Top 5 Songs To Party On !


Since I've been listening to not one or two foot tapping songs at a time but quite a few, thought I'd dedicate this post to all the Fun and Dance songs which feature on my current playlist. These songs have awesome music.. and lyrics, I think some of them do.. but this post's only from the "music" point of view. :)

Here goes my list:


5. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom - Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
> The version by KK and Sukhwinder Singh is my favorite!


4. To Phir Aao (Remix) - Awarapan
> Atif Aslam Rocks!


3. You're My Love (Remix) - Partner
> I think this song rocks! It's picturised also really well and got this awesome hip-hop feel to it.


2. Soni De Nakhre Sone Lagde - Partner
> I didn't even really pay attention to this song.. it's only after I watched the film and begun hearing all the tracks that I actually liked it.


1. Vaada Karo Nahi Chhodoge Tum Mera Sath - Dj Aqeel - Power Play 2.0
> Well this song might not go down too well with the "World Hold On" by Bob Sinclair lovers, but I really like this remix by Aqeel.. it's a total combo of an old song + World Hold On = Super Song!

And to be honest, this list isn't it, there are a couple more which are topping my charts! So do come back and check them out! :)

Maahiya - Awarapan

Playback - Suzanne D'mello

Music - Pritam (this man's gotten really popular!)

Lyrics - Asif Ali & Sayeed Quadri

I like the song because it's got an awesome beat which plays throughout the song.. it's also pretty different from the usual hindi songs that we here.. it's got a mix of English & Hindi lyrics.
(Ya it's not the first of it's kind.. but nice)

If you pay attention to the lines.. "somewhere out there, there is a someone who's waiting just for me mahiya".. it takes me back to a really old pop song by Anamika - Kahin karta hoga mere intezar.. which means practically the same thing!

Well co-incidence or what?

Also.. some beats of the song remind me of the song - Jingo.. jingo ha ha..

Coming to the title of the song " mahiya".. managed to find quite a few songs that have either "mahi" or "mahiya" in them.. here goes:

1. mahi ve - kal ho naa ho
2. mahi ve - kaante
3. aaja mahiya - fiza
4. mahiya - awarapan
5. mahi mahi - kismat
6. your my mind blowing mahiya - cash

And.. maybe there are more?

Mehfuz - Mehfuz - Euphoria (The Band)

Playback & Lyrics - Palash Sen

I think this song is extremely inspiring and it's all about - SO WHAT!!
So what if things aren't going your way and so what if the people around are upset with you.. for that matter even GOD! VERY SCARY - I know..
It's all about not losing hope and not giving up.. keep going..
there has to be a good time.. and I'd like to belive so.
I always believe that I'll get my turn.. maybe not now.. but I will.
It's always important to believe in yourself and the people you trust and ofcourse.. can trust :) because those are the people who'll help you get out of your tough moments in life and help you stay protected.

The song's very well sung by Palash Sen - I cudn't believe it until I actually saw him in the video.. Good music and the song's got a great message in it as well.. so read on..

Zindagi Hai dhuan to kya Bujh gayi har subah to kya
Rootha mujhse khuda to kya
Ho gaye hum juda to kya
Faasle they hazaaron darmiyan,
Waqt ke they hazaaron imtehaan
Fir bhi ban ke nishaan,

Tere honthon ke kisi kone mein Hansi ki tarah main mehfuz hoon
Teri aankhon ke chipe dard mein Aansoo ki tarah main mehfuz hoon

Bewajah har wajah to kya
Begunahii hai gunaah to kya
Beasar hai dua to kya
Ho gaye hum juda to kya

Raaz gehre hazaron bepanah
Lafz thehare hazaaron bejubaan
Fir bhi ban ke nishaan
Tere honthe ke kisi kone mein Hansi ki tarah main mehfuz hoon
Tere kesu ke mude pannon meinYaadon ki tarah main mehfuz hoon
Mehfuz hoon Teri aankhon mein Mehfuz hoon Teri yaadon meinMehfuz hoon Teri baaton meinMehfuz hoon Tere baalon mein

Faasle the hazaron darmiyaan
Waqt ki thi hazaron aandhiyan
Fir bhi ban ke nishaan

Tere honthon ke kisi kone mein Hansi ki tarah main mehfuz hoon
Tere kaandhe ke chipe dil mein Vaadon ki tarah main mehfuz hoon

And for the big Euphoria fans - Join the club here!

Ek Din Teri Raahon Mein - Naqaab

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Sameerr (no.. it's not a typo)

Playback - Javed Ali

I simply loveee the guitar music at the beginning of the song!! I know I keep mentioning the guitar in almost all my posts.. but I just love the sound of it.. and hope to learn to play it someday!

The music of the song - all in all is good..
It's got this typical - possessive lover boy singing a song feel to it.. and also the harmonica in between the verses sounds fab along with the tapping sound..

It's more a music song than a lyrics song..

But then.. if you really want to sing along.. here goes..

Ek din ..Ek din teri raahon Baahoon mein panaahon mein Aungaa kho jaunga
Ek din tera ho jaunga
Yeh dil to na keh yeh baateindil to na keh saka
Tu jaane na tuChaahat meri kitni betaab hai
Ho jo barso meri palkon mein thaTu wohi khwaab hai
Har ghadi har ghadi yaadoon mein
vaadon mein iradon mein
Aungaa khojaunga
Ek din tera ho jaunga
Yeh dil to na keh yeh baateinDil to na keh saka
Yeh Jhukti nazarJaane jigar hosh lejati hai
Mein kaise kahon
Ek ajnabi dard dejati hai
Chupke se Chupke se teri neeedon mein
Khwaabon mein khayalon mein Chaaunga Khojunga
Ek din ..Ek din teri raahon
Baahoon mein panaahon meinAungaa khojaunga
Ek din tera ho jaunga
Yeh dil to na keh yeh baatein dil to na keh saka

And if you've seen the promos of the film.. you would see the guys saying 'I do' to the same girl and then the girl says 'I don't'!! This film should hopefully be worth a watch - atleast I think so!
Saiyaan - Jhoomo Re

Playback - Kailash Kher

Music - Kailash - Naresh - Paresh

Well sung and well composed is how I'd define this song.

It's got this awesome instrumental music in the background which is a combination of the harmonium, sitar and guitar.. and maybe more.. but just sounds marvellous - very soothing to the ear.

I personally wasn't a huge Kailash Kher fan.. but have begun to like his songs from the recent past like.. "Teri Deewani" from his previous album, "Saiyaan" from Ta Ra Rum Pum & "Ya Rabba" from Salaam-e-Ishq.. they were all sung with a lot of genuineness..

Back to the song.. the nice lines are:

Heere moti main na chahoon.. main to chahoon sangam tera.. main to teri saiyaan.. tu hai mera.. saiyaan..

Mere dil khushi se jhoome gaye raat din.. pal pal mujhe dubayein jaate jaate

tujhe jeete jeete haroon ye pran pran varoon.. hai aise main nivaroon.. teri aarti main utaroon.. and more.. but it just sounds good..

It's also got this slight sufi - qawalli feel to it - just like Kehna Hi Kya from the film Bombay.. which was also a fab song..

I think it's worth an ear!
