The guitar in the interludes and the start of the song is a lift from
a western tune played in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" (The original
score was from Enni Maricone (sp?)).

What's this? Is this a right time of the year to start flame wars in
RMIM? Lemme use this oppurtunity to ooze out some "logic" spoof!

Going by some skewed up logic, if A-M were assistants to L-P (which
they weren't) and presuming that they originated the violin pieces
(the great fiddlers they are!) and IR did one quick job of flicking
some violin pieces from that song (why? I know not!) and that makes
the "tu tu ta ra" song an original from A-M! This is a jolly good game,
eh! All this while I "thunked" that A-M were rotten plagiarists and
they turn out to be holy!

U know what? Is kahani mein ek aur twist hein! A-M ka baap
(jo bhi hoga, I know he must've been a great MD of yesteryears - is it
Sonik Omi? Mabbe C. Ramachandra! ), had two assistants and L-P were
the unholy two who copied the violin pieces from A-M ka baap! So, A-M
eventually copying from their own baap is no big deal and
ofcourse, it is pardonable!

P.S: Isn't this as silly as what is going on in RMIM already!
