  Thanks raj, I'll try to.
  
  Btw, the MGR film that K.Shankar was working on at the same time as Aalayamani was Panathottam. Kalangarai Vilakkam came a couple of years later.
  
  sk had written a great account of 'Satti suttadhada' when it was earlier featured as SOTD.

  Please include 'Paadi azhaithen unnai idho thedum nenjam' song from the film 'rasigan oru rasigai' in SOTD collection. Please give the background for this haunting song as well as the composer (Ravidran).

  Great song!!!
  
  Sad part is AR Rahman copied this for his Pukar "Sunta hai mera Kudah" and shabbily used again in a Prashant crap movie STAR "Solladhey Solai Kili".
  
  Original is always the Best.

  A classic!
  
  I think Kavingnar was right,There was nothing called "Idai" for any barrel shapes. I wish this song should have had a face a Devika/Savithri/Vyju on screen.LRE adds a mystic effect to this song.Scintillating stuff.
  
  ARR is not the only MD who took inspiration from this song and thats a "Sadhanai"of this song.

  Reminded of a close and faithful friend who hummed songs all day long in class, and used to mention this as his alltime favorite song - my school deskmate from 1989-92, after which life directed us along different directions enriched by a precious reunion every few years.

  bb: Good choice! You took me to my days in Bangalore when the movie was released. Good to hear something from your parents' generation once in a while!

  A 'modern' version of this song is given by ARR in the film `alli arjuna', `sollAthE sOlai kiLi' (which came in hindi first). I think ARR also did a good job.

  OSIG -- Barrel holds good for Savithiri and Devika too.. it's even worse because they were short

  Savithri's barrel holds the most :-))

  Song of the Day: kOdi inbam, marudha manjakkizhangE from nenjilaadum poo ondRu.
  
  - Saravanan writes:
  
  ‘Ah, happy, happy boughs, that cannot shed
  your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu;
  And, happy melodist, unwearied,
  For ever piping songs forever new’
  
  The Maestro celebrates his birthday today, and let us offer our salutations to him, and our wishes for many more happy years filled with the magic of music.
  
  And let us rejoice with two songs from nenjilaadum poo ondRu:
  
  1. ‘kOdi inbam mEniyengum’ by SPB & SJ
  
  http://www.newtfmpage.com/cgi-bin/stream.pl?url=http://www.dhool.com/sotd/kodi.rm
  
  2. ‘marudha manjakkizhangE’ by SPB & VJ
  
  http://www.newtfmpage.com/cgi-bin/stream.pl?url=http://www.dhool.com/sotd/marudham.rm
  
  Lyrics by Vaali. Music by Ilayaraja.
  
  Selva Vinayaga Films’ Nenjilaadum Poo Ondru is yet another film that sleeps undisturbed in the cans, never destined to reach the silver screen. The film’s album, thankfully, was released- the record cover proclaims the year of its manufacture as 1979. And displays Saratbabu in an intimate embrace with some unfamiliar actress.
  
  ‘Thankfully’ I said, because the elusive album cunningly secrets within its seldom explored confines, some bewitching compositions of IR- compositions that surely warranted a happier destiny, grander commercial and critical acclaim.
  
  ‘kOdi inbam mEniyengum’ is a magnificent masterpiece in Malayamarutham. SJ’s cuddlesome humming that establishes the enchanted mood for a joyous revelry of romance, and the fantasy-laden pallavi that opens up such spectacular vistas of an unabashed celebration of love, SPB who makes an unheralded welcome entry as the delirious man’s voice, to engulf his beloved Preethi with his amorous edicts, the violin that showers bushels of fragrant flowers upon the lovers, the lilting charanams that are interwoven seamlessly into the magic--surely dreams are made of such precious stuff--Million pleasures indeed!
  
  ‘marudha manjakkizhangE’ offers an equally tempting, but a contrasting folksy fare--VJ’s seductive invitation is irresistible, and a mesmerizing flute escorts us right into the midst of a torpid evening in a rustic milieu, where the slanting rays of the setting sun fall upon a pair of lovers rapturously capering across the carpet of greenery. The bashfully uttered lines of the pallavi, SPB’s honeyed humming that follows, the interludes that blend in so masterfully with the rural ambience, the meandering charanams that flow so alluringly into the pallavi—all come together to ensure a delightfully refreshing treatment for the hackneyed plot of the man’s lusty advances being checked by the virtuous woman imposing a restraint on proceeding further until the sanctification of the union by wedlock.
  
  ‘vaanam engE mEgam engE, oru mEdai koNdu vaa’ is the third duet from the film, and an unforgettable song it is by JC & SJ---SJ soaring over the chorus voices in the prelude, and JC commencing the high-pitched charanam with ‘viN meengaL thalatta’ are glorious moments in this sadly forgotten song.
  
  ‘oru moodan kadhai sonnaal en kadhai adhuthaan’, the fourth song in the album captures MV in a rare ruminative mood, and his earthy tones bring in a hue of wry resignation to a love which is destined to go unrequited.
  
  So let the timeless magic of vintage IR entrance us with these two rare numbers-
  
  ‘Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
  are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on--’

  bb/Saravanan, good job. Sara, hadnt heard the marudha song until now. Kodi Inbam has some vintage IR interludes
  
  
• From: rosavasanth (@ 157.82.18.234) on: Wed Jun 2 03:54:55 EDT 2004
  
  thanks for again reminding the redio ceylon days!
  
  
• From: raj (@ 203.197.142.162) on: Wed Jun 2 04:04:15 EDT 2004
  
  Kodi inbam is a nice song
  but Marutha is not that appealing !!
  
  Thanks for the songs

  Saravanan,
  
  Just curious to know! Do you pen these writeups every Tuesday night to meet the wednesday deadline or do you write quite a few episodes(!) in one go (like they shoot mega serials!)and send them to bb one at a time ?
  
  
• From: Naaz (@ 24.87.30.219) on: Wed Jun 2 09:19:47 EDT 2004
  
  Saravanan -
  
  Never thought I'd hear these two songs again in this lifetime. But how I thrill to this "happier destiny"!
  Vintage IR and that magical freshness, every song from his earlier works had an allure to match the anticipation. The mystique of eagerness and expectation took over the listener when his name was announced on the airwaves. And he always delivered another dazzler with such casual mastery. Later on, after the first six years, the songs became random in rapture, the compositions turning studied and prepackaged with success and stature.
  
  Kodi Inbam carried me with it's lilt. A precursor to Engengo Sellum En Ennangal. Signature SJ-SPB duet.
  
  Marudha Manjakkizhange - as rustic as a red earth road, a gushing water-pump on the fringes of a paddy field. VJs opening is stellar, SPBs humming is a balm.
  
  Thanks for this fine revival! (What birthdays are all about :-)?

  My dad who is an avid Carnatic music lover was completely bowled over by "Kodi Inbam" . I vaguely remember "Oru moodan",a sad song on Shivaranjini and "Vaanam enge" is my personal favourite and it has some scintillating chorus interludes.Thanks for digging out the treasure.

  Saravanan,
  
  The “Grecian Urn” is a vivid description of a few delicate feelings of response to “beauty” only a very few English poets like Keats had the sensibility to express. Yes, there are a few songs in Tamil Film Music that have ‘frozen’ in them such moments of blissful artistic expressions. I couldn’t hear the songs (at work) to comment if those songs appealed to me similarly as the frozen time in the Urn appealed the poet, but I liked those quotes and your taste in quoting them.
