Those who think Gangnam Style has been laid to rest in the annals of pop history have never met these Harilela sisters.

Sherina Utamchandani and Hersha Chellaram's Mama Style - their take on South Korean pop sensation Psy's megahit - has received 12,500 views on YouTube in less than a week.

The three-minute, 42-second music video features "super mum" Utamchandani rapping about the joys, and pains, of 21st century motherhood.

"It's crazy how much attention we're getting," she said. "It all started because my sister and I are always chatting about how chaotic it is juggling part-time work and being a mum."
