I was wondering if anyone could help me make a list of songs and/or albums that show the influence of Bollywood style film scores. I was introduced to the song "Toxic" by Britney Spears recently and clearly the violin riff is a typical B'wood riff. I noticed (and k. d. copped to it in interviews) a B'wood influence on k. d. lang's "Ingenue" album. But I can't come up with others just now. Sure, there's a history of Indian musical influence that dates back to The Beatles, but that wasn't a B'wood-specific influence.

Let me know if you can think of others.
