Bombay Vikings were formed in 1994 in Stockholm, Sweden. The three experienced musicians met when Mats introduced Neeraj Shridhar and Oscar Soderberg to each other. The band was born primarily due to a common interest of Indian melodies from sources such as Hindi films and classical music. Neeraj became the lead vocalist and back-up guitarist, and also composed pop rock, jazz, hip-hop, soul, and reggae songs. Mats played the saxophone; as a jazz specialist, he used this knowledge while composing for the new band. Mats and Johan Folke, keyboard specialists, used their years of exposure to the different genres of music on the synthesizer. They were soon joined by Morgan on the drums, Par on the bass, and Staffan as the lead guitarist. Bombay Vikings began performing live shows in Sweden and Norway. When all the musicians got together and began jamming, they didn't know they would be coming out with a new form of music, but they wanted to do something creative for India.

An image song or character song is a song on a tie-in single or album (often called an image album or character album) for an anime, game, dorama, manga, or commercial product that is sometimes sung by the voice actor or actor of a character, in character. It is meant to give a sense of the personality of the character.
The export-friendly anime Ultimate Muscle has had its titular character singing about his South Korean dinner in many episodes. It is the same old pioneering modern day image song (presumed English name: Cow and Rice song) that made the show so popular among the Anglophone fans, ever since it first invaded the American screens on September 14 2002.

Not just a cross between Melodrama and Comedy, It's also the darker and moodier equivalent of Dramedy. A lot of Telenovelas nowadays are full of this, and some crank this Up to Eleven.
Edith Gonzalez was playing the snooty Rich bitch Monica on a melodramedy called Corazon Salvaje in 1993.
