Dil dance maare

"White white face dheke dilwah beating fast sasura
Jaan se maare reeee eehhheeee
Aare
White white face dheke dilwah beating fast sasura
Jaan se maare re
Ohhhooo
White white face dheke
Aahh…
White white face dheke dilwah beating fast sasura
Jaan se maare re
Oh very… oh very…
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re"


Initial reaction - "Holy shit, what were they even thinking while composing this...and they call it a song... Bollywood is going no where"

Then - "Hmmm.... music is catchy... a dance number.... I am sure it must be blaring in all parties and dance floors and people dancing as weirdly as these guys have in the movie"

After a while - "Lyric sucks but who cares.... wish I could come up with such a crap and make money"

Now - "This is cool and awesome in its own way"

These are my reactions for this song from Tashan.... the movie bombed in the box office but music caught everyone's attention.... including mine :P Some people, like the composers of this song, can throw any kind of shit, manage to get away with it, make money AND.... make millions of people listen to their crap... Isn't that cool?! I mean.... just listen to the lyrics.... what does it have to offer? Nothing.... Doesn't have anything to make a song a song!!!

Try this, put on your head phones/ear phones.... listen to some song by Gulzar or Javed Akthar and the likes.... and then, tune in to this one.... Amazing transition.... you will tend to get psychotic for a while.... eccentricity unexplained.... get entertained, feel recharged too and WOW... now you are tapping your leg and nodding your head for a weird desi dance number!!! Given a chance, you will get up from your desk or wherever you are sitting and try shaking your legs as well. After the momentary euphoria(yes, nothing less than that.... cos you are extremely happy hearing this song), as you get on with the day's routine, you keep humming "Dil daaance maare re" endlessly.... You just cant wait to listen to it again after going back home......in high volume :)
