mai.n_ne kahaa thaa (Aamne Samne)

George writes:

Here's a disco floor song forgotten (forgettable?) Shakti Samanta film of the 80s, replete with RD-trademark riffs and a female chorus. What is more interesting about the song is not its music but its interesting structure, not often seen in Hindi film songs, a variation of the common verse/chorus form : it begins with the verse and then moves into the chorus, instead of the usual mukha.Daa-a.ntaraa-mukha.Daa (chorus-verse-chorus) form.

dil kyaa chaahe (Oonche Log)

George writes:

Here's a Kishore gem complete with a catchy little riff and a nice melody. All the R D Burman trademarks exist. I remember the poster of the film, but nothing else. Something tells me it was part of the big bag of box-office flops that contributed to R D Burman's severe slump into oblivion in the late 80s.
