Twist - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Neeraj Sridhar

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

If 45 retakes is what it takes to make a fantastic song.. with Saif Ali Khan finally getting the moves right.. so be it!

We Twist is a song that's been composed with the help of the Nagin tune of the Mann Dole song by the legend Hemant Kumar along with a lot of beats and dance music.
I think Pritam as a musician is a good guy who makes some good music after a lot of "inspiration" from other artists :P

But on a more serious note.. I think he does indeed come up with some great compositions.. inspired or original.. the music rocks!

We Twist is a song that's foot tapping.. for sure.. love the dhol music and the way it's sung.

High energy and rhythm by Neeraj Sridhar.. well done I'd say!

My favorite lines from the song are:

(The rap in the beginning of the song!)

Let's have some raunak shaunak, let's have some party now
(Raunak shaunak, party sharty, dole shole and the likes.. just a style of speech to add some rhyming words to what you're actually trying to say :) )

Let’s Have Some Ralla Rafta

Round De Chak Hey Round De Chak
(whatever that means!)

Let’s Have Some Dhol Dhamaka
Let’s Call The Dholi Now
Let’s Have Some Matti Tappa
(Punjabi music, Bhangra and the likes.. are just so much fun.. full of energy)

Chalo Chalo Ji Lak Lak Ga Lo
Chalo Chalo Ji Mauj Mana Lo
Chalo Chalo Ji Nach Lo Gaa Lo
Pakad Kisi Ki Wrist
And We Twist We Twist!

The song's a sure winner.. and I'm waiting to see this song on the big screen :)

The songs of this movie grow on you. I never liked Twist nor Chor Bazaari when I first heard them but now I like them.
