Funky - Looney - Freakout Raaja

http://www.thiraipaadal.com/albums/ALBIRR00438.html

Oldellaam goldu - P.Suseela rocks to this freakout jazz - blues - softrock unclassifiable funny song - watch out for the the sax notes - they are outstanding...

Has a song sung by L.R.Easwari too and one wonders the 'Arrogant' Raaja working with her after she snubbed him during recording of AnnakkiLi. So many myths are built aroud by personalities right from 70s and much of this is done by magazines of arumai thamizh nadu and their 21st century offshoots - BLOGGERS.

narayanan,

Thanks for the songs. Loved them both. We should give it Raja for he takes off on his own songs!!!

One more absolutely freak out song is 'ulagam suttudada' from 'Karimedu Karuvayan'. It starts off with 'Koundar' showing his 'kaivannam' on Senthil and then the song freaks out. The lyrics are hilarious as well. 'ellorum nirvanam namakenda pudhu veti'. :) Very very enjoyable song.

Another similar freak out song is from 'Naane Raja Naane Mandhiri', 'eleasa'. While this song is good, the superbly freaky song is 'thai avalin'. Can't stop laughing whenever I hear the song. The tune and the lyrics complement each other so much. Listen to it to once and you will know that this man's brain is wired very differently. Nothing is low brow, nothing is high brow. Everything goes and I love it.

Vinatha,

Nice list and liked your mama payyan / mama ponnu reminiscences.

Odivilayaadu thaatha (Thanks to that letter from IR posted by raagadevaa) has another freakout song 'Ore katchi' which has voices from every side of music world, Old represented by LR.Easwari, Manorama and ALRaghavan to Malaysia Vasudevan. and everyone freaking out to end it in a 'Qawwali' - YES a Qawwali in Thamizh films after the famous song in Iru vallavargal.

Jai,

'oldellam goldu' is terrific. (I see the R D Burman influence in the pallavi.) 'ore katchi' is freak out in the real sense with the genres changing effortlessly.

:)

ஒத்த ரூபா from geethanjali where kounds and senthil assume womanly attires is also a laughing riot.

of course the noise to sound ratio is rather high.

Mandayile mottai from Ullam Urugudhadi:

Machi Mannaru - En Uir Tozhan
