startling banals

This song is from the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou" which has other good songs like "I am a man of constant sorrow" and "Go to sleep u little babe". Santosh and I used to jam randomly with him playing the guitar very innovatively and me trying to sing. Singing songs like "Mahiwal mere", "Yaar bina dil mera nahi lagda", "Khudi ko kar buland itna", "Kaha jo unhone", "Mast Kalandar" and of course "Sayyonee" from Junoon's Azadi album was great - hail Baba Bulleshah! One of our victims was Harry Belafonte - esp the song "Jamaica Farewell" and of course Julie Delpy's song - "Let me sing you a waltz" (lyrics)from the movie "Before Sunset" - a must watch. Then Santosh changed the rhythm and tempo of Nancy Sinatra's "Bang bang" (which was used by Tarantino in Kill Bill I opening titles) making it jazzy. And "California dreaming" used both in Forrest Gump and Wong Kar Wai's Chunking Express (which had another good song - "What a difference a day makes"), Nancy Sinatra's "Summer wine" , "Yellow bandana" and Elvis Presley's "Fools rush in". Let me add sheepishly that we also had wild goes at hindustani classical (like "Aayo kaha se ghanshyaam" :D) with tabla, guitar, flute and vocals. Again thanx to evenstar for the file sharing idea. And thanx to President's Day so that I have a long weekend to indulge in blogging... And this is "Jungle Jungle baat chali hai pata chala hai" - from the DD Jungle book serial starring Mowgli, Bagheera, Bhalu and company.

Thank you for the Jungle Book Song... :-) You have no idea how happy listening to it makes me.... and a little sad too, maybe nostalgic...

I was wondering, do you have others like Gayab Aya and Tap Tap Topi Topi?

nice idea this...i'll soon upload the "ek-anek..ek chidiya" video.

that serial was really nice - a very good & original dubbing into hindi maybe better than the english one. all that "alvida mowgli, apna khayaal rakhna .." was sweet. I wonder what do today's children get to watch. kaa must be having some idea. CCI :)
sorry evenstar i don't have those tracks, kaa might post that "ek anek" cartoon.
cheers!

we should make a database of such old, nostalgic jingles and tracks...
does anyone remember ,,,Bubble soap---"doosra sabun kyon lena huko hamara bubbles dena"
