Blame the
one-hit wonder thread for forcing me down this particular rabbit hole.
So, about ten years ago, there was a Eurodance novelty act by the name of Dr. Bombay.
The Swedish singer,
Jonny Jakobsen, was as white as the driven snow. But as faux-Indian Dr. Bombay, he wore a turban and Euro-rapped like an accented motherfucker. His two big hits were:
Calcutta (Taxi, Taxi, Taxi)[youtube=425,350]q6r1GrApjiM[/youtube]
Rice and Curry[youtube=425,350]dTiMV1Vv1Tw[/youtube]
After his album came out and made people laugh but failed to chart, I figured this was the last we'd see of him.
BUT NO! Instead he just changed the target of his racialist songcraft. Enter:
Dr. Macdoo, faux-Scottish Eurotrancer, with "Under the Kilt."

Dr. Macdoo failed to catch on, so Jakobsen now has a faux-Mexican persona, Carlito, who as far as I can tell is
only being released in Japan (and Sweden).

His latest single is awesomely DOUBLE RACIST, as it is about Carlito visiting Moscow.
WATCH THIS VIDEO! It's like being strung out on E on a transatlantic flight (but with fewer backrubs).

Anyway, wow, what the fuck, people.
