Almost every '90s Indian kid had a Linkin Park phase growing up. One of their biggest fanbases resides on this side of the world.
Band co-founder Mike Shinoda decided to give them all a shoutout earlier today by tweeting this very desi pun on their lyrics for their new song "Heavy".
Shout out to Linkin Park fans in India.
In case you're not a fan, the original words are "Holding on. Why is everything so heavy?"
But they weren't done there. Lead singer Chester Bennington got in on the act by tweeting his own naan pun on the chorus of "Numb".
@mikeshinoda I've become so naan I can't taste you there
That was all the encouragement their fans needed, as everyone soon started tweeting naan puns back at them.
@ChesterBe @mikeshinoda I’m caught in the Roti Dough, just caught in the Roti Dough
@ChesterBe @mikeshinoda One thing, I don't know naan. It doesn't even matter how hard you naan.
Many, MANY naan puns.
@ChesterBe @mikeshinoda you take it all , and i was by your side naanless 💗 frm india .
@ChesterBe @mikeshinoda it's Easierrrr to NAAN replacing this BREAD with something FUN 😅😅😅
But in the end, what the thread revealed was that there are a lot of Linkin Park fans in India just wishing they'd tour here.
@mikeshinoda plz come to India. We r waiting
And they'd better do it fast, because they've been waiting for a long time.
Make it happen, guys.
