The song has become a big hit in a country that has seen a string of military strongmen, the last of whom was Pervez Musharraf. Speculation swirled earlier this month of a coup when President Asif Ali Zardari abruptly left for Dubai over a heart ailment.

The video shows politicians and says "rise, rise-u, cheat, cheat-u, our future dark-u".
