Tunak Tunak Tun is a 1998 Punjabi pop song by Indian singer Daler Mehndi, released as the title track of his album of the same name. Its colourful music video, built around Mehndi dancing against animated backdrops, helped it travel far beyond India long before social video platforms existed. The song later found a second life online, where its repetitive chorus and energetic dance became a staple of memes, reaction clips and dance challenges. That combination of nostalgia and instant recognisability keeps it in regular use today.
