Now I am all mad at myself because I can’t remember if I celebrated “1 2 3 4” day back in 2004. Oh well, I’ll have another chance in 2040. And January 23rd 2045 will be the best EVER. But just regular old January 23 is okay too I guess.
Continue readingForget best song, that’s too hard. I’ll limit it down to just “best love song”. It was kind of an all over year for love songs, nothing immediately leaps out at me, which makes this a fun post!
Continue readingThis is a “discussion” post, I’m not going to say these are the best songs, or even that they will be my favorites tomorrow, or anything objective. These are just the ones that are my favorites right now and you can jump in with your favorites.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Salman! Poor Salman, almost a Christmas baby, tends to get lost in the holiday shuffle. I’m worn out and still have more family events to go to, so I am going to slack on him this year too. At least I will hope for a celebration in the comments with the rest of you chiming in with songs I missed.
Continue readingI can’t really think of a time that Rani and Salman were “sexy” together, but they have had a lot of really great dance numbers! Especially the last song on this list, you can skip the rest, but give yourself the joy of watching that one.
Continue readingOkay, after the two warm up posts yesterday, now we have the one people will really really care about: can you rank Rani-SRK songs for sexiness?
Continue readingFor a respectable actress, Rani has done a fair number of songs that show off her sexiness as a solo person. Not item songs exactly, more songs where we are watching her from the perspective of the hero and desiring her.
Continue readingThis was going to be a post of “Rani’s sexiest songs”, but she has been in WAY too many sexy songs. So instead I am limiting to Rani-Aamir only, and will probably do Rani-Shahrukh and Rani-Abhishek and Rani-Everyone Else so on later.
Continue readingGreat year for beautiful meaningful songs. Not so great for the other songs, the bouncy ones. But we will make-do!
Continue readingI already did kind of a lead up post to this, the general emotional songs that don’t fit any standard genre (sad song, love song, etc.). Now I am going to just go ahead and throw everything in a big heap, everything that is emotional whether it is love song, sad song, religious song, what have you. It was a really really good year. Also, save this post for the next time you have a sinus infection, it’s great for clearing your tear ducts right out.
Continue readingYou know what’s weird about 2009? A surprisingly large number of those songs that are slow and deeply emotional but aren’t exactly love songs. Weird!
Continue readingOkay, I broke songs down into 3 categories, love songs and peppy bouncy songs and party songs. Now, out of all of those, I am going to try to limit it down to a few top options, and you all get to pick the bestest of them all!!!!
Continue readingThis was a surprisingly rich year for those peppy bouncy catchy songs that get stuck in your head. The ones that aren’t quite party songs, or love songs, but somewhere in between.
Continue readingThe veterans got all those great fanfics yesterday, time to move on! Armistice day now, lets look at peace songs. Or, rather, catchy modern songs that use “shanti” as a repeated phrase.
Continue readingI’m exhausted from baby hosting, so I am going to put up a post to get a discussion started! Yes, I am going to be brave enough to attempt to RANK the best SRK songs. I expect all of you to disagree with me in some way.
Continue readingMy nephew is not the most happy little guy in the universe. I am not a good enough aunt to actually visit him and take my turn going “bubba bubba bubba” until he stops crying. But I am a good enough aunt to give him blog posts!
Continue readingI’m not messing around, I went to his full filmography and pulled out every song that evokes that “I desire you like oxygen but do not feel worthy to do more than gaze at you” feeling.
Continue readingOh, this is hard! This is very very hard! He has so many good ones. I had a hard time even limiting down which to include in this post.
Continue readingThis is by no means an exhaustive list, feel free to jump in with your own suggestions. I’m just listing off the first songs that come to mind for me when I think about Indian movies set in America.
Continue readingLike I said, this is my “lazy and happy” series. And you know what isn’t a lot of work and makes me happy? Theme songs posts!
Continue readingHow is this very specific category still far too large to possibly cover in one post? It’s like every time a couple consummates, it rains in India. Or I suppose, every time it rains in India, millions of couples rush out to their terraces because now it is time to finally have sex in slow motion.
Continue readingAnother “Emily thinks deeply about songs” inspired post! She was talking about the surprise hits, the ones from new composers or singers or just different genres. And that made me think about those songs that changed everything.
Continue readingIs that title clear? I feel like it is a genre that we are all aware of, but maybe it is just me and my sister and Angie in the comments. Doesn’t have to be longingly and lustfully, but also doesn’t NOT have to be longingly and lustfully.
Continue readingI suspect some of you will have STRONG OPINIONS on this question. I also feel like maybe I have done this post before? Or something similar? Anyway, it is a vital question that deserves constant revisiting and revising. And since tastes differ, it is also a question that should spark some interesting and enlightening discussion!
Read moreI just put up a post about kissing onscreen, and a comment from Alisa/BollywoodNewbie got me thinking about how maybe the reason kisses are so shocking is because they are the one act everyone understands. While all the other stuff that is just implied goes right over people’s heads. Not “against the grain” things, but things that have no logical explanation beyond sex, and imply sex which is not procreational and married and in the missionary position.
