Based on the info we got from Murali sir, each song of UG got penned by a different lyricist. And, we have the mAnE thEnE thingy in two songs So, the statement of 'mAnE / thEnE ellAm pOttukkagna' seems to be the norm of TFM during IR's peak. (May be even before and after that time period).

One imaginary conversation during UG composing (assuming the politician producer was present)...

rAsA to lyricist # 1 : aNNE, indha meterkku oru pAttu
lyricist #1: mAnE thEnE kattippudi
producer : pramAdham, ippadiyE irukkattum

rAsA (thinking - 'illEnnA Auto varum') - AmANNE romba kachchidhamA irukku

rAsA to lyricist # 2: idhu oru menmaiyAna thAlAttu aNNE
lyricist # 2 : thEnE thenpANdi meenE
producer : deiveegam, keep it!

rAsA (thinking - 'eppudi ellArum sathi paNrAngO, hmmm, EdhAchchum instrumentalla shape paNNa vENdiyathu thAn') - nallA irukku saar...

Before next song, during the interval, meets the lyricist # 3 in the rest room, 'sAr, eppadiyAchchum indha mAn thEn illAma ezhudhunga sAr'

Back to composing...

rAsA to L #3 : idhu dhAn tune

L # 3 : pAdu nilAvE thEn kavidhai

rAsA (thalaiyai pichchufying, but thinking of auto)...romba nallArukku sAr

Later asks L #3, 'nAn un kitta enna sonnEn'.

L #3 replies 'neenga sonnadhukkappuRam producer vandhu 'mAn' or 'thEn' illAtti pinneeruvEnnu solleettAr, nAn enna paNNa'


Interesting song, with the sweet mridhangam arrangement. Funny to watch on screen, what a number of ways to make fun of police in movies
