My ears tell me it's the exact same version they used. It's SO WEIRD to hear this original. And it's not an Indian wedding song, it's just a song called "Not Enough Love."

I listen to funky 70s Indian / Thai / Turkish stuff and this was in an amazing comp called Luk Thung! The Roots Of Thai Funk. Felt like I was in the Twilight Zone when this track came on!

Had you heard it before? Been listening to Kuntz since around 1988 (age 16) and never thought I’d hear the original.

Ha!! Good find!!

I always figured they'd used some obscure asian folk song, instead of creating it entirely themselves.
Wiki has it listed as Kong Katkamngae, performed by Phloen Phromdaen (uncredited).

This here is supposed to be the original song.

I often see it referred to as being by Thai Shotgun, for some reason.

The story as I remember it is Gibby and Paul heard it playing in some Thai restaurant, possibly while intoxicated, and bought the tape from the proprietor.
