My Name is Anthony Gonsalves is a popular comic song from the 1977 Bollywood film Amar, Akbar, Anthony. One unusual feature of this song is that the actor featured in its picturization, Amitabh Bachchan, provides vocals along with the playback singer Kishore Kumar. Amitabh speaks and Kishore Kumar sings[1][2].
The song was written by duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal. The character Anthony Gonsalves is named after a music teacher of Pyarelal who was one of the most famous music arrangers in Bombay in the 1930's. He had among his students the likes of RD Burman apart from Pyarelal.[3].
In this screen shot, Anthony emerges from an easter egg at a party. In the scene, he attempts to begin his relationship with his love interest, Jenny. Special effects are used for comic purposes.
My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves (2007) is also the name of a Bollywood film currently in production.
