தேங்க்ஸ் app _eng.

I double the pleasure listening to என்ன சமையலோ....too.

இலையை போடடி பெண்ணே இலையை போடடி....சமைத்த உணவை ருசித்துப் பார்க்க.....ராஜா ends with மத்யமாவதி ..கற்பகமே கண் பாராய்...கடைக்கண் பாராய்....திருமயிலை...

Unnal mudiyum thambi is a kamal masterpiece.

I love kamal when he stays with me in my heart after I finish watching the movie.
Salangai oli, Punnagai mannan, Unnal mudiyum thambi, sathi leelavathi etc...are like that for me.

#83 சமையல் பாடமே
(மணிப்பூர் மாமியார், 1979 / 1982 , ஷைலஜாவுடன்)

App, I have a doubt about this song for a long time, especially the year and it's association with Manipoor Maamiyaar. If you hear this song @3:52 SPB sings 'manorama, seetha'. I remember I have mentioned somewhere about this earlier. If this song was originally composed in 1979 or even 1982, there is a reference to 'Seetha' whose debut was Aan Paavam which was released only in 1985. Or that 'manorama seetha' line was just coincidence, I could not believe it. Even if it is coincidence, since this original song has "Manorama seetha", and KB wanted to reuse this song, so KB requested these two to act in UMT? Again could not believe it.

Other than that, the voice of SPB does not sound like 1979/82, he sounds like late 80s and the orchestration also resemble late 80s.

Can you please clarify?

கல்யாணி, வனிதா, சீதா, மனோரமா etc .. are names of those hostel girls .
that's all.

some hostelers are sick of their mess food , the guy is calling
hey கல்யாணி , are you a cook? she is asking for tumeric powder , dhal etc ..
மனோரமா, சீதா...சாதம் ஆக late aa ?
அடியே வனிதா is rice ready ?

that's what lyrics says..


உன்னால் முடியும் தம்பி situation
மன்னியை tease பண்ணுங்க younger மச்சினரும், குட்டி sister -in -law வும்
அப்பா இல்லாத நேரத்துலே அட்டகாசம் பண்ணி enjoy ...
மனோரமா happens to be மன்னி.

I'm 100% sure about Anantha thEn kARRu date - late 70's, my school age. Same goes with
'rasiganE, en arukil vA' that I clearly remember. Also, SPS was an IR fav at that time.

So, one would think 'samayal pAdam' too was a late 70's product. Since the movie never got released (as per my memory), this song possibly got limited exposure - say to a few broadcasts on IOKS, though I can't say for 100% sure.

BTW, look at this blog that has the inreco disk pic & claims 1979

Thanks baroque and App for confirmation.

Can't wait for you to reach Ponni Nathi in Mudhal Vasantham, which I suspect was composed and recorded way earlier. But I'll wait...

#84 மாலைசூடக்கண்ணே ராதா நாள் வராதா
(கண்ணே ராதா, 1982 , ஷைலஜாவுடன் )

As promised, a real 'light-weight' number for a Rama Narayanan movie (rare combo of this director working with IR, his regular association was with Shankar-Ganesh or lower). The then hot pair of Karthik-Radha (they did a few movies together following the jubilee debut), some otherwise cheap budget with some ok story made sure the investors got decent returns. IR was obviously heavy-weight for such a movie but then he was also known to be so prolific / high speed that the producers only stood to gain money by employing him despite his relatively bigger paycheck. (Even the "bigger" is quite suspect as he worked often without charge, friendship basis, gratitude basis, pAvam basis, pazhaya ALu basis etc).

In any case, quite a peppy number where IR tried some of his tricks-and-toys-of-the-day. SPB gives jolly thuLLal mode and his sis does what comes effortlessly to her.

Quite a regular on radio, this song also enjoyed some bus / cassette recording shop etc popularity.
