'One Pound Fish' rocks YouTube after Gangnam Style

BANGALORE, INDIA: In a busy, crowded market in east London, fish seller Muhammad Shahid Nazir from Pakistan sings ''Come on Ladies, Come on Ladies One Pound Fish. Have - a - Look, One Pound Fish, Very Very Good, Very Very Cheap.'' Does that sound ordinary to you? Well it isn't.

The song has received over 3.6 million views on YouTube and according to a report on The Sun, Nazir's 'One Pound Fish Song' has just reeled him a record deal with Warner Music. Warner Music executives reckon he could be as big as South Korean Gangnam Style star Psy and are pitting him against the winner of X Factor for the most remembered hit of the year.

Shahid moved to the UK just over a year ago with only a bag and the hope of making enough money to send to his wife and four children in Pakistan. On his first day working on the fish stall, Shahid's boss told him to shout to the customers to get their attention. He didn't like shouting so made up a song.

The song has managed to gain the attention of celebrities like Rio Ferdinand. Theere are also several remixed versions of the song that have been uploaded on YouTube. While the song has been loved by several viewers who are even looking forward to making this song their ring-tone, others question as to why a song that's so ''ordinary'' has got so much attention. Some are even commenting on public forums saying the 'One Pound Fish' sound like AR Rahman's 'Gurus of Peace'. To watch the 'One Pound Fish Song', click here.
