Am back again to share my appreciation for another song hat has caught my fancy in recent times - "Kadhal Anukkal" from "Enthiran". As always, advise you to listen to the song as you read for better understanding!
This is definitely not the kind of song that I thought I would like! So here's Archana's list of song ruiners. English lyrics in Tamil song (And scientific ones at that! "Neutron", "Electron" et al). Check. Random words that dont fit into the scheme of the song (" Senthenil Wasabi" what's Wasabi anyway?!, "Thanniyil Oxygen miga Adhigam"). Check. Wannabe words included to fit into the tune of the song ("Oh Baby"). Check. Obviously there is something beyond all this that makes one like a song!
As the song starts off with a melodious guitar prelude followed by a lazy "Thelela...lalala", I can imagine sitting back to enjoy the song..probably on a sunny beach on a holiday. The laid back rhythm of the song keeps going (only the "Sana sana ore vinaa" adds more pep) until the "Azhagin motham neeya" part which marks the beginning of a foot tapping percussion that continues throughout the song. I challenge anyone except the completely tone deaf to avoid getting into its rhythm -check if you are either tapping your feet, shaking your head or keeping beat with your hands in some way at this point. Its a simple standard beat that beautifully blends with the relaxed foreground activity in the song.
Shreya has rendered her part quite well as usual and the repitition of the "Dheem thom thom" part only makes me imagine the singer and the song pausing to let you catch up with them in such a lovely way. The central attraction of the whole number is of of course the "Oh Baby" part where the percussion changes to suit the speed. Good rendition by Vijay Prakash as well, in fact both he and Shreya convey the relaxed feel of the song in the way that they drawl out the first few lines at any point.
The following paragraphs are hummable as well, not however as much as the "Oh baby" part which does not leave your mind or lips for a long time after you listen to this number.
And I can definitely forgive the random reference to a certain Japanese horseradish plant* for that!
*Wasabi - I couldn't resist googling it!
