TFM has a good list of songs with comic lyrics.These songs had good pun,good music and gelled well with the sequence in the movie.
1. Jambulingame Jadhadhra (Kasedhan Kadvulada)
2. Hello My Darling (Engirutho Vanthal)
3. Varavu Ettana ( Bama Vijayam)
4. Thenatran KArayinile (Utharavindri Ulle Vaa)
5. Pavalan Paadiya (Mohd .Bin .Thuglaq)
6.Indrathi devargalum (Mohd.Bin Thuglaq)
I think this genere of songs have become a rarity since 1980s.

There is another song in MGR movie (EngaL Thangam?) where he comes in 'maaru vesham' as a bhagavathar and makes katha kalakshepam, about Indians sending rocket to the moon. What is that song?

naan pudicha maapillai thaan - from mundhanai mudichu created a sensation in the 80s - imo was one of the reasons why the movie became the biggest hit ever at that time (the main reason was of course Bagyaraj).
The song itself was hilarious.

Kaadhal kasakkudhayya from AaN Paavam - an "anti-love and pro-arranged marriage" song with hilarious lyrics . Liked the inclusion of Chinnappa and Nadigar Thilagam styles. A nice and meaningful musical comedy (mocking) song.

"thirupathi ezhumala venkatesa" - Ninaivirukkum varai... excellent n funny choreography by Raju sundaram n prabhu deva... especially the lean woman (Santhi, her real name) coming out of nowhere and dancing b4 prabhu deva.... same with "paatellam superhittudhaan" - Rasayya...
after Raju sundaram and prabhu deva started prominently choroeographing, funny movements hv been more... can we start a thread on this like "best choreographed disco/classical/dappanguthu songs" ?

Manitharul Manikkam has one of the greatest MSV compositions in Karahrapriya.
"I will sing for You.I will dance for you."
The scene itself was hilarious.Sivaji a doctor threatened by Pramila ( a mad women) with a knife ,to sing a song for her.
- From: vengayam (@ 203.200.84.66)
on: Thu Apr 25 02:49:26 EDT 2002
The background story of the song is that Sivaji was in Congress (o) that time & the time was emergency. so the song " i'll sing for you " had the following lines
Penne un kayil Raajangam irunthaal ellorum aadanuma ( Obviously referring to Indira gandhi)
Raajathi rajanum ravikkaikku bayanthu pin paatu paadanumma? ( the ref to fakruddin ali ahmed the then president who signed the proclamation of emergency at Mrs G's behest presumably from the bathtub - there was acartoon also to that effect later! )
i didn't see the movie so the sarcasm is even more now(what with pramila being portrayed as a mad woman).
the title itself is a reference to late perunthalivarK.Kamaraj.
It is entirely another matter that Sivaji joined Congress(I) within days of Kamraj's death & the first movie released after the event turned to be a super flop (pattum barathamum a good movie coming at the wrong time?)
pls forgive for digressing but i thought that this would be of interest .

You have mentioned paavalan paadiya pudhumaip
peNNai (MBT) as a comedy song. Is it really a
comedy song? The song alangaaram pOdhumadi
in Mr.Sampath (where Manorama has a dream in
which Cho sings the song and steals each one of
her jewels one at a time) is a hilarious song.

MBT song :
It would be Manorama ,the minister s birthday.You will have the staple Gandhi kulla,one samiyar etc
Murthy makes guest appearnace of the singer.It is a Pugazhvathu pol egazhum song.
Some of the lines are:
Nee irukkum idam kudiyirukkum ..
There will be a pass and then you hear "Cheers"with wine glasses.
Murthi comes back with "anbu kudiyirukkum"
The "Happy Birthday" would be sung totally in carnatic style.

Thanks for giving details about the background of
the song in the movie. I saw this movie more than
25 years ago and have completely forgotten the
details. But I do have the song in my collection
and listen to it once in a while.

isn't andha pakkam vaazhbavan romeo by Sai Baba? A wonderful comedy song. Even otherwise also IMO its a very good song.

Kannadasan s pun with
"Mayangitar " and "My Guitar" was terrific.
SL i also think it is by Saibaba.The movie was great.Jaishankar did the "House Husband" role to perfection.
the duet "angam pudhu vidham" was very good too.

Alangaram pothumadi and Thriyadho nokku (surya Kanthi) by Manorama are real classics.
In "alagangarm" when TMS(for CHO) Calls "Bakki"(pet name for Bagyalakshmi) Manorama retorts with "Ethu Bakki? (Jewels )Ellathayunthan Kazhatitingale"
Theriyadho nooku has a good cheoreo too with Manorama & A Sakunthala .

Was Manorama s name "Sowbakiyam" in Mr.Sampath?
The lyrics are really humourous!CHO rips of Manoramas jewels saying different reasons.
Ottiyanam ethukkadi ? Athu
Otti Uravada Othu varathadi
Kathu Thottai Kazhatradi Athu
Kathodu Naan pesa Thotahlladi
