8 Hindi Film Songs with Absolutely Incongruent Lyrics

 

 

‘Tera Pyaar, Hookah Bar’. What does this mean? Your love is so addictive that it feels like I’m in college and I want to sit all day at a Hookah bar? Your love is so shallow that it feels like flavoured hookah smoke that’s just scented on the outside and has no substance on the inside? Or, I met you at a Hookah bar and that’s how our love story began and I think it is romantic enough to tell the world about it, #myloverocksjaimatadi?

 

That’s enough to give you a fair idea of what we’re talking about. So without preaching much about lyricists who’ve given us songs that make absolutely no sense, try to ponder on the things they’re trying to say. Or laugh because we know you secretly loved the songs (perhaps due to reinforcement) when they came out.

 

 

“Love You O Saiyyoni”   

 

Our first song is a gem from the Reshammiya coffers (Aap Ka Surroor), in which, a line from the chorus takes the cake … “I Love You Oh Saiyyoni, Koi Shaq, Whatsup”. That is not a pick up line. An English version would’ve made more sense, perhaps? “I Love You Oh Saiyyoniyo, Any Doubt, Whatup?” *There is no saving this song*

“Hookah Bar”

 

It looks as though Heemaes bhai has a special penchant for attracting incongruent lyrics that mustn’t be argued with.

“Ice Cream Khaungi”

 

‘Ice cream khaoongi, laxmi bomb jalaaoongi, chutney khilaoongi, Kashmir jaaongi *insert any noun followed by a verb because it will make sense*. For those excited ones, this song features in Himesh Reshammiya’s upcoming film The Xpose.

“Oye Boy Charlie”

 

Just when we were going to hand Himesh this coveted award of ‘Best Lyrics Chosen for Composing Music’, we chanced upon Vishal Bhardwaj’s disaster of a film Aloo Ke Bhindi Ka Mangola and its song “Oye Boy Charlie”. Give it a listen. You’ll discover things that you didn’t realize at the first go.

“Balam Pichkari”

 

Someone on the internet actually ran a meme that translated this song to its English meaning. Exhibit A (and Z, because you don’t want to wrack you brain anymore): Jeans pehen ke, jo tune mara thumka, toh lattu padosan ki bhabhi ho gayi. And sense did prevail. In Timbaktoo and at weddings!

“Dhating Naach”

 

Well, this is not supposed to make so much sense because we, as Indian consumers, have a higher threshold for dance numbers where we don’t think and just dance. But the song makes dancing such a tedious process. Because moving your hands and legs to music, kya dhating hai re!

“Raghupati Raghav”

 

Yes, pray to God that your party goes according to your plan Hrithik, especially when you’re a superhero. ‘Hey bhagwan, pliss don’t make ppl do ulti after drinking or else I won’t be able to play hop scotch from Ambani’s building tomorrow’.

“Saree Ke Fall”

 

Since when did the heart start falling out of its position (signifying love, OMG so cute) just like a saree? Hmm. Please help us find the answer to this mystery or we’ll be left with no choice but to contact Senior Inspector Abhijeet.
