Mid-Week Song

London-born Tamil/Sri Lankan singer M.I.A. (Maya Arulpragasam) had her 2008 hit song, "Paper Planes," appear on the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, as well as the popular movie trailer for Pineapple Express. It's certainly an offbeat tune, that features the sound of a cash register and gunshots (!) as part of the percussion. The video was filmed in Brooklyn.
