Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singer: P.Susheela
Lyrics: Kannadasan

A short description of the romantic longing of a woman in love, in PS's sweet voice.
Sripriya, who is unabashedly in love with Lord Srinivasa, is lying in bed covered in flowers. The flowers wither from her body heat.

aththa peththa malliyappu (Pei Veedu)
Pick #502
Song: aththa peththa malliyappu
Film: Pei Veedu
Music: Shankar-Ganesh
Singer: T.K.S.Natarajan
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1984
Mondays are very slow here at POW. It takes a long time to warm up. Fridays and weekends are another story. Well, back to monday. Mondays are very slow here at POW. So, this monday I decided to quickly warm up the day with a really riotous and fun song. T.K.S.Natarajan does a wonderful job, doing what he does best.
I wish TFM industry had used TKSN more. Traditional folk artistes such as TKSN, Kollangudi Karuppaayi, Paravai Muniyamma, Pushpavanam Kuppusaami, etc. do not even last ten songs in TFM. If folk artistes could not flourish in TFM in the 80s when they made several rural subject films, we may as well forget about today.
Anyway, let us get tapping and dancing with mAman peththa natarAjan.

azagiya thirumugam (Paadhapoojai)
Pick #503
Song: azagiya thirumugam
Film: Paadhapoojai
Music: Jaya-Vijaya
Singer: Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1974
I believe that Jaya-Vijaya are two men. That is how much know about them. "azagiya thirumugam", its other version, and the wonderful duet "ha! sugam sugam ithu" by TMS & VJ are all lovely songs from "Paadhapoojai". But don't know why Jaya-Vijaya did not become famous.
Last year when VJ was in New York at a convention, a lady doctor came and talked to VJ and kept praising her performance in "sugam sugam ithu" the whole time. I don't think she talked about anything else.
In "azagiya thirumugam" VJ proves, again, that she is one powerhouse of a singer. This song is the solo version of a somewhat popular duet known by another opening line. You have to listen to the song to find that out.
