And now for the 1st time on this blog, here's a cover of a Hindi song in a Western track. There are many such instances, but I loved this one so much that I had to start with this.

Song properly credited. Here's his acknowledgement "The track “Bang Bang” features a sample of “Meri Nazar Hai Tujh Pe’” sung by Asha Bhosle music by R.D Burman and lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi licensed courtesy of Saregama PLC."
And this is what Pete tweeted: "Hi Guys, I just want to address the sample used in the new Apple iPhoneX advert. It samples a track from the great R D Burman's 'Burning Train’ and it's a MAGICAL piece of music! It was cleared/licensed via Blurred Recs courtesy of Saregama. Everyone is on board and loves it. ;)" How elegant and authentic. Now imagine Pritam/Anu doing this.

And then listen to WANTED song ishq vishq pyaar vyaar kar le. ..
I find similarities in the background music.
True that! There is a distinct similarity. Will listen to it a few times more before I add it to the list. I'm not adding inspirations with subtle similarities into the list as a lay listener may not be able to make the connection. Thanks for this.
