Important PSA: the WhatsApp forward doing the rounds about Daler Mehndi's Tunak Tunak Tun having 168 Tunaks and 64 Tuns is FAKE NEWS. I fact-checked and what I found will shock you. (1)
The original video is 5.03 minutes but many YouTube videos of the song are the 4.17-minute version. I played three different uploads of both versions and checked against the lyrics on two sites. In the longer version, the line is sung 29 times and in the shorter one, 25. (2)
There are 6 Tunaks per line and 3 Tuns.6x29=174 and 3x29=87. 6x25=150 and 3x25=75. Neither version has the numbers 168 and 84. You're all welcome. #selfisolation #coronavirus
Re my 1st tweet, the WhatsApp forward says 84 Tuns, not 64. Typo.
