Ilayarajas Tune-ical : Our “Googler” of the Year

Ilayaraja’s Tune-ical Research by us.

It’s all started 2 months back when we watched Ilayaraja’s Music Concert thru Jaya TV in Indiamoviezone.com

There is a small jingle hummed by Ilayaraja before and after the commercial break.
We (Meenachi) liked that jingle and tried to play it in Ram’s YAMAHA keyboard. We almost got that.

After 2 Months, Day before Yesterday Stephen also quoted the same. He too likes that. That’s it. From that point we hummed that jingle several times. I recorded it for Stephen in his mobile. We (Stephen) thought it specifically (and specially) scored for that Jaya TV’s Music concert.

But Lakhsmi says there was a movie song in Telugu with the same tune that came on 80s. It is in http://www.raaga.com/channels/telugu/movie/A0000386.html
That Track starts with “Aakasam” in Movie Nireekshana (1981)

To our “Cheattah” Raghavan we hummed the same and criticized that he doesn’t know anything about music. But he replied us by singing the song in Malayalam that is in the same tune. We surprised. Now we begged Raghavan (For me now he is a Bagavathar) to sing that song many times. I asked him to sing in my Mobile, so I can record. He said Maya “Cheachi” would sing that song well.
Now “Cheattah” says the Malayalam movie is Olangal (1982) and track is “Thumbivaa”
It is in http://www.raaga.com/channels/malayalam/movie/M0000495.html


Ilayaraja scores both the Telugu and Malayalam track. We wonder how he didn’t score in Tamil (By assuming that we heard all the songs in Tamil. I am very strong in saying that tune is not there in Tamil, otherwise Stephen would heard it)

Yesterday night I played that Telugu and Malayalam track to Rajsundar. He also loved that tune and said there may be some Tamil song with the same tune. I said Ilayaraja didn’t score that in Tamil and told him whole story of my discussion with Meenachi, Stephen, Raja, Lakshmi, Raghavan and I went to bed.

In bed I was thinking how we can search a song in Tamil without know his Title, I mean without knowing its Movie Name, Track Name, Singer Name.

After 45 Minutes Rajsundar called me and played that song in Tamil. Wow…. I was amazing. Happy to know there is a song in Tamil with same tune. I wonder how Rajsundar got that song. I know his machine is Musical Junk. He used to carry 60s to till date of Multi Language Movie and non-Movie songs. But how he got this song? In surprised I asked him. He said he searched sorry sorry…he Googled in Internet. He starts to surf for “Olangal” Malayalam movie. From there he went to several links and came to know that there is movie called “Auto Raja” in Tamil which is some way related to Kanada’s “Auto Raja” and Malayalam’s “Olangal”. Rajsundar, a Nety (Who wont live with out Internet) guy did it. He found the song in the Internet without knowing anything about it. What a small world, he downloaded the Tamil Track “Sangathil” of movie “Auto Raja” from http://www.coolgoose.com/

I will propose him for the “Googler” of the Year.
