#86 இளமை இதோ இதோ
(சகல கலா வல்லவன் , 1982)
One of the most popular numbers ever in the SPB-IR combo! The lyrics are typical Valee-ism and the beneficiery in this case is KH ('nAn thAn sakala kalA vallavan', which is quite fitting)! IR's extremely succesful mix of class & mass :wink: In other words, presenting some novel, innovative orchestration in a thoroughly commercial format and succeed! The trumpets, bass, synth and the drums - AhA, I love the drum-hitting-in-the-end-of-the-saraNam! One of IR's best drum sounds:-)
SPB thoroughly enjoyed this song (made for each other)! Equally enjoyable is the karOke version which got played on buses often.
Watched the movie at the time of release in Trichy Cauvery theater (a/c located in the congested Palakkarai area) and it was one of the very few occasions when I got scared by the rowdyism in crowd :-( Anyways, the movie created bad taste in many ways and that was just one. Ofcourse, the best part of the movie was katta vaNdi (2 times) and nilA kAyudhu, both MV songs. (IR-KH possibly differentiated the kAttAn KH & modern KH with MV-SPB which went in favor of MV)...
