If the hero is a non-singing type (like Dara Singh) then the onus of singing falls on the tender shoulders of the heroine (typically Mumtaz).

This happens with me many a times. I listen to a song and like it. And then I forget all about it. I have no clue about the identity of the song, except that it was a song sung by a particular singer.
