Oh mahasiyaaa (ozhunga solluda!) :D

Yes, a number of things!
First, wish you all a happy Diwali!! A tad late, yeah, but never mind, hope you all had a nice day!!
Second, sound three cheers: this is my 75th post! :)

I watched Ghajini sometime back...and the background score for the movie sent me into peals of laughter. Random noises getting characteristic of Harris Jeyaraj: Bozo Zulo...oh my god! =)
I really can't understand what's with all these guys who make wierd noises in the name of background music!

When A.R.Rahman started out, there were a number of people who were criticising and making fun of him for introducing such 'noises': but dammit, his sure make much more sense than these zulos and habibiyas!! (Yeah, like I'll ever give up on Rahman! :) )
The thing with Rahman's 'noises' are that nobody can make out that what they are supposed to be: have any of you been successful in deciphering what the background in Mudalvan that comes whenever Arjun does something revolutionary means?! I haven't!
HJ tried something of this sort in Anniyan. And the result, needless, was extremely funny. Praveen had done an awesome job in finding it out and posting it in his blog! :) Do check out his blog if you want to know what it is... ;)

Another such example is from Vaseegara from Minnale. The female humming was awfully funny. When I had to learn that humming bit for a performance, I had great difficulty controlling my laughter as my friend patiently told me what the 'words' are: Iska ilaa ilaa othaailaa... Gosh, cannot make it!

Other examples include Habibiya Ilgae yathanehan (whatever!).
Kudos to all the music directors for managing to fit in such crap into their songs and movies. Another thing to be appreciated is the tunes are nice: maybe they should try to get some words which should make sense: like Shakalaka or Boom Boom by Rahman.

And guys who go about saying Rahman's rap sucks, puhleeez..... check out 'Unakku salsa, enakku jalsa' in the Remo song in Anniyan. It kept me in splits. Rahman (or rather Blaze's) rap is just too good compared to these!

Finally, no, I'm not trying to pull down efforts of these guys. They do give us some awesome pieces of music, and though it's difficult for them to match Rahman's standards, they do a great job! (ahem, listen to the music expert talking!)
