  CV, how I long to be so well-planned :))
  
  This is how it is most of the time: I send the song to bb on Monday. Then I sit to write only on Tuesday (evening/ night) and reach it to bb late Tuesday night!
  This time, particularly, was terribly last minute. I had initially planned on a MSV treat, but realized later that Wednesday happens to be IR's b'day, so changed to (what I thought) were two rare JC-SJ duets- 'sendhoorakkolam' from Durgadevi & 'alaiye kadal alaiye' from Thirukkalyanam. Then I noticed that 'sendhoorakkolam' is already available in dhool, and hurriedly picked on Nenjilaadum Poo Ondru :)
  
  Naaz, you have so aptly described the excitement of IR's heady early years!
  
  Da Vinci, we are surely kindred souls- for I too can never get enough of Keats :) I am sure you'll like these songs as well, for as Keats ends his Grecian Urn- 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know!'

  Birthday for one and gifts for someone else!
  
  This Malayamarutham was a sandamarutham which took the fans by storm.Probably the release of Nejil aadum poo ondru might have exposed one more inadequate picturisation of one another great song. This was IR's best MM ahead of Amuthey Thamizhe,Poojaikaga Vaazhum and kaNmani nee vara. GA 's wannabe effort with SNS " Neelagiri poove"and "vaa vaa en veenaye"were just further derivatives with more maths and less music.
  
  Marutha starts off with a mild touch of Bageswari and runs into IR 's more familiar territory in the charanams.But VJ/SJ/SPB have done themselves and IR proud with their superb singing.
  
  SJ/PJs "Vaanam engeY" might beat "Kodi enbam"marginally as the best song of this movie.PJ's high pitch start off of charanams was tried by IR in many a song like "Geetha Sangeetha","Oru vaana vil pole".I shall do the needful to bring out that song in the coming weeks!!
  
  But MV's Öru moodan"is Kumar Sanu stuff and Sanu would be ideally suited to sing the pallavi.
  
  When is GA's birthday? treat us with PJ's "Thendral oru paadam sonnathu".
  
  Kodi inabthukku Keats,Marutha Manja kizhangukku Milton,vaanam engeYkku Shelly .......TFM is moving from Cauvery karai to the banks of Thames?

  Amuthae thamizhae rasikaranjani(RR)-nnu padichcha gnaabagam.
  
  If what I read is right then we have a nice migration -- RR to MM, just like cauvery to thames ;-)

  Song of the Day: ponmagaL vandhaaL from sorgam.
  
  http://www.newtfmpage.com/cgi-bin/stream.pl?url=http://www.dhool.com/sotd/ponmagal.rm
  
  - Sung by T.M.S. Music by M.S.Viswanathan. Lyrics by Alangudi Somu.
  
  - Sriram Lakshman writes:
  
  ponmagaL vanthAL....certainly Alangudi Somu (the lyricist as we discovered to our surprise) wouldn't have imagined the scantily clad, well endowed in the flesh, Vijayanirmala to partake in Sivaji's dreams of affluence. Now, shutting the 'at times gory' visuals out and switching to the 'radio mode', the song is a marvel. The lyrics portraying an expansive mood, the tune gaining in pace and expressed through TMS' imperial vocals, the song seems to start and end all at the same time!!! Two interludes and two charanams have zipped past timelessly, such is the flow conceived by the composer MSV. Sadly, in this version, much of the prelude has been chopped off as is the case with the second interlude and the postlude. The postlude in non-existant in this Vividh Bharathi version, which as we all 'vivid'ly remember truncated songs to accommodate ads. The novelty here is the unexpected introduction of Mridangam in the charanams, add to it the violin counters and the tune racing to a grand finish... unfortunately nipped off in this version. The female chorus backup the last time the pallavi is delivered, renders a sense of finality to the song and finishes off in a crescendo, a high, aptly conceived. The song is based on Hindustani Kapi (close to Karaharapriya).
  
  Sivaji, as I was told rejected the tune outright stating that it sounded like the chanting of Thirupugazh. It took a lot of cajoling on the part of the director and the composer to the get the song past Sivaji and are we glad !!! Enjoy the song that was sneaked past our dear, dear simmakkuralOn.
  
  - More on Alangudi Somu here: http://www.dhool.com/sotd2/369.html and http://www.newtfmpage.com/my/lyricist/aalan.html
  
  - Listening to the song today, I somehow felt the song was slower than the last time I heard it. Can someone confirm that it is not a problem with the file?

  Dear BB,
  
  Nice song to hear. Song as well as picturisation were excellent.
  
  TR Ramanna, the noted director for this film. Almost all his songs have interesting theme lines to picturise. The songs in his films like Kathavarayan, Parakkum Pavai, Panakkar kudumbam, Pasam, Panam Padaithavan, Naan, Puthumai Pithan, Thangasurangam demonstrted the quality of the song.
  
  The song is immediately after the title. In Sorgam, Sivaji dreams to become a wealthy person and dreams for Ponmagal. Vijayalaitha dances as Ponmagal in the backyard of gold, diamond and Rupees. In the end of the song, the tree full of rupee notes gives Sivaji lot of money. Aftre the dream it was the leaves of a tree on Sivaji. In the shooting Ramanna used the real rupuee notes. The song was a hit with other songs like Sollathe Yarum Kettal, MRR Vaasu and Nagesh Chorus song etc.
  
  The present song, MSV as usual used LR Eswari as the main Chrous voice for good special effect like Alayamani, Panam Padaithavan, Pathakanikkai etc. TMS golden voice suits perfectly to slim Sivaji.
  As a whole, the song was enjoyable.
  
  Regards,
  
  B.P. Thiagarajan

  I expected to see rush of posts from IR fans when songs from NAPO have been featured.Hmm..
  
  Pattu vadhiyar,Manasellam,Thendral varum theru,Poovarasan -ivatRukellam aayakkal poatu thooki nirutha varubavargaL en NAPO paatukku varavillai?I am sure few of the HCIRF will have these songs in their collections....but in memory too????
  
  Ponmagal vandhaL..
  Marupadiyum TMS..this time on a happy note.As pointed out by SL think of this song without the visuals.(kurangai ninakama marundhai kudippathu pol!).Vijayalalitha was at best, a desparate cannibal's delight,her personal accomplishments as a man-eater nothwithstanding.
  
  The seamless merger of the words "Selvathin,velvettin" "MuthukkaL,thithikkum "with the mirudhangam rhythm is another classic point.The use of Vil (villupaatu) is another novelty.
  
  SL,was the Iravnil aatam write-up done after Iravinil aatam?

  wonderful song it is. ethuhai and monai were wonderful and even the instruments accomodate them. It sounds even the instruments sing. Typical MSV song with all the aspects good. But as OISG told, it is very difficult to erase the picturization even while listening the song. (Kurangai nainaichu marundhu kudicha kathai). :-)))

  Okay, I'm listening to 'Kodi Inbam' right now. My favorite part of the song is the anupallavi and the third interlude. However, I do not agree that it is a stunner of a song, like other DFers have said. I'd rather hear 'Oomai Nenjin Sontham' or 'Neelagiri Poove'. [BTW, OISG, what's wrong with the latter song?]
  
  It's too bad IR didn't give any Malayamaarutham numbers post 80s! Or did he??? Even though there is one Rasikaranjani number [no need to blurt out the answer] in a recent film by him.

  The chorus hummings, the tasty guitar strumming leading us to the charanams that breakout like firecrackers provide such a rush. TMS indulges the lyrics like a hungry man at a banquet feast. Yet another song of Aalangudi Somu that I had attributed to Kannadhaasan. Somu deserves some dedicated research. I've always held this song in high esteem for the expansive imagination of ambition. Any fool can write about the perils of life, about heartache. It takes a poet to write about happiness, to imagine such richness for such a fast sandham. If you break the following lines as a pudhukkavidhai it will come to two words per line, how tight and perfect a fit, wow:
  thirumagal sammatham
  tharugiraal ennidam
  manadhilae nimmathi
  malarvadhoa punnagai
  
  Today's poets and MDs would've filled it with sounds defying any language (think, "oh mugalai chillallae").

  Abraham Maslow and his Hierarchy of Needs can take a walk— our Alangudi Somu has a created a dazzling model, where the Need pyramid gets converted to a cornucopia, where acquisition of wealth, that too in mind-boggling plentitude, forms the sum and substance of existence!
  
  What a wonderful introduction to the mindset of Shankar(the role played Sivaji)! Ramanna could effortlessly carry on with the proceedings after this song with which the film opens, since the viewer gets well acquainted with the man and his mind within these few minutes! The majesty of TMS, propelled by the mastery of MSV constructs the build-up with enticing élan. The postlude delightfully portrays the shaking of the money-tree, and Shankar is rudely shaken out of his reverie by a group of school kids shaking the branches of the tree whose stump he had chosen to slumber upon. And he is left to sheepishly face the teacheramma Vimala (K.R.Vijaya).
  
  Sorgam (1970/ Sri Vinayaga Pictures) was directed by Ramanna, and produced by his brother T.R.Chakravarthi. Nannu’s interesting story was further enhanced by Sakthi Krishnaswami’s taut screenplay and dialogues. Muthuraman, Rajasri, Balaji, Manohar, Chachu, MRR Vasu & Nagesh formed rest of the cast.
  
  ponmagal vandhaaL was the only song in the album that came to Somu, while the others were penned by Kannadasan- oru muthaarathil muppathu muthu (PS), azhagu mugam pazhagu sugam (Jikki/SJ), sollaathE yaarum kEttaal (TMS), naalu kaalu saar, naduvilE oru vaalu saar (ALR, SV Ponnusami, LRE).
