Roadtrip songs
Roadtrip songs .. and as I've just come back from one .. I guess it's not too hard to come up with some numbers. So here are my choices. Its a bit bollywood heavy this time, and I couldn't find one of the songs that I wanted to put in .. but might try and put it in later today.
1. Dil Chahata Hai
From the movie of the same name. Its all about long roadtrips and the joys of friendship... hoyay much? I love the music video of the song, as it showcases the beautiful western coast of India.
2. Chaiyya Chaiyya
From the movie 'Dil Se'. Another Rahman classic. And singing on trains is love. Kinda reminds me of all the long train trips I went on up and down India. The part I loved best was opening the compartment door, holdinng on to the sidebars and leaning out when the train in going at full speed. Fucking awesome!
Jinke Sar Ho Ishq Ki Chaaon
(who ever has the shade of love on their head)
Paaon Ke Neeche Jannat Hogi
(will feel like they are walking in heaven)
Sare Ishq Ki Chaon Chal Chhaiyaan Chhaiyaan
(le'ts all walk towards the shade of love)
3. Roop Tera Mastana
This song is a classic, From the movie 'Aradhana', released in 1969. Actually, this song is about some serious UST, and giving into the temptation. An instant classic, this is one song that is guaranteed to come up in singalongs on roadtrips. Must be all that repressed sensuality that makes us want to belt it out all the time.
4. Riders On The Storm
Perfect song to listen to on dark empty roads in the dead of the night. And Jim Morrison's voice .. mmm hmmm.
5. Chicku Pukku Raile
This is a Tamil song. One of the early Rahman works (can you tell that I'm obsessed with it :-)). Dancing on the trains ... again. We indians have a unique relationship with our railways. Love to hate it and bitch and moan about it, but we can't live without it. Its the lifeline that has been connecting the nation.. and flirting on the trains are always fun ;-)
