Songs of 2011

With 2011 drawing to a close, lets see what songs our newsmakers had in mind - as usual a satirical imagination ;)

Anna Hazare: moondrezhuthil en moochu irukkum, adhu mudindha pinnalum pechirukum
A Raja: Started the year with 'Raajathi raajan inda raja' and ends with 'no money, no kani'. (poor man, No bail also)
M Karunanidhi: Started the year with 'varudhu varudhu election varudhu'; defeated and after seeing his daughter's arrest & bail now singing - vandhaal mahalakshmiye
Jayalalithaa: Emerged victorious 'Jeya berigai kottada' and now 'ennuyir thozhi keladi seidhi...'
Sasikala: Aappu songu. Y dis kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri akka?
Ambani family: Beginning was a duet 'yeh Antilla hai pyaar ka' and now in a chorus 'hum saath saath hain' (Perfect family photo)
'Mannu'mohan: amma na summa illa da, ava ilanna naane illa da
Rahul 'the Dimpled' Gandy: kehta hai joker saara

P Chidambaram: pesa koodathu verum pechil sugam
Rajinikanth: naan seththu pozhachavan da, yemana parthu sirichavan da

Aish, the Ice Queen: Poovaagi kaayagi kanindha maram ondru.... (sssssshabba, at last!)

Paatukku Paatu

Now that the much-awaited poll results are out, a wild imagination what songs would all the leaders sing. :)
MK in a wheelchair & Dayalu Ammal attending him:
ponnai virumbum bhoomiyile, ennai virumbum oruyire... (Aalayamani Sivaji Ganesan Saroja Devi madhiriye irukkunga annooov!)
Rajathi to MK:
Sumaithaangii saaindhaal :( :( :(
A Raja:
no money, no kani, no money no kani da...
Kani:
Ennirandu padhinaaru kambiiiiii
Arcot Veersamy:
minsaaram en meedhu paayigindrathey..
KD Bros + Saxena:
Kaagidha odam kadal alai mele povadhu pole moovarum povom
Azhagiri & Stalin:
Muthuku muthaaga sothukku sothaaga annan thambi pirandhu vandhom onnukul onnaga; kaniyaale pogaporom mannodu mannaga
Amma (thanking A Raja):
vetri meedhu vetri vandhu enai serum, adhai vaangi thanda perumai ellam unnai serum.
Amma:
Sri ranga ranganathanin paadham vandanam seiyyadi...
KV Thangkabalu:
Satti suttadhada kai vittadhada, buddhi kettadhada.... / Naan oru rasi illa raja
Vadivelu:
enai kaanavellaiye netrodu, engum thedi parkiren kaatrodu, ini en kaiyyile thiruvodu

RAJA RAJA THAAN

Woke up this morning with a not-so-gud mood. But plenty of work to do. So, tuned in to radio. A couple of my god IR's songs and after that an ARR's. Nanna re nanna re number from Guru where Hubby dear's fav plastic figure drenches in the rain and 'dances' with her typical plastic smile, pallu swaying in the wind and showing facial wrinkles (no, they are character lines, says hubby!). It then struck me its just a 3-yr old song but still I can't remember any of those lines. Compare this with IR's rain songs.

Numbers like Megham Kottatum (Enakul Oruvan), Oho megam Vandhadho (Mouna raagam), Anthi mazhai megam (Nayagan), Vaan megam (Punnagai mannan) and not to forget the ever-green Aathadi Ammadi (Idhayathai Thirudaathey). I still get under the shower and shake my leg while hearing it; leave alone the lines i still remember those heavenly interludes of IR in all these songs. I think IR transcends time; his tunes grow on you while ARR is only seasonal.

Being a die-hard IR fan that I am, earlier I used to quip my friends telling that "ARR songs are like the guys u see on road/mall/beach - stay in ur mind for a short time whereas RAJA songs are like ur 'murai paiyyans', ennaikume saaswadham!"
