Chanced upon this interesting piece of info on the net.
This Romanian song, Vorbesc Cu tine Nu Ma Auzi by Liviu Mititelu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUpF9-BKWIM is a complete beat by beat rip-off of the famous Bangla song "Bhromor koio giya" by Radharaman Dutta, rendered by Fuad/Armeen Musa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pFPUIDopyw
So much for desi rip-offs from the west...
