78 rpm Records of Indian Music: Hindustani Comic Song by Mr. Muradaly & Others

I have no information on “Mr. Muradaly and others.” But as I was pawing through a big stack of 78s in the middle of Chor Bazaar years ago, my eye was caught by this record.

How could I resist a “Hindustani Comic Song”?

“Chalo Jung Kare” translates roughly as, “Come! Let’s go to war,” and indeed the military is clearly being lampooned, what with bugle calls and all. Do I detect some dialect humor?

Enjoy.
