App, you are right. What a second interlude! The violin phrases, the pregnant pauses, and then the bass guitar dhwamsam.

#99 தோளின் மேலே பாரம் இல்லே கேள்வி கேட்க யாருமில்லே
(நினைவெல்லாம் நித்யா, 1982 )
The bass special song that bubbles with youthful energy!
Afro style drums, vocal harmony, synth sounds and a strong bass line - all these support an exuberant SPB vocal - to make a racy number! A song that can easily bring mental pictures of an energetic Karthik (ok, if not the ninaivellAm nithya scenes which not many can remember, 'rAjA, rAjAthi rAjan indha rAjA' Karthik should occur in the mind - that speedy one with iLamaiththuLLal)! I often wonder how this song would have turned out to be with Prabhudeva (if not dancing, at least as a dance master for Karthik) :roll:
Way ahead of its times for its "sounds" and overall construct! Especially the second interlude - what was Raja thinking, one would wonder :-) At last, one song which the remixers won't bother to touch - as their typical capability is only to introduce some "kannA-pinnA-hairabbA" noises -which had already been done via "lE-lElO-lElElO" biz by rAsA :lol:
(Who knows, they may try a rEp version in the future (thO----Lin----mE----lE----thoLithoLithoLithoLi-thOLin-mElE-thOLin-mElE--)
Whenever I play this number in the car, it's on a higher volume and the mood will simply soar! For hours, one will be on a high!
2 votes each for nee thAnE (Divine22, Plum) & pani vizhum (genesis, AravindMano), 1 for rOjAvaiththAlAttum (app_engine)...let's see if there are any more in another 24 hours.
After that, whichever gets more votes will be the #100 of IR-SPB & the others #101 & #102 :-)
(in case of a tie, coin suNdi decide paNNalAm)
App, very tough question to ask. All these three songs are so close to everyone. Still I have to decide between Rojavai thaalaattum thendral and Neethaane enthan pon vasantham.
இலைகளில் காதல் கடிதம் வண்டு எழுதும் பூஞ்சோலை
இதழ்களில் மேனி முழுதும் இளமை வரையும் ஓர் கவிதை
மௌனமே சம்மதம் என்று தீண்டுதே மன்மத வண்டு
பார்த்தாலே தள்ளாடும் பூச்செண்டு ஆ... ஆ..
Vs
பாதை முழுதும் கோடி மலர்கள் பாடி வருமே தேவக் குயில்கள்
பன்னீரில் ஹே இளந்தேகம் நீராடும் பனிப்பூக்கள் ஹே உனைக்கண்டு தேனூறும்
நீ ஆடை அணிகலன் சூடும் வேலையில் ரோஜா மால்லிகை வாசம்
முக வேர்வைத் துளியது போகும் வரையினில் தென்றல் கவரிகள் வீசும்
சந்தோஷம் உன்னோடு கைவீசும் எந்நாளும்
The latter's tune even without the lyrics conveys the sensuality. Beautifully finishing the charanam with 'ennaaLum' to pallavi 'Neethaane'. 'EnaaLum Neethaane' gives a beautiful connection between charanam and pallavi. Vairamuthu's lines in charanam, sheer brilliance and excellent imagination, only him possible.
The tune and the lyrics of latter wins by a whisker for me. Also the latter one is a SPB solo, so he has sung the full song. That is another reason.
i love Raja's Madhyamavathi.. Beautiful Flute.. violin.. wah wah guitar.
so vote for - Needhanae endhan
Just caught up with all the posts made in the past 1 week. Very interesting writeups app and congrats on the 100 :-)
All the 4 biggies in this album are phenomenal songs. Except Tholin Mele all others are hugely popular till this date. To me, Rojavai is slightly below the other 3. Would pick nee dhaanE marginally ahead of panivizhum malarvanam.
count me on Neethane :), my favourite
AravindMano,
Thanks for the correction. I think it has another typo as well. வரையிலும் instead of வரையினில்.
I will go with 'needhaane'.
