SRK vs The Beatles: This hilarious reel debates the origin of ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’

This Bengali-Italian creator couple go toe-to-toe over who created the iconic melody

The melody, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da has different meanings for people, depending on which part of the world they come from. For the West, it reminds them of the iconic song by The Beatles from their 1968 eponymous album, written by Paul McCartney. But for those of us in India, it reminds us of the violin-wielding dreamy Shah Rukh Khan from Pardes, making Kumar Sanu’s voice come alive. 

Our favourite Instagram creator couple, Mango and Basil aka @aamandbasil brought this cultural contradiction to light in their latest Instagram reel, where the Italian wife was overcome with the desire to listen to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, only for her unassuming husband to do the iconic SRK hookstep. The disgust on her face was in sharp contrast to his devotion to King Khan, making us go #rofl. 

Which song comes to your mind when you hear Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da?
