Source of Inspirations

Topic started by NOV (@ 202.184.134.8) on Tue Jul 6 04:37:21 EDT 1999.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

We are now living in an age of inspirations. :-))Probably original tunes are no longer discoverable. Okay, we'll leave that aside. :-))

The purpose of this thread is to identify which tune/song has been the source of inspiration for the greatest number of songs.
The original need not be TFM, but the latter must be.

  I stuck on this topic while unconsciously humming Agosh's Thaam thadigida thaam from Kodeeswaran. The beginning is clearly inspired from Venketeswara Suprapaatham.
  
  Another recent song which has the same inspiration is Deva's Garuda garuda.
  
  There are a few other songs which have been ispired from this Suprapaatham. I can't immediately recollect.
  
  Over to you guys.

  TFM has been a source of inspirations to other music too. One such latest inspied song is a song from the hindi movie mann which is scheduled for release next week. Our "edho oru paatu en kadhil ketkum" has been suttufied there!

  The charanam portions of 'Chayya Chayya' sound like 'Igiri nandini nanditha...'

  I was just listening to this song "Manasey" from the movie 'Nenjinile' on the tamilworld web site.
  
  This song is very obviously 'inspired' by ARR's 'Tu Hi Tu Nigahon Me' song from 'Kabhi Na Kabhi'
  
  Who is the MD for 'Nenjinile', BTW ?

  malligai poove malligai poove parthaya , I think is copied from Didi tera devar deewana.
  
  
• From: NOV (@ 202.184.134.8) on: Wed Jul 7 04:46:51 EDT 1999
  
  RR - Which other songs of Didi? YVS has given one.
  
  bb - Can you name the songs inspired by GBU?
  
  Chandy - interesting. :-))
  
  Sriram Lakshman & Dev Mannemela- I think that we need more than one song to qualify here.
  
  Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. I want to know which source has been the most copied tune in TFM.
  
  Okay what do we have now?
  
  Source : Venketesa Suprapaatham
  1. Thaam thadigida thaam - Kodeeswaran (Agosh)
  2. Garuda Garuda - Natpukkaaga (Deva)
  3. mArgazhippoovE -may mAdham (ARR)
  
  Any other song can beat the Suprapaatham? :-))

  Deva likes maNappaarai maadu katti very
  much. I am sure that there are at least two
  copies of it.

  Che, famous 'Gandha Sasdi kavasam' maranthitaangaley.....
  
  
  Pathinettu vayathu Ilamottu Manathu Enguthu Paai poda....(sooriyan)

  'varaaga nadhi karai oram' from Sangamam sounds very similar to Roonaa Leila's 'dhamaadham mast kalandhar' (not Fateh Ali Khan's 'thoo cheez badi hai', but it is a different one). Has anybody else heard that song ?
  
  
• From: chandy (@ 209.125.83.228) on: Wed Jul 7 13:01:41 EDT 1999
  
  Venky, its a very standard qawali kinda tune. one tamil song thats close to that is "dheena karunakarane nataraja neelakandane" from nandanaar
  
  
• From: Shashi (@ eed01735.mayo.edu) on: Wed Jul 7 14:45:55 EDT 1999
  
  Hi Venky
  
  I have heard Runa Laila's 'Dhamadham mast qalandar' & I do agree about the similarity--particularly the opening of the charanam in Dhamadham, ie--'char charagu tere' is very close to 'KaNNil varum katchiyelam'
  
  In other areas it resembles one other NFAK's song, I mention in my review (see earlier posting)
  
  It still has some original ideas however.
  
  Shashi
  
  
• From: kiru (@ surf0004.sybase.com) on: Wed Jul 7 18:35:19 EDT 1999
  
  NFAK has a 'Mastu Kalandharu Mastu Mastu' in the Mustt, Mustt album. 'cheez badi he mastu mastu'is an exact replica of this including orchestration.

  NOV: Didi, I think, will easily outscore suprabatham :-)
  1. yeh shabba
  2. azhagiya laila
  3. alli alli anarkali
  4. kaathalin desam kathavugal thirakkum
  
  and many more..
  
  BTW the 'dhidhi tera devar' mentioned by YVS is not the Khaled song :))

  RR, the "direct translation" of didi was in the movie vEdan (sarath, kushboo).. i don't remember the lyrics.

  I think this thread's title should be changed to:
  Source of maximum inspirations.
  
  
• From: eden (@ 202.54.71.133) on: Thu Jul 8 00:53:14 EDT 1999
  
  Didi(Khaled) has, to some extent, inspired `chikku bukku railu' too...
  
  
• From: Swami. (@ proxy2.ericy.com) on: Thu Jul 8 12:49:06 EDT 1999
  
  Does "nee koduthata thiruppi koduppen" from Maaveeran, sound similar to 'didi thera devar".

  NOV:
  Isn't Mukkala Mukkabala the most copied number in the history of music itself ? :-) At last count, I believe there were atleast 6 versions running *simultaneously*, soon after Kaathalan was released :-)
  
  
• From: The Mask (@ mail.startec.net) on: Thu Jul 8 14:34:18 EDT 1999
  
  Well, I guess all 6 weren't in Tamil ! So Suprabatham still rules :-)
  
  
• From: Shankar (@ netcache1.mot.com) on: Fri Jul 9 00:32:47 EDT 1999
  
  Mask,
  
  The funny part is the source of inspiration itself is inspired from some other number :-))
  
  
• From: R (@ envy.cs.umass.edu) on: Fri Jul 9 11:43:04 EDT 1999
  
  bb: The song started like vaazhkayE pOrkaLam.. only the charanam was lifted from didi.
  
  
• From: Neels (@ 202.54.125.240) on: Fri Jul 9 13:43:52 EDT 1999
  
  Swami,
  
  "nee koduthata thiruppi koduppen" from Maaveeran, was released in the early eighties. So, it couldn't possibly have been inspired from "didi Tera devar".
  
  Neels
  
  
• From: bb (@ inehou-pxy04.compaq.com) on: Fri Jul 9 14:04:46 EDT 1999
  
  neels, i think swami was implying the other way round:)

  The thread title says..`The orignal need not be TFM, but the latter must be':-)) Is this such a difficult logic for computer users to comply with?:-)))) NOM!

  Guys,
  I watched a Malaysian Channel while in Singapore and there were quite a few numbers by the Malaysian Pop artists which were straight-lifts from Tamil&Hindi numbers.
  One such number was IR's 'En Iniya Pon Nilave'
  
  Idu Eppadi Irukku?
