Majaa...Worth a listen..!Watchout for the lyrics though.....

Listened to songs from Majaa tuned in by Vidyasagar and this is what I felt..
I generally don't try to give much attention to the lyrics,but this time tried to concentrate on the lyrics while listening and I guess that was a bad decision..

The songwriter/director must be someone either desperately trying to project 'sex education' to the masses or someone very badly starved of sexual intercourse.Because 2 of the 5 songs had lyrics vividly describing the act using a variety of allusions and 1 song was no allusion but direct raw description!I wonder if there is a censor board that listens to songs and bans them!
The weird thing is ..these songs tend to create a lasting effect on the masses,may be even for months/years that even small children seem to sing them with great enthusiasm.It is pathetic to listen them sing these in the saptaswarams and anthaakshari and local diwali programs!

1. Chee Chee Enna (ShankarMahadevan, Harini, Viji, Savitha)

Very catchy song...But it kind of resembles some old song..Upon repeated listening,I started to like the song for its tune.
But as I said earlier, what struck me was the way the whole song was laden with lyrics directly describing intercourse!Right from the starting words to the mourns of the female all through the song,it immediately brings a clear picture of the scenario being described.Wondering how sleazy this song is gonnabe visually ..

2. HeyPangali (Udit Narayan, Tippu, Manickam Vinayakam)

A typical Udit Narayan number sung through the nose!But it was a very peppy song,the only one which seemed to be a normal,jolly song without any hidden meaning or unnecessary allusion to anything!

3. Solli Tharava (Madhu Balakrishnan, SadhanaSargam)

A melodious number,well sung by Madhu and Sadhana Sargam.But again,why can't it be anything other than love/love-making?Is there nothing else to write a song/poem about?"penmai thadumaarumae..maanam kappal yaerumae..." :O

4. Thaimasaam (Shankar Mahadevan, AnuradhaSriram)

Anuradha sriram as usual rocks this..'uppukaruvaadu' like jalsaa number!Great song to look forward to for the dance sequence!What starts off as a song describing the guy's feeling in a paddy field goes on to become the call from the male to the female to join him in matrimony.Then the second part of the song suddenly shifts gears and starts talking about the logistics and modes of lovemaking!
Guess the female in the song is much more aroused..
"Un pattinaathar kovanatha pazhudhu paaruyaa"..which loosely translates to check your briefs!!
"unaku yaeri poachu kozhuppu..
nee maasathula muunu naalu enga poyu paduppa?"...No comments..
What the hell is wrong with these guys and I wonder if the singers would themself object to such lyrics or just turn a blind eye?


5. Podhumada Sami (Kailash kher)

The first "thanananannaaaa" bit is awesome..This guys called the Nusrat Fateh ali Khan of India!The pronunciation of the words were not that bad..
This song again portrayed the dejected hero's tryst with love!An excusable song consider the ones above!

Majaa...Worth a listen..!Watchout for the lyrics though.....
