Some of them capture youthful lingo perfectly, some capture the essence of love in a manner unique in its own way. While the lyrics of Bollywood songs have come under scrutiny often these days for being too vulgar and unpalatable, some songs have surpassed all boundaries and created combinations of words that has never been heard before. Here are few of the most innovative ones...
ASALAAM-E-ISHQUM - GUNDAYLyricist: Irshad Kamil The songs of the film are a combination of Hindi and Urdu, with all songs packing a punch to go with the mood of the film. Asalaam-E-Ishqum and Jashn-E-Ishqa define love and the celebration of love in a way that is unique.
BADTAMEEZ DIL - YEH JAWAANI HAI DEEWANILyricist: Amitabh Bhattacharya This phrase caught like a wild fire and has become synonymous with young hearts ever ready to some dhamaal and masti. The entire song is laced with some whacky lyrics done in a never before style.
LISTEN: Songs of 'Highway' on Gaana.comLocha-E-Ulfat - 2 statesLyricist: Amitabh Bhattacharya Love is but a journey of ups and downs. Simply put in today’s casual lingo, a whole lot of locha. And here lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya beautifully brings out a combination of contemporary lingo with a touch of imperial Urdu.
BESHARMI KI HEIGHT - MAIN TERA HEROLyricist: Kumaar Where imaandari seems like a bimari, besharmi definitely would be at the peak of its ‘height’. Lyricist Kumaar brings a combination of contemporary lingo emphasizing jovial yet naughty mood in the song. And the tune gets to you too.
UMMABAKKUM - O TERILyricist: Abhinav Chaturvedi While attaching a meaning of this word is difficult, but going by the entire song, it seems like an innovative creation for a ‘naughty’ word. Lyrics like ‘All Night Karenge — Ummbakkum’, do nothing but add a bit of lusty naughtiness to the word.
PATAKHA GUDDI - HIGHWAYLyricist: Irshad Kamil Laced with a strong Punjabi essence in the song, lyricist Irshad Kamil brings out the mood of the a character that goes through a huge transformation on the highway. The two words ‘patakha’ and ‘guddi’ together show two sides of the same person.
