Entertaining Sales Pitch Songs – 3
—————————————————–
Aha,
lailaa ki ungliyaan hain
majnoo ki pasliyaan hain
do do paise mein le lo babu
naram taazi kakdiyaan hain
I remember this jingle from childhood. Occasionally used to hear it from the roadside hawkers, and once I even heard it in a radio play on Vividh Bharti. Then many years later, I encountered this song also. I used to wonder, whether the song came first or this jingle came first – which is based on which. As I prepare this post, just casually I googled it, and found references to Lucknow and Agra where fresh vegetable vendors are known to use this jingle. So maybe this is more of a folk tradition, converted into a film song later on. Just like “Jumkha Gira Re Bareilly Ke Bazaar Mein“. 😉

Mohammed Rafi : The incomparable – Song No. 01
—————————————————
I think it is time to go back to the pavillion, meaning my comfort zone. Or I should say my favourite comfort zone of Rafi songs. I have been ‘ beating about the bush ‘ for the last one year and writing posts of various series. ‘Chandni raaten’ is still going on, as far as I know. Some songs are lined up for it, but I have not been able to find enough enthusiasm to write a post for some time. So no more ‘beating around the bush’ (this idiom is closer to what I mean by it), going straight to the matter of ‘Mohammed Rafi: The incomparable”

Today (5 january 2014) is the 33rd death anniversary of C Ramchandra (12 january 1918-5 january 1982). He was one of the earlier pioneers of HFM and his contributions in enriching and adding variety to it is second to none. He one one the earlier music directors to adopt western music in HFM. And at the same time, he also composed songs based on folk music as well as those based on classical music. And he was a decent singer as well who sang over one hundred songs as a playback singer. And he could deliver under very tight schedules. He composed all the songs of “Aazaad” (1955) in just a few days and that too without compromising on their quality.

Finally the idea takes off today.

It is normal for people to express concern about “Bhrastaachaar” (corruption) in our society and country and it is also normal to believe that the society and country will be a better place if corruption is weeded out.
But what about the other point of view ? Suppose that corruption goes away and the society and the country turns over a new leaf overnight. Will we then have a nation of our dream ? Not quite. Absence of the deep rooted systems that are in existence in our lives will lead to utter chaos. 🙂 At least that is what this satirical song suggests. 🙂
