Do you know that the Shammi Kapoor we know today became Shammi Kapoor after giving 19 flop films in a row.tThe first of Shammi Kapoor was Jeevan Jyoti but Rail Ka Dibba (1953) was released first.He reinvented himself in Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957), losing his seducer�s pencil moustache and fashioning his hair in typical ducktail style of the 1950sThis new Shammi did what no other hero had done earlier. He swayed, sashayed and sizzled while singing songs on screen. He became the first dancing star of Bollywood. His dance songs were never Choreographed.Today (14th Aug 2017) on his 6th Death Anniversary I look for his dancing style..
Before Tumsa Nahin Dekha, the Hindi film hero seldom danced. How could he, for the weight of the entire world was on his shoulders. On the rare occasion that he did, like Raj Kapoor in �Mud mud ke na dekh� or in �Dil ka haal suney dilwaala� in Shree 420, his actions were characterized by a kind of rhythmic one-two, one-two movement that responded to the beat of the song.
The final song in Tumsa Nahin Dekha, �Sar par topi laal�, made a dramatic departure. Early in the song, after Shankar has sung his half of the mukhda, �Gorey gorey gaal, gaal pe uljhey uljhey baal, ho tera kya kehna�, he claps along with the junior male artistes for a few seconds, showing a joviality that matches the beat of the song.He is shown dancing on one leg, going back and forth with the male artistes, matching them step for step all the while. He shouts out �oh sad ke, oh beliyaa� and flits across the frame.
In Dil Deke Dekho (1959), Shammi dances his way through most of the film. Shammi�s entire frame features prominently in the songs �Megha re bole�, �Do ekum do�, �Pyaar ho toh keh do yes� and �Yaar chulbula hai�, differentiating him from other mainstream heroes.
Shammi Kapoor in an interview claimed not knowing how to dance but his energy, verve and rhythm in those songs were unmatched and very different from the norm.
He found stardom with his first colour film, Junglee, released in 1961, which proved a blockbusting hit.After Junglee began a series of box-office hits like Dil Tera Deewana (1962) and the thriller Teesri Manzil (1966) with hit songs and his style of dancing mannerism.The way he smiled, the way he pouted and the way he looked into heroine�s eyes, everything was infectious; simply because it was fresh, fun and flamboyant. Even his famed dances were never choreographed; on the dance-floor, he just needed a catchy melody and a zingy beat and then he rock �n� rolled.
Shammi Kapoor-songs have become a genre by itself. Racy, robust, rhythmic and romantic numbers composed by the master composers like O.P. Nayyar, Shankar- Jaikishan, Ravi, Usha Khanna and R.D. Burman added their own magic to this rebel star�s screen persona.

The Parody songs are liked in every generation starting from 40s till now.The way these songs have been sung with spunk, the hilarious lyrics and the comic timing of the characters who have sung these on the screen combined with the liveliness of the supporting cast makes these classics in their own right. There�s always some truth to parodies. These Bollywood songs are honest and funny at the same time.
The earliest parody song is found in film �Deccan Queen� (1936), sung by Surendra in his debut film. The song � �Birha Ki Aag Lagi Mere Mann Mein�, which is a parody of the iconic KL Saigal song from the 1935 film �Devdas� � �Baalam Aaye Baso Morey Mann Mein�. ..I have selected 25 such songs in this Blog.
The oldest Parody song available in youtube is from the 1942 film Call of youth (Jawaani Ki Pukaar) . This song is a parody of 3 famous and popular songs, namely
1. �Saawan Ke Nazaare Hain� from film �Khazaanchi� (1941) ( Shamshad Begum, Ghulam Haider)
2. �Chal Chal Re Naujawaan� from film �Kangan� (1941) ( Ashok Kumar, Leela Chitnis)
3. �Main Kya Jaanu Kya Jaadu Hai� from film �Zindagi� (1940) (KL Saigal)

Remembering Mukesh on his 94th Birth Anniversary,his unique singing style would make his songs popular soon after their release. His forte were both sad and jolly songs such as �Yeh mera diwana pan hai� (Yahudi), �Suhani chandni raaten� (Mukti), �Aa laut ke aaja mere meet� (Rani Roopmati), �Awara hoon� (Awara) and �Dum dum diga diga� (Chalia)�. He sang romantic songs with equal ease: �Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein� (Kabhi Kabhi) and �Naina hain jadoo bhare� (Bedard Zamana).
In this blog I have selected his Jolly and Happy songs only.
Mukesh was born on 22nd July 1923.At the age of 18 he was offered a role as an actor-singer in a Hindi film, Nirdosh (1941). The real break as a playback singer came for him in 1945 when he sang for Motilal for the film Pehli Nazar.It was the song "Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De". composed by Anil Biswas and lyrics written by Aah Sitapuri.made him popular.Though the song was in the style of K L Sehgal but it became instant hit.Mukesh created his own singing style with the help of music director Naushad Ali, who helped Mukesh to come out of his Saigal style and create his own style. Naushad gave him songs for the film Andaz.All the songs became hit.
Mukesh became the voice of Raj Kapoor with Barsaat.He gave many immortal songs for Raj Kapoor.Mukesh is best known for the songs that he sung for actor Raj Kapoor in Bollywood. The two decades spanning the 1950s to 1970s saw the rise and shine of the man who was to be immortalized in the pages of Bollywood playback singing. On Mukesh�s demise, he said �I have lost my voice.� It wasn�t exaggeration. You try to remember Raj Kapoor, and you�ll end up humming Mukesh.
Mukesh recieved 4 Filmfare Awards for Best Playback Singer for films 'Anari', 'Pehchan', 'Beimaan' and 'Kabhie Kabhie'.In 1974 he was bestowed with the National Film Award for the Best Male Playback Singer for his song 'Kain Baar Yoon Bhi Dekhaa Hai' from the film 'Rajnigandha'.
Mukesh died on August 27, 1976 at the age of 53. The singer succumbed to a heart attack while on a concert tour to the United States.
Here is my tribute to him on his 94th Birth Anniversary today with a compilation of my few of the favourite �Happy� and Romantic songs of Mukesh.
