Dard-E-Disco

This track from Om Shanti Om is absurdly hilarious! Not to be taken seriously, its more satirical of the Dard-E-Dil, Dard-E-Jigar-type '70s era, blended well with a Middle Eastern hook. Sukhwinder is loud, powerful and awesome!

I would've loved to have seen the creative process to this track. How blitzed must've people got while coming up with this shyte?

Now especially since you have a hook that ends with the words, "Dard-E-Disco", you need to find words that rhyme with it, right? Well .. Kisko ... that was simple .... So we'll go ...

Main bechaara hoon, awaara hoon, samjhaoon main yeh ab kis kisko
Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco.

Now what do you do about the verse?

Hmm.

Observe the actual lyrical endings of both verses:

Ab phirta hoon mein London, Paris, New York, L.A., San Francisco...
Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco....

(shudder)

Dil tod gaya, mujhe chod gaya, woh pichchle maheeney ke chhabbis ko,
Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco...

I haven't LOL-ed this much in a while!!

Yet. Yet. It's a great driving song!

Wait, you don't drive do you? That's right. You don't have the joy of the open road to dwell on "picchle mahine ki chhabis ko"

Haha! I agree. It's SUCH a catchy song. And I like saying LA NY SF.. it's.. *sigh*.. fun.

It's been such a long time since SRK did a masala song.. I think the last one was Kaal Dhamaal..
