Hi all

The group Black Eyed Peas won the Grammy for best rap performance for
the track Don't Phunk With My Heart.(the video with a 70s tv game show
cncept) The track has two compositions of Kalyanji-Anandji, rendered
by Asha Bhonsle - Yeh mera dil pyar ka diwana from the film Don and Ae
naujawaan hai sab kuchh yahaan from the film
Apradh. Also the song,"Dont Phunk" has a very distinctive 70s hindi
film cabaret orchestral arrangement. Whenever I see the video I
imagine Helen singing," no no no...mera dil na todo(dont phunk with my
heart...ha!) surrounded by cigar smoking smugglers,the middle class
good woman,heroine sitting in a corner drinking Cola and an incontrol 
police Inspector in plain clothes having a commanding birds' eye view
of the dramatic situation.

3 expected Indian entries Asha Bhosle and Anoushka Shanker and Tashi
Bapu couldnot make it . The official grammy nomination entry reads as

William Adams, Printz Board, Stacy Ferguson & George Pajon, Jr.,
