@amrocks100 Some of us actually went and tried to get real information about the film and the song, and Rafi as well. But you think American (YouTube) viewers should be familiar with a foreign film-singer who died 11 years before *YOU* yourself were born? It's not those other comments that are "dumb..."
@UlfenDaddy first it is indeed dumb cuz the song is in hindi. even if the band name sounds english, and say the members are english, how in the effing hell would they sing this song in hindi? i mean theres a special page for this song on wiki and it is clearly written there that this song is sung by him. if you are a fan, you can figure out things about the band irrespective of your age and location.
@amrocks100 I had commented on those very facets already; there is little I can do about it (and I confess it would be very difficult to care,) if you didn't read or understand those comments. Just to quote though, "Hindi is a very subtle, nuanced language and is all but impossible to learn to this degree as a "second language." Furthermore, I did check Wiki; despite the fact that the one who posted this video to Y-T (read the caption above,) gives other information.
@amrocks100 Secondly, you are being Rude. Thirdly, your punctuation and capitalisation is quite poor. Name-calling doesn't suit you; I have read nothing from any commentator on this video that is in any way critical of the video or the performance. If there was misinformation, you can do a far better service to correct that without being snotty about it.
@UlfenDaddy i am not in a english class that i'd care about my style of writing. and if you really care about that, check your first sentence. rude should not be in caps! :P
i'd not care about anything that you'd say about my english.you can't even speak hindi :D
@amrocks100 I get the gist of it; I'm far from a scholar in Hindi and I would certainly never attempt to write it. I did find a full translation elsewhere too, but I've not seen the film. I think that would be highly entertaining. (I first had to decipher a bit becase of Ravi Shankar in fact, a long time ago.)
@UlfenDaddy yeah i think this was the first suspense thriller ever made in india. ahh i see. i love ravi shankar's work. infact his daughter anoushka is a great artist too.
Oh isn't it Great??? I'd wondered about an Anglo being able to sing in Hindi, but thought perhaps Ted Lyons was of the British-Indian "Empire." Many Brits were born and-or studied in India between the last 1880's and 1947 and even beyond. Hindi is a very subtle, nuanced language and is all but impossible to learn to this degree as a "second language." However, Wikipedia cross-referencing seems to indicate the track is actually sung by Mohammed Rafi. The dancer is Laxmi Chhaya.
@UlfenDaddy *The composers are a famous Hindu cinema (Bollywood) team, Shankar Singh Raghuvanshi and Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal, "Shankar-Jaikishan." I dug as far as I could with Wikipedia and some abstruse British sources (dovetailing to The Beatles and other 1960's popular and Hindu-Indian "classical" performers,) and there seems to be No connection between Shankar Raghjuvanshi to the world-famous Hindu sitarist and musicologist, Ravi Shankar.
@MonAlexM *It makes me wonder about repetitive shaking of her head resulting in a kind of concussion-closed head injury... Was poor Laxmi ever "the same" after rehearsing and filming this??? Apparently so, she was a famous film dancer for many years! It's just wonderful!!!
@UlfenDaddy The song is something like: "If we get to know each other, life will be a bit easier. Oh! Thief of my heart, don't steal your gaze away from me! Tell me your name!". I'm doing a shit job of it, but it doesn't sound as good in English. That's just the first verse.
This was one of the favourite videos of Lux Interior (R.I.P.), the singer of the fabolous THE CRAMPS. They used the 50ies and 60ies stuff for creating an own mixture of lofi-blues-trash, punk and rockabilly. who likes Ted Lyons shouldn't miss THE CRAMPS.
@mrchainsaw708 You saw this song on an American Movie called "Ghost World". Most mercans dont kno wots apening in rest of wrld. dis is frm Indian movi Gumnaam
This song is not composed by Mohd Rafi. Rafi is singer only. It is composed by music director duo Shankar-Jaikishan. Of course Rafi was very talented and SJ would not have signed up him if were not.
this will blow your soundtrack socks off to the point of no submission, first time i was introduced to this clip i couldn`t keep away from months, its a cockle warming piece of celluloid
This song blows my mind!! Check out 'The Cramps' song 'Ultra Twist' video. See how it influenced them :) Thanks for sharing.
