Theme of the Week - Wild Wild West - Page 2

I just started the identification game so we could all learn. My guess is as good as yours, but for what it is worth:

Gustakh dil : straight rock and roll, sounds a lot like the old Chubby Checker type songs.
Banda yeh bindaas: my guess would be reggae/calypso
Aao twist karen: rock'n roll, also Mera naam chin chin choo and Eena meena deeka.

Do lafzon ki hai tries to emulate more traditional Southern European sounds, but I am not going to put a name to them and establish my ignorance!

I would steer Sumitra away from the Cabaret/item numbers and towards more melodious songs. Just for our sake!

RD Burman's 'Pukaar' had baila-based songs that I love:
Jaan-e-jigar duniya mein to sabse hasin hai
Bachke rehna re baba.
Good guitar here, Sonia!

Salaame is a good song: Priyani... she has not sung this type of song before, has she?

It's a large world and we have very 'inspired' composers, so lots of choice!

jaya, those two songs are jazz and swing, not rock, as i thought.

Sorry, will try to be systematic:

Oh, and all of Biddu's songs: straight pop! Not just 'Aap jaisa koi' but also the songs from 'Star' with Kumar Gaurav and Rati Agnihotri.

Oh cool ... thats a lot of informtation and good learning too 😊

Would 'Roobaroo Roshni' also be qualify as jazz?

At this moment, I am just trying to find out songs that have a huge western influence without categorizing them.... Some of the songs that I can think of...

Raat Akeli Hai... (Again would love Abhilasha performing this)
Mil jaaye is tarah, do lehere jis tarah...
Aap jaisa koi meri zindagi me aaye (Disco?)
Aayiye meherbaan...

I would also like to mention Salil Chowdhury here... I think, his music had a very very unique combination of Eastern folk and Western classical....

But then Salil Chowdhury is probably an idea of a theme on his own.. such was his variety !

yipppeee got something right!! that feels good 😆

jaya, i think roobaroo is a fusion 😳
and aap jaisa koi is surely disco

and how cud we forget our 'inspired' disco king bappida 😆
jawani janeman - already done by arshpreet but want to hear it from mirande
raat baaki - abhilasha or priyani
Inteha ho gayi - Harshit
Yaad aa raha hain tera pyaar - Toshi
Yaar Bina chain kahan re - Irfan and Priyani

and just how did i forget 'itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha' inspired by Mozart - irfan and abhilasha
sochna kya jo bhi hoga dekha jayega is another inspired tune

Some of the songs that come to my mind are:

Tum kya Jaano Mohabbat kya hai: Hum kisi se kam nahin

Mehbooba mehbooba: Sholay

Yeh dil deewana deewan hain ye dil: Pardes

Chale chaiyya chaiyya : Dil se


In fact many of AR Rehman & RD Burman's songs have western beats in them

Jhalak dikhlaja: Aksar😉 my fav HR song

My name is Anthony Gonsalves: Amar Akbar Anthony

Na bole na tum na maine kuch kaha: Baaton Baaton mein

Hey que sera sera jo bhi ho jo ho:Pukar

Jaane kya hoga rama re:Kaante
