Well.. I am words' worth....

As the title of the post might have suggested, this post is dedicated to the increasingly profound and mind-boggling contortions that modern day tamil poetry is going through.. I just happened to listen to the latest addition to the list of the definitely-future-hall-of-fame works, set to tune by who-else-but-harris-jayaraj. And this post was an automatic aftermath.
Gettin straight to the point, let me cut and paste an excerpt from the piece of TAMIL lyric for a TAMIL film called Thotti jayaa... (a completely tamil title, in an industry where naming a film in tamil is snowballing into quite an issue). But here is how the lyric goes.

ON first listening,

Eeee.. So... ai... ye...ee... (an initial appetiser)
(Chorus)

Zolime DheFo...
Modhilo Seelo...
Yamadhanjaago...
Ivandhaano..

(repeat)
Zemeno seebo...
Modhilai Zaano...
Nethi adi dhaano
jeya.. yeah hero...

hee..Zolime Dhefo..
Huh..Modhilo Seelo..
Hee.. Yamadhanjaago..
Huh.. Ivandhaano..

ha...

Eee...yeah...zai..eeyaahee....

--End of Song--


And as if that were not enough, here comes Blaaze (the popularly known name of the much more tamil name Rajesh Raman), with his rapping, that is gonna blow my top sooner than later, under the blissful impression that a random string of syllables assembled and screamed with oohs and aahs smattered to fill up breath pauses make up a rap.. CRAP!!

The latest offering from SJ suryah's stables (formerly known as BF, name now changed to an innocent A..Aaa...), has Rahman doing the music... And there is this song that goes like marangothiye, which means a woodpecker. Dont see how that is romantic and danceable.
But to top it off, Blaaze starts it off with something AS RIDICULOUS AS

Wud I Wud I Wud I Wud I Wud I Wud I Wud I be a Wudpecker!!! (sung 4 times, in a metronomic monodrone, that kills the song, day zero, even before the pitch report. I cant but laugh out loud..)
Wud I Wud I woodpecker????
Who the hell writes these lyrics?? Woodpecker? Motherf-? Let me stick to my limits..
What crap!
Someone murder the lyricists. Someone speak some sense into these idiots please.
Tamil music needs some good lyricists..

Ommahaseeyaa vaahiyaalaa...
Shamse mama mamse...
Yela yelaa yelaa olaa olaa olaa..
Mumbasseiyo!! doyourpeeyo!!
Alamba polaama omayo seele seele...

Nonsense... and there is an idiot called ilayaraja who sits and meticulously transforms the thiruvasagam (a celebrated tamil work of literature) into a symphony.. Who cares? Silly old man... Not many of his kind around..


The future is dark...
Paadal pala ketkumbodhum sila neram ennam thadumaarumo....
