(Nice singing too!)
If you would like to contact me, e-mail to chardsinger [at] yahoo.com. I also have a Facebook timeline, where I have been spending too much time. (But it is only partially like this blog in terms of subject matter.) Anyway, especially if you know me somewhat, and you are on Facebook, you might want to connect there. Send an e-mail so that we can talk more about it and maybe exchange URLs to “friend.”
Arg! I really want to block this, but I’m blocked from such delights at work, which is reasonable…back to work! But I WILL return later to view this.
Sita-ji, I am sorry to hear that you are encumbered by a mujra blocker in the workplace. I hope that you have had a chance to view this by now… I look forward to further comments, when you have a chance! :)
Coordinated snaking at 1:13 is a nice touch and I like the snakes on their leotards, great knee spins at 5:20. Only improvement would be makeshift table holding keyboard being replaced by a refrigerator.
Thank you, Sita-ji – good observations. Yes, it would be better if the table were replaced by a refrigerator!
I’m also curious about the music here… Clearly, that’s Noor Jehan’s voice, but not from the era where I get most of my favorite Noor Jehan songs (her voice here makes contemporary Lata sound youthful by comparison). Yet, they use the same old Hemant Kumar riff from 1954 – except there’s also that electric guitar, which I’ve never heard in any version of this song before, which sounds kind of rocking…
And I wonder who the guy is.
At about 14 seconds in they’re sampling the Twist song from “Love Aaj Kal”
Oh, OK… And I thought they were just sampling this:
I bet they were! Pritam wrote the song I linked in and he’s sort of known as a plagerist, so I think you found the original. That’s a very nice number in your link by the way
