Wife and I were having a discussion the other day about Sitar music after Ravi Shankar died. I asked whether she like any of it. She said no. I said I thought I liked a song or two, but couldn't think of any songs. Finally remembered it was in BJ Thomas' song Hooked on a Feeling. Other than that I didn't care for it. Love Ravi's daughter, Norah Jones though.

The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" uses a sitar (though I read somewhere at the time they recorded it, George Harrison hadn't yet learned how to hold it properly).

Norah Jones was on an episode of Sesame Street and did an absolutely hilarious version of her big song. On Sesame Street it was, "Don't Know Why 'Y' Didn't Come."
