Funky - Looney - Freakout Raaja

[jaiganes]

Was listening to Anne Anne from Kozhi koovudhu and then landed upon this hilarious song 'Ara kurayaa sethavanum' from Thozhar Pandiyan.

Raja is one Music director who has been uninhibited when it comes to composing freaked out songs like these....
Ofcourse we have the hall of fame songs like the 'Raathiri Nerathil' from Idhayathai Thirudaadhe and the 'competition' song from Nadigan. It is high time we catalogue these songs...

In the same film (Thozhar pandiyan)
Paal irukkum pazham irukkum has all kinda voices freaking out.
The world pamous song for freakout is the Karagattakkaram gem 'Oor vittu Ooru vandhu'.
Apart from Raaja - no maai ka laal has touched this genre properly .

தமிழ் பசங்கள்/பொண்ணுகள் always like to have fun in harmless teasing around முறை பொண்ணு, காதலி, தோழிகள்,மாமன் , மாப்பிள்ளை etc ..when it comes to real issues /situations they are loving , caring and protective.
Shri.IR nicely took advantage of that cultural aspect, churned out some amazing compositions for generations to cherish & have fun!
i remember when i was a young , my மாமா பசங்கள் constantly pulled my ரெட்டை பின்னல் everytime i cross the நிலைப்படி ..
நான் அங்க போறதுக்கு தாவி தடதடன்னு குதிச்சுண்டு ஓடுவேன் ... மாமிகிட்ட சொல்லுவேன் I LOVE THEM DEARLY!

Jai,

Good to see this topic as I was hearing two such songs in repeat mode recently.

'Anne Anne' from 'Kadhal Saadhi' is outstanding. The lyrics, the singing, the beat and overall the attitude. This is the way to go dude Right from the pallavi the freakiness is present. This is very unlike the earlier freaky songs that he had given. A sort of kuthu with fun written all over it.

Another song I have written about earlier and am listening to currently is 'jakkamma' from 'Solla Marandha Kadhai'. The song is so well structured, i.e., it is deliberately not structured well since it is sung by drunkards. The whole songs sways as if it is drunk. The rhythm, the laugh once in a while, the stop start mode, everything is perfectly in place reflecting the drunkeness. Everytime I hear this song I am amazed as to how Raja can conjure up drunkeness by his music!!! No gimmicks here. Just a touch of genius.

'Jyothi' was an album dedicated to freak out songs. There is one nice melody in this movie, 'siricha kolli mala kuyilu' but the other songs are of the freak out variety.

'Gama Gama' is a superb imitation of an hungry guy. You can easily imagine a bunch of hungry guys who are smelling the masala flavors emanating from the neighboring house. The song has the urgency of the hungry person. The lyrics are lovely. This is one real freak out song.

'asai madana' from this movie was already discussed in another thread. Shailaja does a great. Raja in many songs uses carnatic orchestration, with the mridangam and all, for conveying the freakout nature. Mixing one of the most serious musical genres with comedy to come out with a heady concoction. As Vinatha had pointed out, 'kadal kasakudaiyya' is one such lovely effort.

'pombala kannula bodhai' is another good freak out number from 'Jyothi'. Malaysia Vasudevan did a good job in such numbers by imparting lot of energy into them. SPB as usual loved these freak out songs since they gave him ample opportunity to 'act' with his voice.

Check out 'Jyothi'. You won't find an album which is more freaked out that this!!

original remix in 1977

this is a comedy mix starting with thyagaraja's kokiladwani kriti ' toli nenu jesina' and ending with 'kabhi kabhi' in kalyani. enjoy vkr, tengai etc in the dialogues.

this remix is from the movie 'avar enakke sondham' which also had 'devan thiruchabai malargale', surangani and thenil aadum roja.

another remix in the film 'un kannil neer vazhindaal'. this is also a comedy mix starting with 'ilamai idho idho' by malaysia followed by 'ponmeni urugudhe' a kalyani and 'naan poren munnale' from ye aatha. here ye aatha which is originally in tisram is given in chatusra nadai.

and raja even touches 'come september' in the end before 'anbe inbam'.

avar enakkE sondham -

this had the beginning of such 'loLLu' songs with 'surAngani'

That song was immensely popular among youngsters - school boys, college boys etc. I believe it's a "remix" or "remake" of some பொப்பிசைப்பாடல் from ilangai or malaysia or far east (initially I thought it wasn't even a movie song but a song like சின்ன மாமியே உன் செல்ல மகளெங்கே).

There was an inter-school competition of variety entertainmant in a hospital where I was present to collect a prize for essay writing on leprosy (as a 8th or 9th grader). A senior boy & girl from a school - both stylishly dressed in bell-bottom pants - danced for this song - which was the first time I heard this and was immediately hooked

The starting guitar itself kicks off...

yes app, it was by celon manohar, i guess. there is an youtube also.
