Beautiful Tamil Son
So, I've been obsessed with this song from Azhagiya Tamizh Magan for quite some time now. The obsession sort of died down, but Akanksha (see photo: where she poses with the loot from her latest poaching activities.) sort of revived it by telling me that she'd been in love with the song too. Since then, for three days now, I've been listening to the song in every spare second of the day. Its been wonderful. Really. Tamil songs, especially the folksy variety, have such a catchy groove about them. Even the infamous Manmadha Raasa or the title track of Madurey make you want to dance! (And while we're discussing songs that make one want to dance, let us not forget the tantalising Ponmagal Vandaal re-sequencing by Rahman from ATM again!)
But there is another song in the movie that requires special attention. The operative lyrics of the song, irresistible and unparalleled in Tamil cinema are:
Nee Marilyn Monroe Cloning aa…
Illai Jennifer Lopez in scanning aa…
One Day mattum girlfriend aggeh Varriya…
Heyy Rock n Roll il Killadi…
Rap Song Arinen munnodi…
Saturday night party ke pogallam varriya…
Hey Saturday night party ke pogallam varriya…
Hey Baby enn album nee…
Hey Baby unn DJ naan…
Oru Murai Iru Murai Palla Murrai
Ketridum Sangitham…
I wait now for Rahman's next Tamil album. His Hindi stuff somehow never has the same effect.

ha ha..priceless! I guess this was the long overdue progression from Oh Maria, Oh Maria, fruitcherryaa nee varriya...another gem
I suppose ARR deliberately saves the polish for bollywood and really lets loose on the Tamil stuff. chikubuku raile in hindi sounds so weird..
AARK!
what have you done with your blog?
on another note, rahmans tamil stuff is better than his hindi albums, but that maybe because tamil albums tend to be better than hindi albums as a whole
@suhas
I like the unpolished stuff - they have more soul. The polished stuff is often just saying "I love you" or "I miss you" in the corniest of manners!
@s
you don't like? hmmm. I like. so, you must suffer!
i agree - tamil albums are way better. thing is, they get dubbed in hindi ever so often... then the soul is lost (okay, i'm souling a lot right now. bear with me!). i think i should do a list of my fabourite rahman albums - maybe a top 5 types!
I actually like the new layout. It's somehow appropriate that the change coincided with a post on Tamil film songs.
Yup, I agree the unpolished stuff is better, and dubbing takes away the 'soul' (that's why i mentioned chiku buku raile up there). But his hindi stuff is still anything but corny - even his inferior albums are way better than most of the tripe that the others come out with. I hope you come out with that top five list. A friend had written about his top ten last year, and it'd be interesting to compare lists.
Next post will be the Top 5!
