Have you ever noticed how Bollywood music always talks about love, life, and emotions, and how Bhangra beats has the reoccurring theme of a good time and plenty of booze? While Urban Desi music is a little bit more diverse, if often deals with love, hate, parties and heartache. With such a vast number of topics, we have managed to come across a few tracks all entitled "Tonight." What's the deal? Check out the tracks we found and tell us what you think!

Jay Sean has given us hit after hit. Who doesn't remember his single "Tonight?" The catchy beat and poetic lyrics caught the attention of fans all over. Now let's take a deeper look at the song. Jay is planning his evening with someone special. He has certain intentions and is convinced he's going to get his way.

What about that summer banger "Tonight?" Which one you ask; remember Baba Kahn's hit featuring Fatman Scoop, Kardinal Offishall, Lomaticc, and Sunny Brown? This song became one of DH's favorites. The hard hitting beat made it a hit in the clubs too! All the artists on this track are also interested in a lovely lady. They are going to disregard the weather and just revel in the night. From her Jimmy Choo shoes to her mesmerizing walk, we can see where this song is headed.

How about the newest track by band Swami entitled...yep you guessed it, "Tonight." This single was featured on the band's compilation album "53431" and will also be on their upcoming release. Their "Tonight" is currently hitting the music charts and will slowly climb its way up. Swami, what's your obsession with "Tonight?" Seems like we are all living in the present and this girl is extraordinary, so make the most of the time we have, well, tonight.

No matter who says it, feels it, sings it, when you meet someone special you've got to act in the moment and pursue what it is within that day and night. Each song has an entirely different beat, sound, and vibe yet they all encapsulate the same story. You've heard just three different songs dubbed "Tonight," do you have a favorite? Let us know.

i listened to all 3 'Tonight' songs. Jay Sean can't get into, his voice is too high and too much of that 80s Wham and George Michael s reminiscent sound. Kardinal Offishall has that great reggae beat, which helps you move, but parts of the melody are discordant so throws you off. Swami has the electronica rhythm and consistent beat and sound throughout the song. Its sophisticated and urbane.
