Watch: When Elvis Presley Danced To Punjabi Beats In A Viral Mash-Up

The 'King of Rock and Roll' dancing to Punjabi music is not something one would expect to see - but anything is possible with the miracles of modern technology. A video that is going viral on Twitter shows Elvis Presley 'singing' and dancing to a Punjabi song. The rock icon grooves to some catchy desi beats in the clip that has delighted thousands of viewers. 

The clip, in fact, is actually a mash-up of the late American singer's Jailhouse Rock music video - set to the tune of Aaja Ni Aaja by Hardeep Singh. The mash-up was shared on Twitter by Indian-born American lawyer Preet Bharara, who wrote: "This is the most brilliant thing on the internet right now." Watch the video below:

@GetVideoBot I bet if I show this to my mom, who watched Bollywood movies as a Soviet kid, but still doesn't really care who Elvis is, she would not suspect any doctoring done here - it's so incredibly organic! ????

Mash-ups have become all the craze on the Internet of late, and the trend has given rise to some real gems. Earlier, a video of K-pop band BTS dancing to the song Chunnari Chunnari from the 1999 movie Biwi No 1 had taken the Internet by storm. More recently, rapper Badshah used the video of Channa Mereya to promote his song Baawla.
