Why Bhappi rocks????????
Challenging Conventions
Saath Mere Aaogi..Ice Cream Khaogi - Justice Choudhary: Bhappi composes a knock out here. Sung by Asha and Kishore and picturized on Free..oops Sri Devi and the Jumpin' Jack Jitu. Apparently Baskin Robins wanted exclusive rights to this number to promote their Ice Cream brands in India, but Bhappi decided to sell it to the local Ice Cream wallahs at chowpatty and his ploy worked. Even today after 2 decades its a popular number amongst the fresh couples who go on ice cream dates to chowpatty.
I'm a Disco Dancer - Disco Dancer: (Dedicated to my MS pal.. Guru) Rendered by the singing maestro Vijay Benedict (no clue who this fella is..) who claims that ''Yeh log kehte hain, main tab bhi gaata tha jab bol paata nahin tha''. And yess... this number is picturized on my idol, the celestial MITHUN.
Catch Line: ''Que) Hello Beautiful..Whatz ur name? Ans) Neeeshaaa...Que) Tumhe maloom, jawaani kya hoti hai? Ans) Nahin maloom. Chorus) Ha Ha Ha Ha.......Mithun) Jawani ek leher hai, jawani ek nasha hai, jawani jispe aata hai, wohi jaane yeh kya hai...(Creative Lyrics at heights... Ghalib and Kabir are already ashamed of their relative mediocrity)
Ui Amma Ui Amma.. Saari Hawa Ho Gayi - Mawaali How can I forget this number. The Jumpin' Jack in a bright yellow shirt and white pants dancing with Jaya Prada in a blue blouse and petticoat (coz' her saari flew away with the wind). Bhappi simply creates magic with this number. Imagine, I was in 3rd grade when I watched this song and I was excited watching Jaya dancing saari-less to this jarring number.
Catch Line: ''Bolo in kapdon mein lagti hoon main kaisi, har kapda khilta hai sundar hai tu aisi'' (Boss.. kapda hai kidhar????)
Challenging the foundation of the Afro Tribes
Bhappi simply puts the basic foundation of the African Tribes and their culture at question with these two numbers. Allegedly, a tribe from east Namibia started to worship Bappi after they heard these numbers.
Jee Le Le Jee Le Le Aaiyyo Aaiyyo Jee Le Le - Tarzan This time its Bhappi singing himself along with Alisha Chinoy. And I will honestly accept the fact that, as a kid I was a big fan of this number. Momentarily, it made me feel as if I actually originated from The Maasais(A tribe from Uganda). I did demand the truth from my mom but she still maintains her stand that my ancestors were Indians(I don't believe her).
Main Aaya Tere Liye - Ilzaam: This movie featured the debut of apna ''Viraar Ka Chokra'' - Govinda. The east feared the rise of another dark force, but fortunately he was subdued until the 90s. The song rendered by Zoheb and Nazia Hassan is as unmusical as it can be. Can't really blame Bhappi for some terrible singing (I hope Bhappi ain't taking this compliment too seriously).
Challenging my Music Conception
Koi Yahan Aha Naache Naache - Disco Dancer: This is a straight lift from Buggle's ''Video killed the radio star''. Wondering, what was Bhappi's contrubution towards this number. And the male singer's voice comes right through his nose.
Catch Line: ''Yaara hai gaana yahi, gaana bajaana yahi, turr turr tarana Bang Bang'' (The bang bang sounds as if.. someone fired just fired two bullets into my head..Bang Bang)
O Lal Dupatte Waali Tera Naam Toh Bata - Aankhen: Man Man Man!!! Could Bhappi ever get better than this. I wonder what the basic purpose of this song was. Was it all about demanding introduction from two gals?? If it is.. then I wonder if the purpose was ever solved. The music is at its jarring best and to top it up its Chunky Pandey and Govinda dancing to this number. Don't I love it???
Main Teri Chanchal Chanchal Titli Tu Mera Phool Gulabi - Mr Azaad: HUH!!! Okay the english translation.. Im ur butterfly and u r my rosey flower.. HUH!!!!!! I remember this number featuring Anil Kapoor with huge mustaches and some female wearing a police uniform with tight knickers.. Disgusting.. Bhappi Bhappi Bhappi.. I ain't blaming you for the pictorialization.. only if the song could have been better.
Jhoom Jhoom Jhoom Baba - Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki LOL@ the movie's title.. Kasam Paida Karne Waale Ki. This song surely is a delight to play due to its chord structure. But Salma Agha's voice simply puts me off. Kasam paida karne waale ki.. I feel like smashing this keyboard over her head.
Maine Maine Maine... Tujhe Tujhe Tujhe ... - Commando: No No.. I ain't talking about the Arnold flick.. its MITHUN again, starring in some spy flick along with ''no-vacancy'' Mandakini. This was probably Mithun's last noted hit. Honestly, it ain't that bad a song, only if Bhappi managed to use better singers.
Presently contemplating on claiming damages from Mr Bhappi Lahiri for causing mental instability and distress by his decade full of jarring music. Counsellor...I need help.
