Content

The song has a humorous tone and is sung from the perspective of Dr. Bombay, a rice and curry chef who operates a restaurant in Calcutta while his uncle, a rice farmer, is on holiday. His eventual frustration with the negative response to his food leads him to re-brand his rice as glue to much success.

The setting of the video is "Dr. Bombay · Flaming Hot Curry", a tented eating establishment equipped with strobe lights and elaborate live entertainment. Throughout the video, Jakobsen and the supporting dancers are seen rushing with water pistols to extinguish the flaming breath of customers who have eaten the curry.
