Recently I heard this song in a musical event which is very rarely sung in events like these. It was not the first time that I heard this song, but this time, it took me decades back and I was curious to gather a few more details about this song.
I used to believe that it was "Pancham" who brought western music into Indian film music in 1960s and the mix of Hindi and English lyrics was used for the first time in 1980s. This belief proved wrong by this song. This is the song from the film "Shehnaai" released in the year 1947, i.e. 63 years ago. This song was surely far ahead of its time. In fact, C.Ramchandra was the pioneer of this trend. He used a combination of a bongo, an oboe, a trumpet, a clarinet and a sax for the song "Shola Jo Bhadke" in "Albela". He sang the title song "Shin Shinaki Boobla Boo" with Lata Mangeshkar which included rock rhythms. He provided the musical score for the scat song "Ina mina dika" in "Aasha".
Coming back to this song which is sung and composed by Ramchandra Chitalkar aka C. Ramchandra and Meena Kapoor. Her voice was very similar to that of another legendary singer Geeta Dutt and both were very good friends. Meena Kapoor later married music director Anil Biswas. This song had a longer version as well in the movie and Shamshad Begum also featured in that.
This song was adapted by National Egg Coordination Committee for encouraging the consumption of eggs.
