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.

How about "Work" by Kelly Rowland?
Cheers!

There was the notorious Addictive by Truth Hurts from 2002 which sampled Lata Mangeshkar.
Wyclef Jean's latest album has a track called Bollywood to Hollywood which, interestingly enough, does not sample Bollywood as much as it samples the melody from a classic Egyptian tune, Enta Omri. -
