இந்தத் திரியைப் பார்க்கையில் மனதில் இந்தப் பாடல் சூழ்நிலைக்குப் பொருத்தமாக ஒலிக்கிறது.
ஆஹா வந்துடிச்சி ஆசையில் ஓடிவந்தேன்!
[இந்தப் பாடலையும் பட்டியலில் சேர்த்திருக்கலாம் App]
Excellent (poll) options.

A change from the regular Rajni numbers.
Thanks for the thread app.
I feel he is the most underrated among that generation of singers. As hubber genesis rightly pointed out (in IR section or in a PM I don't remember) one won't find many blogs/fan-sites dedicated to him in the internet when compared with others.
Not a single day passes without me listening to at least 2-3 malaysia songs. Fantastically versatile singer and simply brilliant in expressing subtle emotions. RIP sir.
Btw, App did you mean அள்ளித்தந்த பூமி அன்னையல்லவா / சொல்லித்தந்த வானம் தந்தையல்லவா in the poll or is that a different song?

Thenkizhakku cheemaiyilE is undoubtedly his best with Rahman (sung only 3 other AFAIK). Kizhakku cheemaiyilE is in fact a very unique album. Except KJY all major singers of the 70s/80s/90s (SPB/SJ/MV/PJ/Chitra/Mano) have sung in this album.

There is no Muthal Mariyaathai without Malaysia Vasudevan sir. Starting with Poongaatru Thirumbuma, Yeh Kili Irukku, Yeh Kuruvi, Vettiveru Vaasam and Yeratha Mala Mela all these evergreen earthy melodies cannot be replaced by anyone. Whenever I listen to these songs, my eyes soak in tears just remembering MV sir and the perfect emotion he conveyed in his singing. Truly a great Legend!
My very special MV sir song and it's in my all time top 10 songs and album of any language or any composer.
Poongaatru Thirumbuma? Can God get Him and NT back to earth?

No offence guys, but it does feel weird when you refer to him as Malaysia. I mean, let's say someone from India comes here and becomes famous singer. And we Malaysians refer to him as, say, India Raghu. Instead of calling him Raghu, we refer to him as India. "Wow, India rocks", "India certainly got the nuance right". "India's better than Mano, heck, even my cat is better than Mano". Weird, right?
We refer to him as Vasudevan or in full Malaysia Vasudevan. Just for you info, otherwise no objection. Keep going.
App, options too many, votes would be split considerably.
Anyway, here's my mom's fav, that ultimately became mine because...oh well....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_PZM-z5K7g
கிராமத்து அத்தியாயம் படத்தில் வரும் "ஆத்து மேட்டுல ஒரு பாட்டு கேக்குது.." - ம.வாசுதேவன் - ஜானகி கூட்டணியில் அமைந்த ராஜாவின் பாடல்.. ஒவ்வொரு முறை கேட்கும் போதும் சொக்க வைக்கும். படத்தின் பெயருக்கேற்ப பாடலின் ஒவ்வொரு இசைக்குறிப்பும் கிராமத்து சாயலை உரித்துக் காட்டும். வெட்டி வேரு வாசம் பாடல் போல ரொம்ப நுணுக்கமான சங்கதிகள் கிடையாது. எளிமையான பாடல். ம.வாசுதேவனின் குரலை ஒத்த ஒரு நகலாக நம்மையும் பாடத் தூண்டும் ஒரு பாடல். அலுவலகத்தில் மதிய உணவுக்கு அப்புறம் மாலை வரையிலான சோர்வு தரும் நேரங்களில் இதுபோன்ற பாடல்களை கேட்டு உற்சாகம் ஏற்றிக்கொள்வது வழக்கம்.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv-KRI-PvNU
நினைவே ஒரு சங்கிதம் - ஏத்தமையா ஏத்தம் பாடல் ம.வாசுதேவன் பாடிய தெம்மாங்கு பாடல்களில் முத்தான ஒன்று. பல்லவி, சரணங்கள் என சந்தங்கள், தாளக்கட்டுக்கள் எல்லாமே நிலத்தடி நீரை ஏத்தம் மூலம் ஏற்றி இறக்குவதற்கு ஒப்பானது. "முந்தி முந்தி வினாயகரே.. என ஆரம்பிக்கும் தொகையறாவிலிருந்து பாடல் முடியும் வரை கர்நாடக சாயல் கொஞ்சம் கூட தென்படாத பரிசுத்தமான ஒரு கிராமியப் பாடல். தெம்மாங்கு என்ற பதத்திற்கு நல்ல உதாரணம். "விஞ்ஞான காலத்தில் எல்லாமே மெஷினு, மனுஷன் மனசு கூட மெஷினாச்சி போ புள்ள!" என்ற வரிகளில் ம.வாசுதேவன் காட்டும் குரல்மொழி அருமை. பாடல் எடுக்கப் பட்ட களம் மற்றும் விஜயகாந்த்-ராதா இருவருக்கும் இடையேயான குறும்பு எல்லாமே ம.வாசுதேவன் - சித்ரா கூட்டணிக்கு அணி சேர்க்கிறது. ( வெள்ளிவிழா கண்ட படம். அதற்கான விழாவில் கமல் விஜயகாந்த்-ராதா உட்பட்ட ஏனைய கலைஞர்களுக்கு கேடயம் வழங்கி சிறப்பித்த புகைப்படங்கள் இராணி இதழில் வந்தது இப்போது ஞாபகத்திற்கு வருகிறது )

app
where the following songs will come in the poll options?
maamaavukku kuduma kuduma, en pathara matthu, mayilapore pakkam mayila kandane, maamanukku mayilaporuthan
Ah! Now there's a singer who deserves all the accolades pouring in. Voted for Agaya Gangai as he brought in a very manly gentleness - as opposed to Unnikrishnan type gentleness - to luvs emotion. Rajini being the defining onscreen hero for him, it had to be a Rajini song that highlights him.
But as App has nicely prefixed in the poll options, what versatility!
One of my fav lolaayi cum eve tease songs is from Dharmathin Thalaivan. Thagaraaru song in a thaarumaaru voice. MV/Rajni
Opening stanza is absolute nonsense :lol:. But who cares. Here is where MV/Rajni/IR create something out of nothing.
ஹே ரத்தரா
ஹே ரத்தரா
ரத்தரா!!!! ரத்தரா!!! ரத்தரா
ரத்தரா!!! ரத்தரா!!! ரத்தரா
ஹே
(MV and Rajni are just warming up until now. MV with his vocal cords and Rajni with a bottle. The beginning of insanity. Rajni's antics are, what to say:. Well basically he does what he likes and they are perfect for the song.
Jump to stanza 1
ஒத்தடி ஒத்தடி ஓரமா ஒத்தடி அம்மடி
எட்டடி துள்ளினா பத்தடி பாயுமே நம்மடி
பட்டணம் அறிஞ்ச போக்கிரி
பத்தியம் தெரிஞ்ச பக்கிரி
அட என்னோட மோதாம வாமா பாப்போமா
ஆடி தான் பாப்போமா
ரேட்டு தான் போட்டு தான் பாப்போமா
Main stanza Rajni, MV and IR are in full form.
வில்லாதி வில்லானடி எனக்கு இணையாக தான் கில்லாடி இல்லையடி
அட வெச்சாலும் வெச்சானடி உனக்கு செரியாக தன மச்சானும் ஒத்த வெடி
சொல்லணும் வந்தனம்!!!
இல்ல மூலையில் குந்தனும்!!!
மக்கு போல் நிக்கற செக்கு போல் சுத்தற சிக்கலில் சிக்கலாமா ?
அட எப்போவும் துள்ள்ற சொப்பன சுந்தரி இப்படி முழிக்கலாமா?
MV just blazes through these stanzas. Now there are nothing with the lines. You can call em stupid?. Hey but it is sung by a drunken guy, so take a walk!!. If sung by any other singer the song would be terrifically bland. MV/Rajni are a couple made in heaven. Naasthi atmosphere created. Bang at both ends. The highs and lows achieved in his singing are :thumbsup:

Yes, it's the naNdu song where bhoomi got (mistakenly) changed to vAnam :oops:
I realized it after posting but could not edit. I don't know how to edit a poll in the new hub...is it possible? Otherwise, can moderators please change that to 'aLLiththandha bhoomi annai allavA'?
I guess the mAmA / mAmi songs could go to either outrageous kuRumbu or misc section.
In reality, most TF songs are multi-genre ones and it's one's perception as to what category it can be placed in. With some, there's a dominant taste and with others it's purely based on bias.
For e.g., where to place 'poongARRu thirumbumA'?
cinematic light? yes
emotional? yes
folk? yes
soft? yes
Same case for a number of songs.
'kOdai kAlakkARRE' - is it western? or the aLLiththandha bhoomi group? Can't say :-)
Groucho,
Yes, there are too many options :oops: but then MV had such a variety too :-)
Venkkiram,
I remember posting about a MV's bhakthi song in his obituary thread. What to do, there are max 10 options :-)
MV for himself alongwith SPB
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JujaN8vYSAQ
This is one of my favourite MV songs. The song was added recently in my list :)

NOV in the Avan Ivan thread has a poll which allows one to choose multiple options. If App had made a similar poll, I would have voted for 9/10. Not a fan of his mimicry stuff.
Great songs everyone, please keep them coming.
பருவ காலங்களின் கனவு
(மூடுபனியில் ஜானகியுடன்)
Relatively short song but quite an unusual one IMO. While 'en iniya pon nilAvE' is so well-known to the current gen, this one may not be that familiar.
A personal favourite:-) Consider this as part of the "western" category :wink:
thiraippadal link for MV that lists some 540 songs. There can be some minor errors here and there but such should be negligible.
Almost 95% are IR numbers. There may be other web resources that contain his songs from other MDs, especially Shankar Ganesh with whom he has worked for many numbers.
The MV-SG combo's 'nadaiya mAththu' (kannipparuvaththilE) was such a big hit at the time of arrival. The same movie had the 'pattu vaNNa rOsAvAm' which was heard in all patti-thotti of TN and popularity levels were greater than of IR songs of the exactly same period.
கூடையிலே கருவாடு
கூந்தலிலே பூக்காடு
(ஒருதலை ராகம், ராஜேந்திரன்- ஏ.ஏ. ராஜ் இசையில் )
No confusion, this Rajendran is same as TR :-) Included AA Raj simply to be historically correct as this was the way it was advertised on posters and otherwise at the time of the movie's arrival. The lyrics were by TR and possibly the melody but the orchestra used was AA Raj's and he could have had inputs in the arrangements.
A very catchy number in an album that was a smash hit across the state. It was especially loved by students!
yOv
Why dragging me :x :lol: j/king
One of the Versatile singers in TFM, after SPB and TMS ! Though he had "littile" TMS within him :)
My Fav MV songs are (Not in any particular oreder)
1) Aagaya Gangai
2) Puthuvaga enamanus thangam - Every time I hear this, I wanna get up and dance, cant sit still when one hears this song !
3) Koyil mani osai ingu keatatharO
4) E kuruvi chittu kuruvi
A versatile singer indeed :clap:
What a class rendition! MV sir and this song is inseparable. As the first youtube comment rightly says, this song is beyond all recognitions and awards.

Not embedding the video to avoid cluttering the page with youtubes but video is mildly amusing. Rajini and Madhavi go on a trip in the streets of Chennai on a bed. Yeah, your read that right. Have not seen the film. High budget sci-fi made in 4 languages. Colossal flop I think.
Anyway the song has MV and IR in supreme form. Very very modern song, way ahead of its times.
Crap movie. Wonder what Kamal would have done with the same scene...(Nettu first half of Alavandhan parta effect-u), probably IR would have changed the melody (Mendum mendum vaa, jumcha jumcha jumcha).

(சாமந்திப்பூ, ம.வாசுதேவன் இசையமைத்துப்பாடியது)
Only two facts about this movie are possibly in the memory of those who followed TFM during the movie's time period...one : first movie to have music by MV where he played nice, using his contemporary singers. two : it had the enigmatic Shobha :-(
Thank you. Nice song indeed.
One of the greatest songs / hits of MV. Ooru vittu ooru vandhu. He owns this song. Can not think of any other singer doing justice to this. The last lines in each charanam (kaadhal eedera, paadu en kooda) - brilliant rendition. And you have 'annan' dancing to this. 10/10 song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1SRRwCP2UM
Just a couple of kosuru infos on 'ooru vittu ooru vanthu' :
1. The movie's director, Gangai Amaran, also sings in this song. So, it's a male-male-duet with kuzhuvinar as well.
2. Such was the popularity of this song that the first line got used as the title for a later-day grAmarAjan movie -'ooru vittu ooru vanthu'. The song 'sorgamE enRAlum athu nammoorappOla varumA' from that movie has become some sort of anthem for NRI's...

Vechalum vekkama ponalum malli vaasam. Comical video song.
:smile: I like the seriousness given to the song. The "papapaaa" makes me smile when I listen to it. and responding to "Manmatha leelaiya vendravar undo" the group goes, "illa illaa" :smile:
Azha Kadalil Thediya muthu - form which movie ??? Wonder full song by IR+MV+SJ :notworthy:
Sattam En Kayil - Kamal. But apparently the song does not appear in the movie?
Another good number from that movie, Kadatenggayoo Vazhipullayaaroo also MV.
Thanks Rakesh anna :)
One of my All time Fav of MV are "ஆகாய கங்கை " and "ஒரு தங்க ரதத்தில்" ! :notworthy:
First big patti-thotti-hit for MV, from my memory
ஒத்த ரூவா ஒனக்குத்தாரேன், பத்தாட்டியும் எடுத்துத் தாரேன்
(பத்ரகாளி, 1976 , ஜானகியுடன், இளையராஜா இசையில்)
As recalled in a few blogs and other articles, MV came into Chennai to act in a movie and stayed back after that. Kept trying for chances as actor / singer / artist while singing on-stage with Pavalar Brothers (Ilayaraja / Gangai Amaran / R D Bhaskar). He also befriended SPB. His first recorded song was with V Kumar it seems but the movie never came out.
MV then sang under MSV's music among a big group for Bharatha vilAs ('indhiya nAdu en veedu') followed by a solo that was popular on radio under Kunnakkudi (kAlam seyyum viLaiyAttu, movie kumAsthAvin makaL).
The badhrakALi song, however, had a much bigger scale of popularity - reverberating along patti-thottees of TN on horn speakers. Obviously it was benefited by the popularity of kEttELe ingE and got played along. Nevertheless, it reached everywhere and got retention value in the minds of people. (Everytime I hear Kannan oru kaikkuzhandhai, after the ArArirO, ArArirO in the end, my mind automatically plays the prelude of oththa roovA - to this day).
