80s Jingles revisited

WARNING : Read this only if you are absolutely free and have the strength for all the nonsensical blabbering.

I and Gautam talked as usual online yesterday. Suddenly, he recalled we were discussing about Lambretta a couple of days back. Thus began our recital of old Jingles....the 80s ones - complete with music and BGMs.

The Bajaj Scooter where the tune of the song is patriotic

me: :) so whats with the scooter

i still recall the

"nayi bharath ki nayi tasveer...hamaara bajaj"

gautam: hamaara bajaj... hamara bajaj...

me: :)

gautam: the two echos that follow

:-)

I recalled the Pepsi ad

me: yeah yeah

the other one.......pepsi

yehi hai right choice baby...aaahaaa

And then Gautam relieved the Nirma washing powder ad. This was really hilarious as I had to feel the music as he logically explained it

gautam: hmmm

washing powder nirma. washing powder nirma. doodh ki safedi... nirma se aai... rangeen kapde bhi khil khil jaaye... sabki pasand nirma... washing powder nirma... (and waiting for the finishing touch from you)

in caps please

if you may

me: NIRMA!

gautam: ha ha ha ha

me: AND THE TRRRIIINGGG

gautam: thank you

me: sound later

gautam: i think it was a ting

without the R

me: oh yeah..

gautam: not sure

it might be a tring also

me: hmmmm

gautam: multiple keyboard keys na tring. single key na ting...

:-p

His logic of whether it was a TRING or a TING made me sigh!

me: ayyyyoooooooooooooooooo

raaama

To which, he tagged a song....

gautam: ye kya hua

tum aise hame satane lage

Which rang a bell to me. I have heard these lines somewhere

me: i am awe struck by your logical sense

which is this one?

gautam: what?

hay rama ye kya hua

me: this is the song

cha

gautam: rangeela

me: rangeela

gautam: ha ha ha

Again back to our advertisements. I recalled Zandu balm ad where a mom hits the bed with back pain and the daughter rubs a pain balm

me: do you remember this one

gautam: hmm lets see

me: "zandu balm zandu balm peeda haari balm ....sardi sardard peeda ko kshan mein door kare..."

remaining lines from you

gautam: jhandu baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalm. jhandu baam.

note the missing l

me: very good.....100/100

oh what missed?

gautam: intricacy for you

and if i may...

me: please

gautam: i think it is pal me door kare

me: oh is it?

gautam: not sure

me: hmmm maybe

gautam: ha ha ha ha

what a discussion!

Gautam suddenly recalled the Mile Sur Mera Tumhara that would be aired on DD. It still is aired and I tune on to Doordarshan only to watch this.

gautam: nimma dvaniye namma dhvaniya... seridanthe namma dhvaniya... :-)

me: wow..i love that song

do you have it with you?

gautam: nope...

me: ende swaramum ningalude swaramum otru sendhu nammude swaramaai

gautam: kare sur jo tari maro bane aapno soor niharo

maja tumja jhud ka taara, madhur swarnajda barasthi taara

me: :)

sur ki nadiya har disha se behke saagar mein mile

baadlo ko roop leke barse halke halke

gautam: badala kaa roo oo oo p leke

no no

you are missing it

ilukanum pa(You need to drag the words)

me: oh...sari sari...

gautam: and see

it ia baadal

ya

me: hmmmm

gautam: but badala ka roo oo oo p leke

barasane hole hole

wow!

Gautam went on to "type" the music along with that song; while visualizing the scenes.

gautam: dil/man ka dariya behke sagar me mile...

badala ka roo oo p laake...

barsane hole hole

that lady with ghunghat

super!

nimma dhvaniye namma dhvaniya

ha ha ha

ne swaramu na swaramu sangamamai

gautam: isaidaal nam

I had to ask him what the "toiiin...toiin...s were.

me: whts that toiin toiin?

oh music hmmm

gautam: ha ha

me: :)

gautam: note two iis and one i in specific places

and imagine the music

me: hmmmmm

gautam: and note the ....s also

in the right places and think accordingly

me: s?? where

gautam: ... dot dot dot

me: haan haan

gautam: when the music fades

I told him that I would blog this conversation

me: :)

wait i will blog this

two mad folks speaking music

gautam: no damage please... ha ha ha

people will think i am mad

i would not expect everyone to understand what i am saying

ha ha ha ha

me: people will think we are mad

thats ok...

gautam: but to be a co star in an episode of your series would be an honour.

:-p

me: ada ada ada.......

gautam: yenna yedo seigirai

Oh yeah, we went back to our 80s advertisements. This time it was Nirma Beauty soap

me: hey do you remember?

soundarya saabun nirma?

gautam: hmmm

me: woh khili khili

gautam: sir seher seher woh janejahan tum chali kahan?

i am absolutely not sure

i wonder why i put that seher'

ha ha ha ha ha ha

me: soundarya saabun nirma

Next it was Vicco Turmeric

gautam: vicco turmeric

me: ok here's one more...

gautam: nayi cosmetic

after this i am not sure

me: (chorus) Vicco Turmeric Ayurvedic Cream!
(female) Tvacha ki raksha karey, antiseptic cream
Roop ko sanvarey, nikharey har dam!
Haldi aur chandan ka anokha sangam!
(chorus) Vicco Turmeric Ayurvedic Cream,

:-)

gautam: ha ha ha ha

me: hehehehe

gautam: hmm

We moved to Lifebuoy :-)

gautam:

zindagi ki raksha karta hai lifebuoy

lifebuoy he jahan

me: thandrust hain wahan

gautam: tandurusti hei wahan

me: LIFEBuoooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyy

gautam: ha ha ha ha

We recalled how in those days we used to wait for the sunday 5 PM movie, sit in front of the TV and watch all these advertisements.

gautam: is karyakram ke prayojak the

one huge list

that goes on for 5 minutes

phew!!!

10 mins movie

10 mins ads

wow!

how did we even survive that?

ha ha ha ha

me: i really waited each weekend for that

5 o clock movie

gautam: ha ha ha

ya ya

i know!

me: but im in front of TV at 4

watching all ads

Hmmm...We were recalling many more advertisements...But Gautam had to hit the bed and I had other works. But we promised to continue this madness later.
