I just fail to understand some of these film songs. Take this one for instance,
"pyar ki ek kahani suno, ek ladka tha, ek ladki thi"
I've heard a zillion pyar ki kahanies and then some. There were always ek ladka - ek ladki in them...maybe ek ladka - do ladki or vice-versa once in a while. So whats new this this song? Why should we listen to this kahani??? If it were something like ek ladka tha, ek aur ladka tha...now thats novel. Everybody's game for a new love story, yes? Brokeback mountain!
And its not just the newer songs that get my goat. Check this one out from the decade past - "is jahan ki nahi hain tumhari aankhien". What does that mean? You have outlandish eyes! Alien eyes! maybe the babe had some wierd eye color like magenta or purple or something. Spooky!!!
"Telephone dhun mein hasne wali"...how does that laughter go? Tring-tring! is route ki sabhi linein vyast hain. That song had another gem -
"Teri gali mein koi mard na chorhunga, aurat bhi na chorhunga..."
Bhaiya kam se kam kutton ko chorh dena please...
This phenomena is not just limited to Hindi songs. There are lots of English songs as well that are filed under the wierd section but thats a rant for some other time.
