zig2101]

that was extremely funny. and by "funny", of course, I mean "racist". at least it was creative though.

[Bubviv]

Friend forwarded this to me and i thought it was great. I'm glad it didn't turn out to be yet another corny spoof of an MTV clip. Lyrics-wise i thought it came through well enough.You have a nice voice which suited the song and complimented it well. Good job.

[pranama]

Brilliant dude!!

[mystikalsel]

we all live in a yellow submarine next?

[darthx2010]

Dude, that was AWESOME! I need a brown girl in this yellow world, priceless..

[iikangu]

the male lead quite sexy...

[mambo69]

thank you ;) i really hope ur not a guy...

[Charizzzle]

This is hilarious! Partially because it's so true.

[navinsaigal]

this video is awesome. 9/10, and the 1 is just cos some parts get a little blurry...probably cos of youtube quality tho...

[manasg]

Are you gonna post the lyrics separately?

[manasg]

Duuuude! Way awesome! And Gwen rocks too!

[wkaihong]

vinod dude! That's really cool haha, especially when u wear a windbreaker on sentosa's beach lol. Gwen stole half the show by just bouncing up and down haha.

[wkaihong]

or is that marina south beach or east coast?

[mambo69]

east coast

[nkaiting]

It was entertaining. And I like ur smooth transition from natural to falsetto voice. Some suggestions... I could spot ur earphone when u r singing on the beach. So that makes it slightly unnatural. Maybe could use a black earphone. Also, instead of having so many scenes of you on the beach, try having a short clip with close up shots of you singing. Mesmerize people with ur eyes and facial expressions. That'll make the whole video even better. I look forward to more of ur songs and debut.

[raine248]

lame as it is.. my sis n i agreed that the voice was not bad~! =) upload ur 'chasing cars' yeah?

[tairesseau]

If i were him, i'd beat tha crap outta that annoyin girl with them balloons! Video was great..the beginnin was great. You know the sun is out but you can't see it. Sets the tone for the yellow under/overtones throughout the song. The lead standing on the beach is exposed and hence imposed on by the glare of the sun. The lift bit was great, a (re)presentation of singapore (territory etc) in/through the meaninglessness of modernity (lift architecture etc). Lyrics of the song rocked!

[dasherkua]

who is tt ugly chinese girl?

[raine248]

there's more than 1 chinese girl and they're hot k! =)

[angjunjie]

nice vocals and effects! haha Gwen's bit is like so duh... (roll eyeball)

And the other female lead looks hot! haha

[bjornlee]

like the effects, good work with the post-production editing for the short time u spent. but yea, only thing memorable is gwen's cameo.

[thonislim]

ooohh i wanna marry u whether u r yellow or not! U can cut an album with that drop-dead gorgeous voice *swoon*

[dlorraj]

some nice video editing, dude. But Gwen stole the show...lol

[jitsion]

I really like the song and its meaning to the singaporean community. No problem on the joke since we are used to it.

I really love the photo transition effect and the lift scene ! COOL @@! Maybe could have zoom in at the singer at the beach abit more often.
