Total waste of Time - I

This post is a total waste of time, so dont read! :)

Hmm, you are still reading!? ... anyways, dont complain as you were warned :)

So I was watching Das Ka Dum on TV and this show ended with a famous Bollywood Song Tama Tama Loge (from 1990 movie Thanedar).

This song, as many of you know, was one of the most famous song of 1990. I am sure many of you must be in school like me and used to dance in your bedroom/bathroom on this song. :)

So, anyways, the point is that it brought back lots of memories from my childhood :) - so my obvious reaction (which is very obvious to my closest friends/family) is to search out this song on youtube to listen to the song and watch the video... in fact I am listening to this song - on repeat - while I am composing this blog post. :|

Above video is so 80ish :) ... the disco dance routine, which was a characteristic of 80's "item numbers". I wonder how'll we look back at todays films/songs ... say 20 years from now. I will probably have today's post as reference, 20 years from now :)

It also reminded me of another song - Jumma Chumma De De (literary meaning Jumma Kiss Me) - which was a copy of this Tama Tam Song - or vice versa... we dont know which one ripped off which one.

In fact, there was huge controversy during that time on these songs of copying each other.

I think I also remember "some news" of these songs ripping off a "foreign song". But I never heard about that song till now. So, I googled it out now (naturally, as you know me) and found that song is "Tama Tama Loge" by someone called Mory Kante - whom again I never heard of till now.

So, after listening to this song, I was thinking -

A) It is height of hypocrisy for those music directors to blame each other for ripping off their song ... when the reality is they ripped off it from third person's song.

B) I dont mind it them stealing, because both of these songs are my fav ... I would have never known about Mory Kante unless these songs were there.

C) Thanks to internet, it is so easy to find useless facts like this ... within minutes :)

Any thoughts?

PS - I found one song of Mory Kante that I have heard of before ... It's YEKE YEKE.

Updated later -

This is becoming more and more interesting, I just noticed the "making of Tama Tama Loge" video on youtube ... HA! ... I never thought someone have making of Tama Tama Loge and someday I will be seeing it.

It's such a lame video! ... LOL :) ... I have no words to describe.
