Woo la la Woo la la Woo la la he
Woo la la Woo la la he
The above couplet is not from any new Hindi song, this is how the song Pagla Hawa starts in the film Bong Connection !! Even more, after this sensual humming, the song starts from the Antara Chena shonar kon bairey...... !!!!!!!!!!! In the interludes, exclamations like Oh Yeah, Yo Yo also feature in the song.
Sorry for being conservative, but I was really stunned when I heard this song for the first time a couple of hours ago. The music director Neil (son of Anjan Dutt) calls it a metamorphosis of the Rabindra Sangeet, which makes the song, according to him, more melodious, rhythmatic and at-par with the modern generation! What an utter rubbish statement!!
I think that the original Pagla Hawa, composed by Rabindranath himself, has enough melody, rhythm and appeal to the modern generation who are fond of Rabindra Sangeet. So is it really necessary to experiment with and finally murder such nice creations? Some things should be allowed to remain in the way they are. After all, masterpieces can never be re-created, and in most of the cases, they turn out to be a mockery of the original.
Who knows, some day the lyrics of Rabindra Sangeet will be changed to make it more modern in terms of language!!!
Finally, following is the link of the "awesome re-creation" of Neil :
