So here is this song, sung with gusto by Rafi. Babita, Sunita, Greta- all are similar sounding names. Raja tells me that this would have been ideal birthday song for Greta too had we been able to post it a few days earlier. This song is sung by Rafi and it is picturised on Jeetendra, Babita and whole lot of characters assembled to celebrate the birthday of Babita, who plays Sunita. It is the first farmaish that I have got in person. He gave this birthday song from “Farz” (1967) as his farmaish. I could not resist asking him to give a farmaish. We were both unanimous that Greta is playing a stellar role in popularising old Hindi movies and the lesser known actors of Hindi movies. We also discussed people whom we both admire, such as Memsaab. He was interested to see my songs collection and my methodology of posting songs in the blog. We spent some three hours together and discussed whole lots of issues of importance. It was the first time I ever met a regular visitor of my blog in person. It was a matter of great happiness to me that I was able to meet with Raja face to face yesterday night (29 october 2010). ![]() In the earlier days of this blog when I used to post just one song a day, Raja was one the earliest regular visitor of this blog and his encouragement went a long way in the development of this blog.Īll these days, we had interacted only on internet. I used to discuss Hindi movie songs on that forum, and later I hit upon the idea of this song blog. We have spent five fun filled years together in this cricket forum. With time, we discovered that we shared many things in common, viz age, similar interests etc. Both of us are today members of a cricket forum called Cricforum. I know him on internet from 2005, when we became familiar to each other because of our mutual interest in cricket. I in fact cherish their comments and encouragement.Īmong the regular visitors of this blog, Raja occupies a very important place in my heart. Some of them have become regulars and they feel like friends and even family to me. Recently the blog clocked one million visits, which is not bad for a non professional blog like this.ĭuring these two years, I have received lots of encouragement from lots of visitors by means of comments, suggestions, farmaishes etc. In these two years, we have passed many milestones. The musicians on this list were able to capture all of those hyper-specific but universally felt emotions, and then some.įrom classic tracks that will make you want to “party like it’s your birthday,” even when it’s not (a la 50 Cent), to deep cuts that have you questioning your own mortality (we’re looking at you, Sufjan Stevens’ “Happy Birthday”), check out Billboard’s ranking of the 30 best birthday songs below.This blog is over two years old now. Along with all the cake, candles, streamers and presents come bittersweet, complicated feelings about turning one year older, from nostalgia for birthdays past to unbridled terror for the future, grief for one’s youth, confusion over what to do next and total happiness at the chance to live life to the fullest for another trip around the sun. It’s definitely a good thing that there’s such an abundance of birthday-themed music, because let’s face it - birthdays can be complex. Artists from Lesley Gore in the ‘60s to Stevie Wonder in the ‘80s to Katy Perry in the 21st century have all completely reinvented the long-established birthday singing tradition, with new and inventive melodies of their own. Whether you love it or hate it, it’s safe to say the tune and its many extended versions and comedic renditions aren’t going anywhere… but it doesn’t have to be the only song that defines your big day. ![]() In 1998, the Guinness Book of World Records even named it the most recognized song in the English language, more than a century after it was first written by sisters Mildred and Patty Smith Hill for the 1893 book titled Song Stories for the Kindergarten.
