Oh, god, the Jonas Brothers are going to be the inspiration for 20s bollywood aren't they

[@diptanuchakraborty8493]

That's why 60s had soo many way ahead songs

[@MrTCBJERRY]

Elvis Presley was the inspiration for everyone whether it be Indian American or any other nation that's why he was the king. There will never be a comparison to him. Long live the king Elvis Presley

[@swapsakpal08]

difference between copycat and inspiration

[@arnabkhan1618]

Mithun chockroborty was big fan of Elvis Presley

[@vineetbhatia8270]

Shammi Kapoor fully copied Elvis Presley

[@yakshitchauhan7808]

Artist of the fuckin' century ❤

Bollywood has been copying since the dawn... in the past most viewers couldn't pin point but now there is Internet LOL

I am so disappointed in Bollywood

[@yajuvendrasinghrajpurohit7888]

I hate Bollywood now

[@manav6721]

Shammi kapoor built his entire career aping elvis presley

[@Drsashisekhardubey]

That's not inspiration that's stealing 😂😂

[@pmajudge]

ABOLUTLEY !!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Mr. ELVIS PRESLEY !! SUPER GREAT !! FROM, U.K. (2024).

[@aourablue8326]

60 s bollywood had no clue that in 2024 people will have internet 😂

[@mohitrohilla8060]

many copy scene or music of movie but shammi kapoor fully copied the Elvis...from look to dance nd even way of moving his hands...stupid...copied others talent to show himself talented...

[@feroznandanwar]

Sahi bola bhai

[@shivendrayadav9704]

You shouldn't be making such useless comments like that. How many India would've understood this man's song? And don't forget how much years had it been after independence and Shammi's era. How would native culture develop in that case? Dont disrespect our flagships buddy.

[@subhasisjoshi8135]

@@shivendrayadav9704 since others do not have access to an art , is it okay to copy that and say it's his/her unique style and when finally it out in the open say ..well he brought this form of art to people. Every art is inspired by something other or even copied but Bollywood is an ungrateful copy industry

[@shivendrayadav9704]

@@subhasisjoshi8135 I agree on that with you bro, I'll quote one most recent example, 'Woh subha hami se aayegi' from BegumJaaan '17, this song was written by Sahir Ludhiaanvi, I found it on many websites that 'Kausar Munir' was attributed as a lyricist to this song .. So you see..

[@loading8502]

Lol and he here is famous for that as original lol

[@Hwoman1123]

It's an inspiration not a copy.. following is not a bad thing. Bollywood had still put its own contributions to each of its versions .. it's not easy to pluck a tune from a different culture and make it fit to another .....

[@lol-de2yk]

Ghnta😂 it was copy stop defending crap idiiot creep who grown by watxhing indian shit

[@d_mgaming8448]

they copied elvis so perfectly but noone can copy today

I call it copy. Not inspiration

[@neelashmitdas3374]

If Indians only dishonor their art who else will appreciate. Shame on them disrespecting our culture I am proud of the 60's era even if it is copied

[@neelashmitdas3374]

@Monkey D. Eren Uzumaki no i am not ashamed at all instead i am addressin my freedom of speech if you have a problem then you can leave.

[@chandrajitkarmakar2333]

Not inspiration...he was the King and Bollywood just copied

[@OSTemli]

I see that's why bollywood music bad this days as Hollywood music are bad too

[@deepakjoshi823]

Mujhe to yh pehle se hi pta tha! Aur haan 'Sammi Kapoorji' ne 'Elvis' ka dancing style aur gestures copy kiye the!

[@mitboricha9]

Kuch bhi mat bolo haha 😂🤣

[@suryakalpande6672]

America...,.

[@firemandkdkdk]

Oh hell no: With all due respect to Elvis, "Jaan Pehechan Ho" , Mohammed Rafi | Shankar Jaikishan , Laxmi Chhaya & Herman Benjamin are totally unique and deserves their place in cinema ... one of the coolest songs / dance numbers ever ! And two years later ," Gulaabi Raat Gulaabi" from " Upkar" (1967), sung by Asha Bohsle , music by Kalyanji Anandji, while Laxmi Chhaya does her magic is truly awesome ! ...And Shammi Kapoor's acting holds up pretty damn well to any 50's / 60's USA "Musical" number , even if he is always lip synching to Mohammed Rafi: and I don't speak a word of Hindi, just watching it with subtitles is pure gold. I guess you just have to like old movies / music in general to appreciate both for what they are ..and the audience in India got a bang for their buck for sure ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp-lk52Zas2gntE&ab_channel=UltraBollywood kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5aQYolpht59i5o&ab_channel=Aryan

[@gamingdragon1356]

It's not copied, it's called being inspired or rather imitation. Elvis Presley was the biggest singer and entertainer ever. The entire world was following and imitating him.

[@johnanderson6946]

sorry but most of the world dont know Elvis presley.....dont think im spreading hate im a big fan of him....its just that Elvis isnt THAT famous outside United states like Michael jackson is

[@JonOmega-mf4dm]

​@@johnanderson6946You are an Inferior pajeet Dravidian larping as an American you are just jealous that Elvis is popular all over the world even your Srk copied him

[@EliaSalvdr]

​​@@johnanderson6946Most of the world don't know Michael Jackson either you IGNORANT 😂 The nonsense that Michael Jackson has over 5 billion fans is totally made up and silly to believe in that dumb lie😂 Actually Less than 1 billion people know about Michael Jackson!! The world population is 7.9 billion! So less than 20 percent of the world population know Michael Jackson! Hence Most people don't know about Michael Jackson EITHER!!

[@EliaSalvdr]

​​​@@johnanderson6946Insecure toxic childish wacko jacko fans like you as usual compare him obsessively to Elvis!!! Then you say Elvis is nothing but you can't stop comparing wacko jacko obsessively to Elvis.

[@EliaSalvdr]

​@@johnanderson6946You're sooo IGNORANT if you think that Elvis is only famous in the USA 😂 Elvis also is well known in Europe, Central Asia mainly in Japan and Korea, in LatinAmerica! Elvis would have not sold over 600 million copies if he was only big in America! He was big worldwide and still is!!! That's why people still draw inspiration from him! He continues to inspire some top pop artists of this generation!! Bruno Mars was inspired by Elvis!

[@manojjha1733]

yes u are right

[@arghyajadav3825]

Manoj Jha shut up

[@manojjha1733]

Arghya Jadav why????

[@atishandrade6745]

Any one knows the Bollywood song copied from Wooden heart....m having a very bad brain itch... please help...

[@KonknniGitam]

It was "Kitne Phool Kitne Ped Kitne Panchhi Yahan" from the 1984 film Teri Baahon Mein. Copied by Bappi Lahiri.

[@gabbar51ngh]

And Elvis also took from black culture. Everyone takes it from someone and is inspired and then it's tweak down to their audience. Old Bollywood was actually pretty good. Many foreign jazz singers find old Bollywood music similar. Pearl harbour also took it's plot from an old Bollywood movie. So vice versa happens too sometimes.

[@champflowahbomb7630]

He definitely did NOT TAKE from black culture. The era he was born in, Americans were extremely poor and poverty was unimaginable. If you ever feel broke, just think about how awful people from the 30s and 40s in the depression had it. So because of poverty, black people white people and even Jews lived together in same neighborhoods. They all were around each other singing and dancing the same tunes. So essentially, their culture is the same because when your poor you are just that...poor. poverty doesn't care whether your black white Spanish. And to deal with their conditions, these people sang and made merry. I hate it when people accuse Elvis of stealing. Everyone is so cynical and ready to tear down success nowadays! Jeez, just enjoy the fact we had such a great artist because no matter what, he was lovely and made music we can't get away from even today.

[@umasankariyer8107]

Hypocrisy at its best. If the other way around we would have sued them. If we feel they took from us, even if it's not true, we shout at the top of our voice and when w E are caught coping, we find such flimsy excuses. Time Indians grow a spine

[@umasankariyer8107]

Apologies. Spell check ruined the content. However, I hope I was able to get my point across

[@johneli495]

You are an idiot, black artists from that era had nothing but great respect for the King

[@sameerchaudhary465]

@@champflowahbomb7630 Hey he didn't steal but was definitely inspired by them! Almost everyone from the 50s-60s era discovered the old blues gems and was used it to make something of their own. Being poor doesn't mean you can't inspire a generation 😉If not for blues we wouldn't have anything. No Presley, no stones, no Hendrix, no Clapton, no Zeppelin, no Pink Floyd, no doors, no jazz, no rock n roll. Can you imagine that? Yeah it would suck.

[@senpaihere6512]

so we're a bunch of copycats right from the start

[@yogeshkakade7275]

Actually it's Latin American jazz, Bossa Nova,

[@adityaacharya1799]

It's not inspiration

[@bmwduran]

did the bobble heads start from there? maybe they forgot to stop moving heads in normal conversation? or did Elvis copied south indian bobble head movement?

[@desiguy55]

that was his own style of dancing that was copied by indian performers.

[@EliaSalvdr]

Elvis Copied Indians you asked?😂😂😂 That's a Good Funny question 😂😂😂😂 Elvis never copied Indians😂😂😂 If anything it's Indians that Copied Elvis😅 a clear example is Shammi Kapoor the so called Indian Elvis😅

[@EliaSalvdr]

In Fact Americans never copy Indians😂 it's Indians that copy take from American culture! Hollywood---> Bollywood 😅
