Absolute Radio - Indian/Bangra music Jingle - what is it?

Hey Guys

the people over at ex-Virgin, now Absolute Radio have a really funny jingle that sounds like the start of some Bangra music. I have to be honest, it has me in stiches.

Anyone know what it is? Its gagging to be a new ring tone or message alert ...

Thanks! Should have posted back I guess but someone else on here also told me what it was called. I've successfully been annoying everyone I work with for a couple of months now

Lol that doesn't sound like bangra, more like 1960s/70s bollywood pop music.
