  Venkat - Fathers are the forgotten species, and TFM is no exception. Here is one.
  
  Thanthaiyei poal theivam undoa? - TMS
  
  Paalootti valarththa kili is sung by a dejected father. Maybe, these kind of songs should also be included. :-))

  I know two songs that give equal status to monm and dad and celebrates both:
  "Annaiyum Thandhaiyum Thaanae"
  "Thaayir Chirandha Kovilum Illai, Thandhai sol mikka mandhiram illai"
  
  Other than those, I can only think of references in the middle of songs:
  "Kannaana Thandhaiyai Kanneeril Thallinaen"
  
  There are songs celebrating fatherhood:
  "Vizhigalae Vizhigalae Kavidhai Ondru Punaiyungal
  Imaigalae Imaigalae Aanandha Kanneeril Nanaiyungal
  Indha Paerinbam Eanendru Kaelungal
  Endhan Paer Solla Oar Pillai Paarungal"
  
  "Putthi Sigaamani Pettha Pullai"
  
  There are songs regretting fatherhood:
  "Ada Naan Petha Maganae Nadaraaja
  Ippo Aendaa Porandhae Magaraaja"

  "Appappa Naan Appanallada"

  In a lighter vein, how about a song that's about a modern-day (single) dad in Mouna Geethangal :--)
  
  Daddy daddy oh my daddy...

  Venkat:
  
  There is a K.J. Yesudas gem "Kannaana Kannaa Unnei Enna Solli Thaalaatta..." (BTW, can anyone
  help me with the names of the movie and MD?). In the last stanza, the little kid sings:
  
  "Anpaana Appaa Unnei Enna Solli Paaraatta,
  Paarvathi Sabayilei Kaiyye Vittu Paalootta,
  Anaathai Polei Vanthein Naanei,
  Appaavum Ammaavum Yaa Nee Thaanei........"
  
  Being a father myself, those lines bring tears to my eyes whenever I listen to this song.

  To Ramki and other TFM DF participants:
  
  Thanks a million, Ramki, for the info about "Kannaana Kannaa..". In my collection, I have over 400 KJY Tamil movie songs. I do not know the names of the movies or MDs for a good number of them. Any suggestions as to how I can get this information? Thank you.
