And another classic bhangra tune from my childhood days! A group from Birmingham who tore up the dancefloors with their songs at all the functions! Soho Road by Apna Sangeet!
Claim to fame – My Pops was the dentist for one of the singers!
I always liked the mild Hip Hop, and ragga music. Did quite a mean Butterfly iin my day! Today Sir Mixalot features with Baby Got Back! Can I just mention that my kids think this is such a funny song… but they don’t understand the, ahem, finer lyrics!
The first was one that I remember singing at school in music lessons! Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by B J Thomas.
Anyone who knows Bollywood, knows that rain features heavily in some of the more seductive songs. Rain and wet sarees… Yes, I know! Tip Tip Barsa Paani from Mohra. (The pair from this film actually got married too, in real life!)
Now my parents are both over this age, but my mum loved The Beatles! When I’m Sixty Four.
And my Eastern song is a beautiful song that my Pops still sings to my mum. It is so sweet! It is about ageless love! Meri Zohra Jabeen from the film Waqt
I thought I would devote today to friendship! Two songs ab0ut those people who, despite having no physical connection to you, are so important in our lives!
The first has to be You Got a Friend In Me from Toystory. Hey, I just love Disney films!
The Eastern tune today is a total classic Bollywood song from the awesome film Sholay! Yeh Dosti. It is a song that, despite being around 40 years old, is still played by groups of Asian friends, especially at weddings and when having a drunken session! All about a never ending friendship!
