The song you are searching for is "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai" and it's sung by Lata Mangeshkar. It comes from the famous Bollywood film "Jyoti".

Avatar arrives late in thread, posts way-out opinion, turning thread into violent tennis match between himself and thread alpha male / punky runt.

Other posters (now 'audience') jeer, yet lurk in stalls, intrigued.

When Avatar scores a point against alpha male / runt, hisses erupt from stalls. 'Leave off, he's not feeling himself today!' Avatar realises he has fatally failed to check phatic / grooming threads before weighing in.

Avatar, switching metaphors dangerously now, calls star witnesses to court; Shakespeare, Picasso, Chomsky and Lenny Bruce. 'Audience' pronounces Shakespeare, Picasso, Chomsky and Bruce cunts.

Thread continues for 536 more posts, 385 of which are from Avatar.

Avatar leaves message board for six months / minutes, or however long it takes for shagging and making pop records to seem less interesting than spinning out threads.

Admittedly, I quite like being insulted, admittedly. It keeps my interest intact. And is anyone else up for insulting? As Steve Gerber demonstrated in issues 113-121 of Daredevil, the dark veneer conceals a hideous underbelly. And is anyone else up for comparing me to Ross Kemp? Admittedly my features might be somewhat obscured today by the 543 Proper 4CD box sets which I bought at a rock bottom price in the HMV sale.
