With this post, the blog has reached yet another very significant milestone – 1000 films Yippeee’d, i.e. all songs covered.

This blog was started on 19 July 2008 with a modest aim of discussing one song a day. It was expected at that time that the blog would have at the most 2500 songs in all and by that time all the songs worth discussing would have been covered.

Had this blog stuck to this original aim, and continued at the original rate of one song a day, then the blog would have reached 2500 posts on 23 may 2015 (2500th day for the blog) and that would have been it !

As we all know, the blog took on an entirely different course from what was originally intended. The blog began to cover multiple songs in a day beginning from the 41st day itself. 2500th song was covered in the blog in 680 days (on 29 May 2010) with this fantastic composition by Ganesh.

When one looks at comments on this post, one finds just four or five congratulatory comments. And what about the blog coming to a dead end after this song ? Here is what I wrote in that article:

I have chosen to post this song for a very special occasion for this blog. This song is a very special song for this blog in the sense that it is the 2500th song of this blog. When I had started this blog, I had looked up to the figure of 2500 as the holy grail. I had thought that reaching this magic figure would take me ages and that by that time I would have covered all the great songs that were there to be covered.

I was wrong on these counts, of course. I have reached the magic figure in less than two years, and having reached there, I find that I have only scratched the surface as far as covering all the great songs are concerned. I now realise that the journey to cover, uncover and discover the great songs of Bollywood is a very long journey indeed and the holy grail is nowhere in sight. In other words, I will continue to remain busy posting “new” songs in the forseeable future.

From the few comments on the blog, we can only identify Raja and Lalitha’s names. Those were the days when most of our regulars, and by now, strong pillars had not yet joined the bandwagon. The practice of guest posts and lyrics contributions had yet to take root. The first guest article was posted on 26 June 2010 and not surprisingly, it was by Raja. The concept of lyrics contribution by readers began on 31 January 2011 when Atif M became the first lyrics contributor with this song. In other words, the blog was still a one man show by the time 2500th song was posted.

Concepts of guest posts and lyrics contributions took roots and wings from 2011 onwards and that added new dimensions to the blog. From a one man show, it became an online collaboration of like minded music lovers. With time, these music lovers would help add new ideas and concepts in the blog that we now take for granted, but which were not there in the blog during the first few years of its existence.

With increasing number of songs in the blog, pages were introduced that had all the songs listed moviewise, music directorwise and yearwise. One fine day, we got the idea that remaining songs of movies that had most of their songs covered should be covered as well. Mr Arunkumar deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia, pored over all the volumes of HFGK and compared its entries with the moviewise list of songs in the blog. He then listed out the movies that had one or two songs remaining to be covered. That was the beginning of the concept of covering all the songs of movies. This idea occured to us in the blog in April 2012. The name YIPPEE was coined for this feat by Pradeep Raghunathan a few months later.

It is not that movies were not getting YIPPEED before april 2012. They were getting YIPPEED but we were not aware of this fact. When I checked up, I found that the very first movie that got YIPPEED (unnoticed to us at that time) was “Rajnigandha”(1974) on 10 september 2008 when its second and final song was covered in the blog. That was the only YIPPEED movie in the blog in 2008.

8 movies were YIPPEED in 2009, 19 in 2010 and 53 in 2011. 89 movies were already YIPPEED in the blog by the time we hit upon the idea of consciously going for covering all songs of movies.

The first movie which was greeted with a YIPPEE by Pradeep Raghunathan was “Chitralekha”(1964) on 27 october 2012. It was the 117th YIPPEED movie in the blog.

167 movies were YIPPEED in 2012 and 202 in 2013. 131, 167 and 112 movies were YIPPEED in 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively.

2017 is a year when I decided to achieve one YIPPEE movie everyday. Though this new year resolution could last only upto april 2017, this determined approach towards YIPPYing movies means that we have already achieved 138 YIPPEED movies in 140 days in 2017.

Normally only one movie would get YIPPEED on one day, but there have been several occasions when two and even three movies were YIPPEED on the same day. The record is however four YIPPEED movies in one day, which was achieved on 20 march 2013. The four movies YIPPEED on that date were ‘Mera Gaon Mera Desh’ (1971), ‘Guddi’ (1971), ‘Roti’ (1974), ‘Taqdeer’ (1967). The rare feat was repeated on 23 feb 14 with ‘Kahin Din Kahin Raat’ (1968), ‘Prem Patra’ (1962), ‘Picnic’ (1966), ‘Post box 999’ (1958) YIPPEED on the same date.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Aandolan’ (1975). This movie was directed by Lekh Tandon for J K Productions. The movie had had Rakesh Pande, Neetu Singh, Pratap Sharma, Nazneen, Uma Shankar, Pinchu Kapoor, Urmila Bhatt, Tiwari, Vishva Mehra, Durrani, Kumar Ajit, W G Doil, Aparna Chaudhury, Shantanu Bhattacharya, Deepak, Rajkumar, Sopariwala, Robert, Vachan Sinh, Ram Awtar, Shrikant, Vikram, Rajesh, Sandeep, Master Ravi etc. in it.

There are four songs in the movie. Three of these songs have been covered in the blog. This fourth and final song from the movie is a rare song. This fun roadside tamasha cum nautanki song is Krishna Kalle and Minu Purushottam. Jaan Nisar Akhtar is the lyricist. Music is composed by Jaidev.

The song is picturised on Neetu Singh and another dancer I am not able to identify. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the first dancer.

With this song, ‘Aandolan’ (1975) joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog. With this song, the blog now has 1000 YIPPEED movies. Seeing that there were around 6000 movies in all in HFM that were released from 1931 to 1980 (the catchment area for this blog), all songs of nearly 1/6th of all movies released during this era are now covered in the blog. It is quite an achievement for the blog seeing that this adds up to about 6800 songs.

[Ed Note: In case you are wondering what is the name GM Durrani doing in the list of tags, watch closely. Of the two gentlemen watching this dance performance, sitting on a charpoy and puffing on hookkaas, the bearded person on the left, with black rimmed spectacles, is none other than GM Durrani. And yes, Rakesh Pandey is visible very briefly, his face covered with the cloth from his saffron pugree.]

baithh sadak pe khaaungi
paanch rupaiyya de de balamwa
mela dekhan jaaungi
paanch aane ke paav jalebi
baithh sadak pe khaaungi
paanch rupaiyya

mo pe khile
are mo pe khile gota jari
mope khile chunri hari
gore gale laage bhali
champa kali moti bhari
haaye bichhuwe bhi loongi
main to bichhuwe bhi loongi
kanganwa bhi loongi
tohe pehan balam waari jaaungi
paanch rupaiyya de de balamwa
mela dekhan jaaungi
paanch rupaiyya

achcha chaar rupaiyya de de balamwa
mela dekhan jaaungi
paanch aane ki paav jalebi
baithh sadak pe khaaungi
arre chaar rupaiyya

kajra laga

champa bhi jaaye
dekho champa bhi jaaye

un sang main bhi ho aaungi
chaar rupaiyya de de balamwa
mela dekhan jaaungi
arre chaar rupaiyya de de

arre teen rupaiyya de de balamwa
mela dekhan jaaungi
arre paanch aane ki paav jalebi
baithh sadak pe khaaungi
arre teen hi rupaiyya

arre main to bhayi balma tori
kaahe take chori chori
garwa tore laagoon tabhi
poori kare jab zidd mori
jhoole pe jhooloon
main to jhoole pe jhooloon
chak dolwa pe doloon
phooli na main samaaungi
arre teen rupaiyya de de balamwa
mela dekhan jaaungi
arre teen hi rupaiyya

bas do hi rupaiyya de de balamwa
mela dekhan jaaungi
paanch aane ki paav jalebi
baithh sadak pe khaaungi

tori kasam

kaahu se bhi
naina na main ladaaungi
bas do ghadi chakkar lagaa
saanjh dhale aa jaaungi
lautoongi jab ghar
lautoongi jab ghar
bajariya se thhak kar
painyya pare so jaaungi
do hi rupaiyya de de balamwa
mela dekhan jaaungi
paanch aane ki paav jalebi
baithh sadak pe khaaungi
uh
do hi rupaiyya de de
