Hi all,

My sis sent me this list that appeared in the Sunday Mid-Day newspaper in Mumbai
this past weekend, and I am posting this on her behalf. She has only sent me the
list of the copied songs, and has requested us RMIMers to guess the originals.
Ofcourse this is NOT the list of all Hindi songs that have been copied, since
there are some major ones left out, like the SJ song from Jaanwar(rather well
done) - "Dekho ab to tumko nahin hai khabar" which is a direct lift from "I
Wanna Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles.

50 SONGS "INSPIRED " BY WESTERN MUSIC

P.S. :Just as this list was being compiled, it was learnt that Rajesh Roshan has
created a Hindi version of Chili's "TIC TIC TAC". It's called "Paisa Paisa" and
it's in the film "TRISHAKTI".


P.P.S : Going by this list, Anu Malik's name leads the pack with 12 nominations,
followed by L-P with 9, Rajesh Roshan with 7, Bappi Lahiri with 5, and
Nadeem-Shravan and RDB rounding off the top 5 with 4 nominations each.


P.P.S : RaviK, can you give a rough count of how many songs RDB has copied? Just
curious. If you know all the copied ones, that's fine, but if not, just the
number will do. Thanks.

It is good know the originals from which these songs were inspired from.
I have tried to guess/indicate the originals. Please fill in:

The ones I can think of are . . .

*Oye Oye - Tridev - Viju Shah
The Rhythm is Gonna Get You / Gloria Estafan ( album ??? )

*Chori chori yun jab ho aankhen char kya hota hai
( Sunny , Neelam and Chunkey starrer - Mitti aur
Sona.... is it ? )
Walk Like An Egyptian. (??)

*Mere dil gaaye jaa zu zu zubie zubie zubie
( Has Bappi Da written all over it !, pl confirm

Hi,

I was "on hold", the other day. And I swear they played a song which was
exactly like
"Gupt Gupt" of movie Gupt. It wasn't an English song, as the wordings
were in
some other language...

Damn another song, straight lift off...

Ritesh

PS : Anyone know the original ?

Walk like an Egyptian was by the Bangles.

I thought Kalanji Anandji did a great job of adapting the Bangles song.
I've never had any qualms of our MDs copying or adapting or whatever you
prefer to call it. It was the manner in which it was executed that
determined the quality of the song. After all, every song is inspired
from one source or another.

The music is very similair to an old HIndi(early 80's) movie starring
Shashi Kapoor and Zeenat Aman.I couldn't remember the title of the film.

Thanks for patiently typing down the entire list! I see that the list
contains pre-dominantely (/only!) post-70s songs. 3-4 years ago Mr.
Chandvankar of SIRC (by now RMIMers 'd be aware of what SIRC is, if not
pl. go thru Ms. Nayak's writeups on Vasant Desai) presented a programme:
Hindi film songs based on European/Latin American tunes. I remember
quoting about 10 of them from his list 30+ here on RMIM. Perhaps that
entire list should be posted here (and also one 'd try to compile a long
list of 'songs "inspired" by foreign tunes').

1)I know for sure that one of salils famous songs was based on beethovens
composition.Was it Rimjhim rimjhim pyaare pyaare geet liye?

2)Kaun hi jo sapnon mein aaya,kaun hi jo dil mein samaya from
Jhuk gayaa aasmaan (S-J)
and
Nazar na lagjayen kisiki raahon mein chupaloon aaa tujko nigahomein
Night in london(L-P)
sound very similar to the Elvis Number,
I want you I need you I love you with all my heart.

3)I also heard that the old kishore Asha number MDed by Ravi,
C a t cat, cat maane billi R a t Rat rat maane chuaa
was also copied.

1. I think "Itna Na Mujhse tu pyar Bada", Salil C., Chaaya was based on
a Mozart symphony (#40???). I have also heard there is another one based
on Beethoven.

Besides the song you have mentioned "itna na mujhse tu pyaar baDh.a" from Chhaya
ther's only one other song where Salil Da has copied, AFA i know. The other song
is "raatoN ke saaye ghane" from Annadata. A great composition this was actually
Chopin's work.

None from Beethoven, i hope :)

When I heard Mozart's Symphony No. 40 I was reminded of: itanaa na mujhase tuu
pyaar ba.Dhaa, ki mai.n ek baadal aavaaraa. This is a Talat Lata duet.
