    (The "rework" of this song was in 'unnAl mudiyum thambi' by K Balachandar / Kamal as enna samayalO with SPB / KSC / Sundanda)

    Last night I was "singing" 'mamamamamama-mamamamamama-manjaL podiyum engE - masAlAppodi engE' and both my nephew & niece (who are visiting) laughed and said 'mAmA kAmedy paNrAru'. When I told them that I was simply singing a movie song, they told I was joking. So, I played this MM song from thiraippAdal and everyone (esp my 5 year old) thoroughly enjoyed the song. We played the Dr Udhayamoorthy number also and shared some light moments

    For this compilation of SPB-IR songs yearwise, I've been generally using rAkkamma & thiraippadal that are more reliable than many other web resources and both failed on the MM song. When I saw yesterday this album in 1982 list, said to myself "that can't be, 'AnanthaththEn kARRu' and the ching-chAw sound in its first interlude were my school days stuff...my cousin's pet love of IR's lead guitar / jAlrA combo...1982 was my college period...So, some googling had to be done and some sites correctly report this inreco album as a 1979-er. Why does these two relatively better sites list it under 1982? I don't know, may be the movie - which IMO never left the cans - possibly had a release that year.

    In any case, great light classical song with kitchen references and associating them with rAgA names. Someone please confirm if those portions are actually based on those rAgAs. SPB enjoys himself and the song should have been an IR favourite as he reused it in UMT. (The movie UMT itself was a remake of the IR-NA-award-winning-Telugu-movie-rudraveeNA but the original didn't have the samaiyal song I think, so there could be Kamal-push here).

    Both versions of this song should not be missed by IR-SPB lovers!
    (BTW, when it's time for punjai uNdu nanjai uNdu, I'll exclude the samiyal duplicate)
