songs on shiva in tamil movies

I found that there was a thread on kannan pattugal in the forum. That is understandable, since there are many songs on Krishna and also Devi in Tamil films. What about Shiva? I can think of the following:

jambulingamey jatadhara (Kasedhaan kadavulada)
neeye unakku enrum nigaraanavan (Bale paandiya)
om nama shivaaya (salangai oli)

Is this just a vague theory or would it be true to say that shiva is not as celebrated as kannan or devi in tamil film music? Why would this be?

  chandrasekhara isa - bhaktha ravana
  sivaperuman kripai vendum - some MKT movie
  aandavane illaiye - rani lalithaangi
  isaiyaai thamizhaai iruppavane - agathiyar
  munnam avanudaya - parthiban kanavu, agathiyar
  
  This last is a devaaram. I'm sure there are many more in films.
  
  agathiyar, thiruvilayaadal, thiruvarutchelvar, pattinathaar, thiruneelakandar, sundaramoorthy naayanaar, nandhanaar etc probably have several more. Didn't KBS sing a song at the end of thiruvilayaadal about sivan?

  These are all great songs. Actually, i was thinking more about non-historical/mythological movies where you would not HAVE to have a song about shiva. For instance, "jagamey manthiram, shiva shambo" in Ninaithaley inikkum. Maybe songs about shiva are not picturised as often because shiva is not a romantic figure like krishna. So you cannot have songs with the hero-heroine imagined as krishna and radha. On the other hand, it may be more logical to have the hero or heroine sing a song to shiva when they are in trouble/depressed/afraid/angry. But usually, in this situation a song to devi is sung! For instance, 'poojaikaga vazhum poovai' or 'raaga deepam etrum neram' or 'indha natagam andha medaiyil' etc. Again, is it because there is a general impression that the chances of receiving help from devi (female figure) are greater?

  paramasivan kazhuthil irundu pambu kettathu

  amritha: You'll find a lot of songs addressed to murugan/kannan/devi since these are considered to be more approachable gods (devi = mother, kannan = child/lover/philosopher/..., murugan = warrior/protector).I think Murugan stands in for Sivan.
