Nenjodu Kalandhidu [Film: Kaadhal Konden (2003)]
Composer: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Inspired by the prelude of The Corrs number, 'Runaway'.

[i2fs] comments: It was rather startling to see Yuvan creating a song solely out of the prelude to the Corrs' number...the basic tune of both the songs are actually different. But yes, Yuvan has tried his hand at a Irish-styled track and perhaps should not have relied on one of the most popular Irish bands around, for inspiration - a rather easy giveaway of the source! The inspiration is very similar to R D Burman using the prelude of Procol Harem's 'A whiter shade of pale' for his 'Manzil' number, 'Tum ho meri dil ki dhadkan'. However, while Pancham created a masterpiece with the limited inspiration, the quality of Yuvan's output is debatable!

[i2fs] comments: I came across this information in newtfmpage and was rather surprised over two things - first, this is the second lift of YSR in the same movie that I had included a couple of weeks back and second, the amount of lift in this track. Blatant and in such a way that it puts a huge question mark over an upcoming (some may argue that Yuvan has crossed that stage with his so-called recent hits...that's besides the point, though) composer's creativity. Trivia note on Anggun: Anggun (born Anggun Cipta Sasmi) is one of Indonesia's most popular musical performers. Now settled in Paris, Anggun's debut English album, 'Snow on the Sahara' with songwriter/ producer Erick Benzi, blend diverse sounds...traditional and con temporary, Indonesian and Euro-American. Benzi has, in the past worked with celebrities like Celine Dion, Algerian rai singer Cheb Khaled, and French pop legends Johnny Hallyday and Jean-Jacques Goldman. Snow On The Sahara recalls the best of Annie Lennox in the rich instrumental textures and soaring vocals of its first single, the title song; and such choice cuts as "Over Their Walls," "A Rose In The Wind," and "Valparaiso." Anggun contributed lyrics to "On The Breath Of An Angel" and to the Indonesian-language song "Selamanya." The album closes with one of its most memorable tracks, her interpretation of the David Bowie classic, "Life On Mars."

>>tfm page should never encourage such spineless copycats to come up in tamil nadu. its pathetic!!!!
do we need one more deva?

  Oh shalalala jamaai [Film: Junior Senior (2002)]
  Composer: Yuvan Shankar Raja
  Inspired by the Turkish smash hit, 'Simarik' by Tarkan, from his 1998 album, 'Ölürüm sana'.
  Listen to Oh shalalala jamaai http://www.iespana.es/i2fs/OhShalalaJamaai-JuniorSenior.rm
  Listen to Simarik http://www.iespana.es/i2fs/Simarik-Tarkan.rm
  
  [i2fs] comments: The same song has also been adapted to Hindi by Anand Raaj Anand in the Govinda starrer, Kunwara (song: Meri chammak challo). 'Simarik' means 'spoilt' in Turkish and this song's video has Tarkan running away from a bevy of beauties amidst narrow lanes, who desperately try to kiss him - even the song is interspersed with sounds of kisses! Its a prominent refrain in Simarik that sounds very much like the opening in the Tamil song! Trivia Note: Unfortunately, every time this song's video is shown on TV in India, the credits mention the name of the song as 'Sikidim'! Sikidim is of course another song by Tarkan too but not the song played in the video.

  Theendi Theedni [Film: Bala (2002)]

  [i2fs] comments: Does being Ilayaraja's son give Yuvan the right to pass of his father's creation as his own? I don't think so!!
