Elephunk Theme

I first got wind of this from the I2FS site. The Black eyed peas have taken an obscure Ilaiyaraja song and did some sort of remix of it. The album in Elephunk. The song is "The Elephunk Them". It is amazing that it is not some famous creation of Raja but a pretty ordinary nothing composition. The lyrics are awful to begin with. Why this song?
