"People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time, boy. You're no longer on the ball"

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ahhh, people ask me questions, lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go..." John Lennon

Vanash, I would like to get a CD of some of the pop songs currently enjoyed by Indian youngsters eg. Mr Kandasar, Derri Merri, Vishte Nate, Jen me Je. I realise I have probably not pronounced the titles properly, but since you live in Lenasia, you might have family that can identify what I'm looking for? Thanks in anticipation!

You know, I do my Indian community a great discredit in that I don't understand even one of the many rich Indian languages. That said, I will speak to a few people I know who are in a position to identify those songs!
I'm glad you've given me an opportunity to make a once off 'bollywood,' music video post, but it will be a very special one, one that actually has a story and one that promotes racial and cultural intergration and diversity..will do so in the next post....

In memory of Nazia Hassan: 3 April 1965 – 13 August 2000
In dedication to all women who lost their lives to cancer
“Aap Jaisa Koi”
“The flower for Spring and Spring for the garden. The heart for a heart, the body for a body. Each desires the meeting of a body and soul..”
I’m not going to pull a Bollywood on you, I promise! In the spirit of cultural diversity and celebrating our differences, I’ll make this one post of an Indian song. I do my Indian community a great disservice in that I understand not even one of the several rich Indian languages.
1. In 1980, Nazia Hassan was 15 years old! She was a teenager yet she released a song that sold millions of albums. The song was used in the 1980 Indian movie ‘Qurbani,’. The songs name is Aap Jaisa Koi. She was one of a few Asian females that appeared on BBC in 1981. The footage of Nazia Hassan herself singing this song is very, very, very rare and can actually only be found at one link:-http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00nbwmv

2. In the Movie Qurbani, the song is lip synced by an actress. The movie was way ahead of it’s time as the stage actress was dressed in a sexy and appealing manner and so were her fellow female singers! There were White people in the audience; the singing entourage consisted of a Black drummer. This was in 1980!!!
3. In 1980, I was in grade 1 and Nazia Hassan was a teenager about 15 years of age when she made this hit song! The song was played on a regular basis in Lenasia between 1980 and 1983.
These are not my lyrics, I can’t vouch for their authenticity, I googled it!
I proudly give you ‘Aap Jaisa Koi,’(Remember this was in 1980!!!!!)


“Movie Name – Quarbani
Year – 1981
Song - Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
Actors - Zeenat Aman, Firoz Khan
Singer - NAZIA HUSSAIN
Composer – Biddu”[1]



“English Translation of the Song Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye from Movie Quarbani is in Red Color.”[2]

“Lyrics of the song Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye from Movie Quarbani.”

“Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
Someone like you should come into my life

To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
Someone like you should come into my life

To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great


Phool Ko Bahaar, Bahaar Ko Chaman
Flowers need Spring, Spring needs garden

Dil Ko Dil, Badan Ko Badan
Heart needs heart body needs body

Har Kisiko Chahiye Tan Ka Milan
Everyone wants physical relationships attachment

Kash Mujh Par Aisa Dil Aapka Bhi Aaye
I hope wish that your heart will also feel like this for me

To Baat Ban Jaaye Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
Someone like you should come into my life

To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Maein Insaan Hoon, Farishta Nahin
I am a human being not a messenger of god or angel

Dar Hai Behak, Na Jaun Kahin
I fear that I may go out of the control

Tanha Dil Na Sambhlega
Lonely heart may not stay in control

Pyar Bina Yeh Tadpega
Without love heart will suffer

Aapsa Kahan Hai Dil Aapko Hi Paaye
No one is like you; My heart only wants to reach you

To Baat Ban Jaaye Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
Someone like you should come into my life

To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
Someone like you should come into my life

To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great

Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye
Someone like you should come into my life


To Baat Ban Jaaye, Haan Haan Baat Ban Jaaye
It will be great; Yes Yes life will become great”[3]

Vanash, greetings and all and all! Thanks so much for the video on 'Aap jaisa Koi". That is one of the songs that I was looking for! And also the lyrics! Now I can understand what the young girl is singing about. I did not realise that the song was recorded so long ago - 1980!! Lotus FM (started playing?) this tune last year hence my thinking it is fairly new. After the song there's also a link/a page to other Bollywood tunes which you've kindly provided which I'll look at later. Much appreciated!!

This song of Nazia Hassan is very unique in that she sandg it when she was just 15 Years of age! She tragically died of cancer at the young age of 35! If you want something very, very rare on Nazia Hassan than it can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00nbwmv
and literllay nowhere else. It was a big deal for an Asian singer to appear on BBC in 1980! Here she sings it on BBC when she was just 16 years of age!
I reiterate that I do my Indian community a great discredit in that I don't even understand 1 of the various rich languages of the Indian community. I appreaciet that both Indian movies and music are appealing to many people. I largely listen to english music and watch english movies...

[Citizen X]

Pete, if your plea to me is: Vanash give me a remix of the Indian classic by Nazia Hassan with a cute and sexy(but not sluty Indian chick), then, if you insist, I'll gladly comply!

[Citizen X]

music makes the world go round...

"People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time, boy. You're no longer on the ball"

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ahhh, people ask me questions, lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go..." John Lennon
