Toilet Lyrics

MASOOM SA KABOOTAR

NAACHAA TOH MOR NIKLAA.


Over the weekend, I was just lazing around at home flipping through channels as usual, when I came a cross a re-run of an old movie Aitbaar starring Raj Babbar, Dimple etc.

This is a remake of Hitchcock’s Dial M For Murder and since I’ve always been a fan of murder mysteries I continued watching.

The flick itself is ok but this is not what I am blogging about today.

The movie has some beautiful songs like 'Kisi Nazar Ko Tera' & 'Aawaz Di Hai' etc but somewhere towards the end there is a senseless song called 'Khali Peeli Pyar Se'.

I have never been more appalled by such nonsensical lyrics.

Its about some girl asking her lover to get her different things (as most women in love are wont to do) but the last line of each verse has an unnecessary and totally uncalled for abuse directed at the poor guy’s mother.

Sample (and this is JUST a sample):

Thanedaar Ghar Me Kuaan Khudaa (Darling Dig Me A Well)
Main Bhi Nahaaoongi (I Will Bathe)
Tu Bhi Nahayega (You Will Also Bathe)
Pani Bharigi Teri Maa (And The Water Will Be Drawn By Your Mother)

Or

Thanedaar Laa De Mujhe Ganna (Darling get me some sugarcane)
Main Bhi Choosongi (I will suck)
Tu Bhi Choosega (You will also Suck)
Chilka Choosegi Teri Maa (And Your Mother Will Suck The Peel)

How did such nonsense get past the censors?

Honestly I don’t know what is worse, the shockingly blatant innuendo suggesting fellatio or dragging the poor mother into it.

And frankly what is the point of it? Hopefully not Humour.


Now all trends in Bollywood usually come back again. Bell Bottoms, Oversized Glasses etc and this song too saw its comeback in a Govinda-Karisma Kapoor movie.

This time the couple is singing about walking along the road, having paani-poori, doing mundane things and suddenly BAM comes the line, ‘Why Should I Care If Your Granny Is Dead’

Readers of a certain vintage will have guessed the song: “Teri Naani Mari Toh Mai Kya Karoon”.

And all this when someone like Gulzar is milking sheer poetry from a most unlikely word: Kaminey.

P.S. The soundtrack to Kaminey (Shahid-Priyanka and directed by the guy who brought you Omkara etc) is one of the best so far this year. Buy or Download it as soon as possible.

Sample:

Kyaa kare zindagi

Issko hum jo miley

Isski jaan khaa gaye

Raat din ke giley

Meri aarzoo kameenee

Mere khwaab bhi kaminey

Ek dil se dosti thi

Yeh hazoor bhi kaminey

Jis kaa bhi chehra cheelaa

Andar se aur niklaa

Maasoom saa kabootar

Naachaa toh mor niklaa

Kabhi hum kaminey nikle

Kabhi doosre kaminey

Have a nice day Kaminey’s

Luv

Vish
