Just showed this to a friend the other night. It's a go-to vid for me to introduce to people. I really enjoy watching it. Great acting, great concept and cool music. I wonder what made them choose the song? Could it be that it stands as contrast to the "english" being spoken? If so, it's a good call... it works.

Ha, I didn't even realize the song was in a different language. I thought it was made up, too!

It's beautiful, isn't it? I don't know why they chose it, but I want to find more music like this.
