We copy a lot of shit from here and there
'Bumbro Bumro' from one place
From another direction we had 'Ararara arara'
Bollywood is just a mishmash of all this
But mainly what it has a mishmash of is hollywood
And no one adresses it
Except once in a while when Pritam copies something
and they're like
Hey Pritam! Why ya you copy lyk dis? Naughty boy!
No one otherwise gives a shit
Like 70s mein jab woh Shashi
(genuinely forgets the proper noun)
What was his name? The other vibrator head?
Shammi Kapoor!
When shammi kapoor was vibrating his head in the 70s
Did no one sniff the elvis presley on him?
No one addressed it then ya
But I feel like I can tell when a bollywood song has been copied and when it's not
I'll tell you the trick
If it sounds too happy, it's not ours
Like early 2000s there was a song
Main koi aisa geet gaaon, ki aarzoo jagaoon
Agarrrr tum kaho
Not ours guys
It's too happy
It's too "we don't have any potholes"
No holes at all
It sounds like it was made up by some french dude on a riverbank somewhere
with an accordian for his girlfriend going
La fille carpe diem
Le chocolat croissant
Celine Dion
But doesn't it fit?
I have a feeling that's how it happened and an indian dude showed up
And he was like this is not accordion
Set it on the floor it's a harmonium!
But there are some songs I will defend to my death are ours
You've heard this, you know this song
Tadap tadap
That's ours for sure
There's feels in it
Because you can't sing it casually like this
You remember Tadap Tadap no?
In which best regards poet Salman Khan said
Aishwaryaji I beat you very much but come on
One more round
Look I bought new SUV also let's go for a ride
Oh that speed breaker is shaped like a human being
*budum*
But you remember tadap tadap right?
That's ours
Ask why?
(audience asks why)
Asked also, so cute
Because you can't sing that song casually
"Oh this tortured tortured heart"
You have to really get in a stance
"Sighs over and over again"
"I received punishment for love"
"Was that such a sin?"
"Now I'm bankruuupt"
If you can take a whole dump during a song, that's ours
"Now I'm bankrupt in your love"
*budum*
Same movie, another song
"Lemoney lemon lem-on"
(no translation possible)
And for difficult days we had A R Rahman
"From the heaaart"
Will have to bring out the scissors today
