TFM boasts of several contemporary poets like Bharadhidhasan, Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram, Kannadhasan and Vali (Version I) who penned several songs dealing with social issues such as work ethic (uzhaippu), labor rights, women's position in society, religion, caste, patriotism/ nationalism, money/power/greed and the such. In addition, non-film kavidhaigaL from Bharadhi and Bharadhidhasan have been included in TFM to heighten social awareness.
Let's go ahead and discuss some of these songs--old and new--which address some key social issues even as they were entertaining the masses in the context of the movie situation. Please elaborate on the lyrics and your thoughts on the same as your time would allow.

Kanchana:
Yes; kalangaathiru manamE is from Kanniyin Kadhali
and is indeed his first song. In 1948 a young fellow by name
Muththaiah went to Kovai Central Studio asking for a chance
to write stories for movies. Since there were many story writers
there, Director Ramnath asked Muththaiah whether he was
interested in writing songs. Muththaiah immediately agreed
and Kannadhasan was born right at that instant. aaN
vEdam koNda peN innOru peNNukku aaRudhal kooRum kattaththukku
paadal ondru vENdum endru Ramnath kEtka, Kannadhasan koduththa
paadaldhaan kalangaathiru manamE. The director and
the MD (SM Subbaiah Naidu) were very impressed. Kannadhasan
was immediately hired for a salary of 100 Rupees per song (a
great amount in those days)!
Shyam:
Following is a poem penned by Vaali soon after Kannadhasan
passed away.
