Youku video for those in China after the jump
On August 14, 2009, YouTube user tammyiscool uploaded a video in which she sings the Pakistani national anthem to “wish Pakistan a happy independence day.” By all means, the video — which you can watch after the jump — did well for itself, garnering 538,767 views (as of this moment) with a 95 percent like rate. She posted a follow-up in September titled “chinese girl sings jazba-e-junoon for eid (eid mubarak!)” that did pretty well too.
Earlier today, she posted the above “to let all my Indian friends know that China loves India too.” We should be impressed by the fact that she sings pretty decently in Indian, which I’m going to assume is not her native tongue.

Tammy, bless your heart. We eagerly await your next piece of work.
