Jai Ho.

It turns out Skype is for Slumdog Millionaires--and an Bollywood Oscar song winner.

Indian composer AR Rahman won twin Oscars for best song, "Jai Ho" (Hindi for "Be Victorious") and best score for the film "Slumdog Millionaire" last Sunday.

The Wall Street Journal reported that next day he released an English version of the tune with the Pussycat Dolls.

The Pussy Cat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger does the vocal, singing the chorus: "You are the reason that I breathe/ You are the reason that I still believe / You are my destiny."

The remix was created in mid-January with contributions on three continents. Rahman provided input via Skype from India, working with songwriters in LA and the touring singers who popped in and out of studios in the UK.

As I write this, I'm listening to the song here in Chicago, having downloaded it for 99 cents from iTunes. What a world, huh?

The English version, from Universal Music Group's Interscope Geffen A&M Records, is hitting a high note so far with Western fans. It's in the top 50 at iTunes. The original version is No. 10.

Jai Ho. Indeed.
