Counterpoint!

We are all familiar with IR's extensive use of counterpoints in TFM. I wanted to know if any one else in TFM has used counter points effectively and made a song hit. If so can you please name the movie, the song and the music director?

  IR*,
  
  "counterpoint. The ability, unique to mus., to say two things at once comprehensibly. The term derives from the expression punctus contrapunctum, i.e. `point against point' or `note against note'. A single `part' or `voice' added to another is called `a counterpoint' to that other, but the more common use of the word is that of the combination of simultaneous parts or vv., each of significance in itself and the whole resulting in a coherent texture. In this sense counterpoint is the same as polyphony."
  
  Some examples:
