There was once a time when rock-stars would decline offers to endorse food or beverage brands, deeming the move too ‘uncool’ for the hardcore image that they boast. However, pursuing a career in music is not feasible in Pakistan. To make a living, you have to either endorse fizzy drinks and ice cream companies that back music projects or live with being a one-hit wonder.

After singing about the stereotypical Waderai Ka Beta and then throwing the creepy Taroo Maroo in the limelight, comedian-turned-singer Ali Gul Pir is now back with a third single, VIP. This time, as the name suggests, the track is about “very important people” or “big shots” who think they are above the all-so-ordinary awaam.
