Hi Folks,
I'm starting this thread to discuss and enlighten myself about some of the worst lyrics written for TFM. I can list a Few:
1. Dai Dai Dingiri Doi kathirikolu by TR.
2. Sangu chakkara sami vandhu... by VM
3. Lalaakku dol dappi ma by Vaali
innum evvalavo thevittatha ganangal.
Any Contributions?

It is worth mentioning at this juncture a gret song from "Shakthi": It is "yaanai yaanai". I am giving the lyrics. It is worth reading once ( and once only):
yaanai yaanai pattikaattu yaanai oNNu jeti pOttu varudhu paaru
yaanai mela vaigaiyila kappal vidum vadivelu vaaran paaru
gumma gumma nee kulichu paaru summa
idhu elizabeth rani vandhu kuLichu pona kamma
(haisalakkadi haisalakkadi haisalakkadi hai
haisalakkadi haisalakkadi haisalakkadi hai)
gumma gumma idhu reel illai amma
andha rani mudhugu thechadhu en paatiyoda amma
((haisalakkadi haisalakkadi haisalakkadi hai
haisalakkadi haisalakkadi haisalakkadi hai)
unga tholu mattum veLLai
vandhadichadhellam koLLAi
kruppaga irundhaalum
enga uLLam ella veLLAIveLLai
(adutha 2 line suththmaga puriyavillai)
enna kizhicha vedigudndu pOttu azhichey ada
enga naatu idli pOla enga kaNdu pidichey
((haisalakkadi haisalakkadi haisalakkadi hai
haisalakkadi haisalakkadi haisalakkadi hai)
ellam mudichey nee nilavil kaalu padhichey
ada elani vettum enga styla paathu paththu muzhichey
((haisalakkadi haisalakkadi haisalakkadi hai
haisalakkadi haisalakkadi haisalakkadi hai)
en kuzhai puttu vegam
on rocket enna aagum
karagaatam oyilaattam idhai olympicil serka venum
vasadhi migundha ungaladhu ooril guLu guLu kumariyum kizhaviyai theriva
... engaladhu ooril gudu gudu kizhaviyum sadu gudu aaduvaa naattukatti paarunga
yayya yayya yayya yayaa (yaanai yaanai..whistle + dogwhining)
Please do not miss hearing this song. Pakka waste
Regards
Murali Sankar

Murali,
Great!!! Simply superb. What a lyric? Is it penned by VM or Vaali or Pazhani bharathi.
Vijay,
Sorry for posting such lyrics. I, too, am very sad to see the sad ruin of a field once ruled by lyricists like Kannadasan, Pattukkottai and maestro MDs like MSV-TKR and IR. But, the reason I am posting (and will continue to post) such lyrics is not that I am enjoying such songs. This is just to get the meaning of such lyrics clarified. Yedhaavadhu punniyavaan indha pagudhikku vandhu paarthu, namma unarchigala purinjikkittu, inimael indha maadhiri ellam ezhudha koodaadhu endru oru sattam kondu vandhaalaavadhu indha maadhiri arpudhamaana (?!) paadalgal ellam namma kaadhula thenaa paayaama irukkuma endra nappaasaila dhan indha kaetka kaetka thevittaadha gaanangala ezhudhuraen. ungal manasai pun paduthi irundhaal mannikkavum.
Srinath,
saami vandha mandhirichu malai iranga vaikkanum. Adhukkum namma isai amaippaalargalum paadalaasiriyargalum oru arpudhamaana paadalai iyarri vachu iruppaanga. Adhai kaettal saamikkae saami vandhudum.

Hi,
How about the following song (junk?!) from the film "Mr.Romeo"?
"anbae ennaalum un voiceu ac ac
endrum nee dhaanae number 1 pepsi pepsi
neeyum naan vandhu utkaarum gypsi gypsi
en nenjathai araikkindra mixie mixie
mere pyari pyari

anbae num love gamesu mudiyaadhamma
charlesum dianavum pirindhaal enna
darling num love endrum piriyaadhamma
kaadhal cricketilae bowling nee podadi
andha tendulkar pol sixer adippaenadi
vaadi vaadi endhan glaxo baby
ennai neengi ponaal yerum endhan BP
spielberg padam pola unai paarkiraen

nitham villayaadidum chinna tennis pandhu"

One old junky song:
En yerumai kannukutti erumai kannukutti
IR songs with such greatness:
(1)Vaadi en kappkizhangey
(2)Aatukkutti muttai ittu kozhikutti vandhadhunnu
(3)ABC nee vaasi ellam un kai raasi so easy (of course the tune is very melodious)
(4)Ponnumani ponnumani poraaley (from poonthottam)
(5)Singaari sarakku
(6)Aaha vandhiruchu aasaiyil "o"di vandhen
I am giving some glimpses of "Vaadi en kappa"
Vaadi en kappa kizhange en akka peththa mukkaa thuttey
paadaathey vaaya thorandhey
stupid
"kikkira pakka rekkira pakki...(not able to decode further)
ABCD 'n goppan thaadi doi nee
vandha vaadi varaatti podi eeyadicahaan kaappi adi doi
From (2)
Aatukkutti muttai ittu kozhi kutti vandhdhunnu yaani kunju solla kettu pona kunju vandhadhundu kathayillai saami ippo kaaNudhu boomi
I have always felt that IR's use of "kazhudhai" is also unparalleled. For eg:(1) and (2)

Hi,
Reg the previous posting, most of Deva's gaana songs have idiotic lyrics penned by some jerk named P(a)onniyin Selvan !! Another set of rotten lyrics are from Indhu .I think they were by Vaali.
- From: chandy (@ 131.230.25.38) on: Fri Nov 3 15:11:04 EST 2000
Ichi, i agree with u 100%. The so-called gaana songs of Deva are a disgrace to TFM!!
Compared to these gaana, the taminglish numbers by VM are much better!!
- From: fan (@ 216.190.255.35) on: Fri Nov 3 16:06:45 EST 2000
in the song " bomabiye pani porii...
there is a line....
tennis matchla stefi graf egiri kudhicha dont miss dont miss
The entire song has some crap lines like these.
not only ghana songs, deva himself should be banned.
- From: JB (@ 192.135.215.21) on: Fri Nov 3 16:36:27 EST 2000
Well.. Many songs with ridiculous lyrics have gone on to become big hits. Can't really blame the "kavignar???***" alone. I think the masses also have some role in lyrics like these coming up in TFM. They get what they deserve sometimes.
- From: Trend (@ 216.68.113.227) on: Fri Nov 3 16:45:03 EST 2000
JB,
Never underestimate the public.These type of songs become hit b'cos the tune is OK in the first place and the lyrics are overlooked.The song becomes a bigger hit if the lyrics are good.
If you take the songs "Annanagar aandalu" and "Thanjavur mannu eduthu".Both had the same tune.Thanjavur mannu became a bigger hit because it had better lyrics.The tunes I suppose were good according to the public.
My opinion is most of the people have a better taste than we expect.People with worse taste make more noise so that their taste comes out as the public taste.

MS! compared to all these, ABC nee vAsi had been much more tolerable (esp. considering the scene in which a teacher wife educates an illiterate husband in the 1st night...A for Apple B for Bed C for Child D for Darkness etc:-))
- From: e (@ 61.1.250.162) on: Sat Nov 4 04:10:54 EST 2000
konjam kavithuvam uLLa sila varigal in ABC nee vAsi:
F: azhagiya `paLLi-aRai' idhu
M: `paLLiyaRai' paLLi-aRai yA?
F: paLLi vandhu solliththara vandhEn
M: sollithandhu varum kalaiyA?
later..
F: varaimuRai ena ondRu uNdu vAi pothi kELungaL
M: pudavaiyum mella vilaguthu En endRu pArungaL
in another place `koduthadhai thiruppikkodu, adhu enna ilavasamA' reference for kiss...
I think the song, given the situation & when seen from a husband-wife context, suits well and VM had done reasonably well -except the `ABC' stuff:-)
Digression:
MS, OKD pArthadhillayA? Portions of this movie was great (Kamal-Radha / old Kamal-Revathi interactions)...

Hi,
How about these
1.Jurassic parkil indru sugamana jodigal jazz music padi varudhu ??? - Vaali
2.Salomiya song had crap filled lyrics, which really proved how a lovely tune , though copied from Sayonee could be made to sound like 2 donkeys wailing at night by our Deva's singing and VM's lyrics.
