NOT to pay bribe song should be in all regional language, it will understand poor people and teach a lesson to looters of our country.
Make interesting & song should attract every one.

The comments bring out two things- There are a lot of Good Citizens as the video/artists has been appreciated AND There are a lot of Engaged Citizens as concerns about quality at ipaidabribe are expressed. They expect Superlative stuff from ipaidabribe. Congrats! You are on the path of bringing change in India! But, ofcourse, the video would be well placed at youtube, but is misplaced here. Can't help it Team-ipaidabribe, have to express, as it is only you who have raised our expectations from you. As for the children/artists let them take this as a push to do better in future. And children just know how to be fine and get finer! :)

As sales professional who has dealt with government departments on behalf of private corporations and done business worth crores, I want to share that I have hardly ever bribed and restricted myself to small corporate gifts. In getting personal services too, I have never ever bribed. I think all government officials are bound by rules and proceedures, which are time consuming and also perhaps creates opportunities for delaying matters. People, who follow rules and regulation and proceedures and have patience for tolerating delays ultimately have their way through. Citizens charter bill and more and more online interface in providing services shall reduce delays even. But inspite of my personal good experience and chance to deal with mostly good and upright officers, I can't say corruption is nor around. It starts at top and spreads that culture downwards.

This is a very nice initiative, though i see room for progress and bringing in a mass appeal. Continue the good work and stay dedicated.
P.S. I would like to help with the song, I am a traditional flutitst and I think that could give the masses something to relate to as paying a bribe is now a tradition in our country. Write to me at sharrom_y@hotmail.com

Respect the sentiment. Totally support the cause. But the song is not doing anything. If you want to use music (and that IS a great device) create an anthem that shakes people up. Sorry to have to say this.

This song, I believe, would inspire the young and not-so-young to not paying a bribe. Anything that could help in the Herculean task of cleaning up the public life in this country should be welcomed. Well done!

Very Good effort, I do not agree to the last comment-maker. You have passed on the message, the purpose is served, that`s what matters.
Today bribe flows in our blood stream, for any thing and everything you prefer the short cut - pay the bribe and get the work done. We do it in our homes, in daily life with our near and dear ones?

Quite sad and uninspiring. It could have been better if some established poet/lyricist was approached for the job. Words like "the blood which bleeds only money" sound ridiculous. Just compare this with our national anthem. A national movement deserves something far more fervent and provoking, so that people are galvanized into action.

this is a very ordinary effort and is hardly commensurate with the scale of the movement. with apologies to the performers, i sincerely advise ipab to stay clear of diluting the anti-corruption crusade with such avoidable initiatives. music is an all powerful medium and can definitely work up the masses... but half-hearted productions and sub-standard music like this can have an opposite effect. apologies for these strong thoughts once again.

My humbly request is that please not make this channel for enjoyment and western music. News Channels in India showing the story of leaders and officers hands in mass corruption. But it is not affecting directly to the common man.
Common man facing harassments from low level staffs of government departments. Please show such a song common man can understand the meaning.

It is a very good initiative by a goup of ameturers. The song is composed well and sung very well. The guitarist as well as the girl who sung the song need an appreciation in the light of the current situation. They have tried well and suceeded in bringing the message loud and clear. I thank Janaagraha for their effort.

1. Lipsing is not matching the song that is sung, hence, loosing a lot of its effect.
2. Lyrics should have been more meaningful and better.
3. Music is nothing special in comparision to something as special as ipaidabribe.
4. The whole thing as a package doesnot touch the chord.......
I mean........it doesnot match the quality of initiative called IPAIDABRIBE. It has to be internationally appealing and unique, as unique as ipaidabribe.
Sorry, if my opinion hurt anyone. It is not meant so, but to say that it doesnot match up to ipaidabribe.
songs should be all languages

music is great but lyrics suck, and make the song lame.
the song won't catch on as there is no powerful message in it.
