Please view all ARR-VM combo songs. Most of the songs having first two words same. I think ARR-VR feels that it is luck and continuing the same.
Eg.
Chinna chinna aasai - roja
rukkumani rukkumani - roja
mottuvittatha mottuvittatha - pavithra
uyire uyire - bombay
puththam puthu poomi - Thiruda thiruda
kannum kannum - Thiruda thiruda
malargale malargale - love birds
monalisa monalisa - Mr. Romeo
muthu muthu mazhai - Mr. Romeo
margazhipoove margazhipoove - maymatham
chikubuku chikubuku - Gentleman
chillallava chillallava - En swasa katre
chinna chinna mazhai thuli - En swasa katre
enswasakatre enswasakatre - En swasa katre
I remember this much only. But there are lot of songs from ARR-VM combo only.

A huge majority of ARR's songs will have repetitive words (or word groups) in the beginning. I don't think any other music composer in the world equals this phenomenon (correct me if i'm wrong).
It's a hangover from his advertising days, where repetition in jingles is standard given its proven potential to subliminally influence audience attention. That also explains why even his inane songs (all IMHO only!!) like "oorvashi/ shakalakka/ smiyai.."are such huge hits with kids. To me, it appears that these are very well targeted towards immediate attention but short retention spans, after which the recall fade-out is much faster. Viewed from a product marketing viewpoint, this seems a very deliberate and calculated ploy.
To illustrate, take the 2 latest ARR releases
In "Alaipaayuthe", almost all songs except the title track (which is not an original lyrical composition) have a repetitive start..
1 snehidane snehidane
2 pachai nirame pachai nirame
3 september maadham september maadham
In KKKK, all except "sandhana thendralai" and "kannamoochi"
1 kandukonden kandukonden
2 konjum mainakkale konjum mainakkale
3 smiyai yai
I find this a major irritant in ARR's style, and am biased towards those rare songs out of this format
(ex: "kaiyil midhakkum - ratchagan", "nila kaigiradhu - indira", "pudhu vellai - roja" .....)

>>>it appears that these are very well targeted towards immediate attention but short retention spans, after which the recall fade-out is much faster<<<<
Suresh..then how come we recall all these songs even now...going by the list everybody is givig here...so the point is that ARR uses these hooks to get your attention into the song...then he uses his brilliance in the interiors to give you an experience that you can recall whenever you want to....
Now since an extensive list of ARR has already been given..I just want to add 2 numbers of IR that I recalled now :
1) Senthoora poove...Senthoora poove...
2) Masthana...Masthana..

cosmician ..dont take whatever suresh says easily..He is a seasoned DFer with lots of time spent analysing (not just discussing) stuff. You need to do more than come up with just 2 examples from IR..Actually, you are looking in the wrong place. You should be looking at all ARR albums/songs more closely.

Ok Kiru....I accept...
Does this mean ARR is a moron and no-good ?
Does this mean that ARR has built his own style ?
Does this mean that Lyricists give him no choice ?
Does this mean that he is presurrized by directors and producers to give only catchy number ?
What is your analysis ?
