From the time I listened to this number yesterday, the song keeps playing in my head and I should say, quite addictive! By not posting about this, I don't mean to take anything away from the greatness of the song!
From the beginning, I'm guided by some ground-rules for this project. Rather, "definitions to classify a song as hit". As we all know, things can get very subjective in the case of some songs, while certain others are unquestionably big hits.
So, my simple rules to qualify a hit were like this :
a) Songs that need no reference or that automatically play in mind when I read the title get included (e.g. 'iLamai idhO idhO' of SKV)
b) Movies / songs that are listed in thiraippAdal / rAkkammA but do not sound familiar should be given JUST ONE LISTEN. And if the song sounds very familiar / plays back from memory etc, it gets included (this is my own way of qualifying a "hit"...e.g. 'manjappodi thEykkayilE' of sheNbagamE sheNbagamE)
It's true that my familiarity is excellent between 76-86 but progressively decays in later part of 80's (Palakkad effect). It becomes drastic in the 90's (kudumbappoRuppu effect).
Which is why there'll be an "app-missed-list" that will be posted about after I end this series, which will possibly happen by end of May.
So, I'm trying to be responsible and sticking to the project guidelines.
There'll always be "post-launch-enhancements" :lol2: Already, A_S is tracking the missed ones. In addition, I'll be e-mailing an excel sheet of the list already posted, possibly with embedded links, at the end of the series. That'll be available to any-who-asks-for. That way, it'll be easier to add more hits.
In addition, we'll have ongoing special posts from V_Sji (on both posted ones and possibly the missed ones) :-)
So, my serial numbering is not the end of the world :-)

Even some of those numbers possibly got into the cassette by SPB telling rAsA 'dEi, indha track singing arumaiyA irukku - pAvam, appadiyE vitRalAm' :lol: (This is my guess, for the 'dEvan kOyil deepam onRu' song...however, I hardly hear the SNS version as SJ's version thoroughly killed the male one).

Yes I watched it about 6 months ago :) He Said that SPB was in singapore for recording during that time, hence rAsA asked him to sing the song as a track singer, and that when SPB returned he returned back to TN , SPB appearently said to rAsA, "dEi ithE nalla irukE ithaiyaE pOttudu" and rAsA obliged !!!Quote:

'vaigai nadhi Oram ponmAlai nEram' from rickshaw mAmA, with SJ
For some reason, the phrase 'kaL vadiyum pookkaL' got stronger memory recall than the first line that SPB sings or the tossed literary line that SJ sings prior. Sweet song by the star pair from another movie that I don't know much about. Net sources say a P Vasu + Sathyaraj combo movie. Sathyaraj was doing MGR-like-acts from time to time and the movie title possibly had something to do with that (rickshAkkAran to rickshA mAmA).
Coming back to the 'kaL vadiyum pookkaL' thingy : since VM was the first to coin this for the 'Ayiram thAmarai mottukkaLE' song, this seems to be a suruttal by the lyricist (whoever it is). Interestingly, that phrase also brings to mind the image of actress NaLini sitting on the front bar of a bicycle in a cinema poster (with her typical intolerable smile). That poster was for the movie 'kaL vadiyum pookkaL' :lol2: There were some tfmpage discussions & dhool articles on songs from that movie, MD-ed by Shyam.
The other funny thing that always comes to mind about 'kaLLu' is the sign boards of 'kaLLu shops' of Kerala, when I first visited the state during my +2 days (I think in the year 1980). TN had prohibition those days and the TN kudi makkaL had to go to other states to drink. So, while no other shops inside Kerala had any kind of Thamizh sign boards, all those kaLLu & chArAya shops -not just the border towns of Kerala but even in villages inside the state -had their boards with kaLLu or chArAyam written in Thamizh :lol:
Rickshaw mama is one of the umpteen sathyaraj-gounder combo movies of 90s forever immortalized by aNNan's genius. It also holds the infamy of unleashing baby sridevi on us. It is another matter that Sridevi grew up to become the best "figure" from the Vijayakumar household. Those days Sathyaraj tried all 3c1, 3c2 combination of khushboo, bhanupriya and gauthami. Viz khushboo and gauthami(this movie), khush and bhanu(brahmaa), gauthami and bhanu(magudam), khushboo alone(nadigan), bhanu alone(pudhu manidhan, pangaali), gauthami alone(velai kedaichidichu).

'thanga nilavukkuL' of ricksA mAmA
A very soothing SPB solo song with an irritating male chorus chant in the 2nd interlude (there's also some intolerable female sound prior to that). Possibly a vaLai kAppu song - I wonder if the hero sings for his sister or some situation like that. If Sathyaraj is seen on screen singing a song for the vaLaikAppu of his sister, that would be the ultimate comedy for me :lol2: Plum or someone who watched this movie : please post about the sichchuvEshan. I'm suffering from curiosity:-)
The short flute responses to the singer's calls are exquisite delights! This song used to be a regular on Cbe area buses, much like the other Sathyaraj songs that we've discussed in this thread. I'm not very sure whether it enjoyed the same level of popularity from the rest of TN :roll: Also, I remember listening to this song a few times on Kovai vAnoli which started getting played at home almost regularly around this time. They used to announce the name of the movie but apparently it never got registered in my mind. Now, thanks to this exercise, I get to remember the name of this delightful song's movie!
A sweet SPB winner!
There are a few more SPB songs listed under ricksAw in thiraippAdal but they don't have brain-recall :-(
So, all of them get skipped and let's move on to the 'manadhai ennavO paNNum' short SPB song from another movie that Nerd talked about a few pages back...
Not yet param. I could not get much time for last few days. (promise, not scared of Plum)Quote:

#354 கோட்டையை விட்டு வேட்டைக்குப்போகும்
(சின்னத்தாயி, 1992)
'kottaiyai vittu vEttaikkuppOgum' from sinnaththAyi
The link has all three songs - the short one by SPB, another by SJ and one by kids with possibly Sunantha. The SPB version has an interesting ghatam-like sound as the prelude but the accompaniment for his singing has soft (tablA) rhythm arrangements that are atypical to the kind of song. Possibly a softer situation on screen that didn't demand the eerines that goes along with the big fearsome villageside statue / huge horse idol etc. The kids song as well as the SJ version have that bayamuRuththal sounds.
The urumi & country drums that go along with the non-SPB versions can easily transport one to the TN country side where sAmi kumbidu with mAviLakku / theechchatti / moLappAri / kadA vettu etc. could be times of extremes. For most, it's probably meant festivity. For some though, it could mean sheer fear and anxiety as liquor could flow freely and "old scores" could get settled.
In any case, the appearance of some of the village idols could be terrifying for kids who weren't exposed to them before. It was a big thing for some of my "from-town-city-or-other-state" kind of relative kids when they visited our country side. The huge, fearsome statues - AnthaikkaNNu, koduvA meesai etc - and the huge horse idols were frightening to most of them :-)
With that sinnaththAyi song, all the backlog got cleared :-)
Now I need to post today's song and we'll be current!
At the rate of one song a day for the rest of the month, we'll hit #366 on the last day of April!
hurrAy!!
#355 வனமெல்லாம் செண்பகப்பூ
(நாடோடிப்பாட்டுக்காரன், 1992)
vanamellAm sheNbagappoo from nAdOdippAttukkAran
Quite an interesting song, with an unusual kind of rhythm arrangement for the pallavi - something that sounds like "reverse gear" and not often heard in IR songs IMO. Catchy melody and possibly provided some "mass screen presence" thingy for Karthik those days. However, the movie's name makes it obscure - with too many movies having pAttukkAran suffix those days (as also nAdOdi prefix). I don't have any idea about the movie at all!
The song is strongly etched in memory, however :-) Once again, I can't place a specific time period as to when I actually heard this song :-( While there's no question that I've listened to it only on PA systems (and not on a personal audio / radio), it's got to be around the time of its arrival - during my many trips to Cbe & rest of TN in the early 90's. Other hubbers may be able to chip-in more details about the movie /songs.
In addition, I don't have much familiarity with other songs of this album at all!
