D.I.S.C.O.
I was this close to posting about the original movie Disco Dancer and the song Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja which M.I.A. has reclaimed in her truest fashion, but as is often the case, I was pipped to the post by the boyz at Club Contact.
A classic bollywood film, not just for its’ soundtrack but for the terribly choreography and terrible dialogue – the film is firmly embedded in my psyche (mainly because I was forced to perform the title track as a youngster in front of all the ‘aunties’ at some wedding. Even in my tragedies, disco plays a role). (Interestingly enough, as quite a few bloggers have pointed out, the film was huge in the Soviet Union). I really struggled to choose a clip to share (youtube is full of them) from the film, so I encourage you all to take 30 mins out of your life to go and enjoy the delights of the film).
The soundtrack to Disco Dancer was composed by Bappi Lahiri who, perhaps single handedly is responsible for bringing 80s eurodisco to indian cinema (and for stealing melodies outright from other artists – Jimmy is based upon the 80s hit You’re Ok by Ottawan, Auv Auva borrows from The Bugles ) – a trend that stayed around for a decade when the rest of the world had claimed disco had died.

Thanks for posting this!
Some of the links seem to be broken though -- I especially want to hear "Auva Auva," but it won't work...

That one doesn't work for me, either. Fileden gets confused and cuts the filenames off before the commas for 3, 7 and 8. The others are great, though!

The link for "I am a Disco Dancer" didn't work! Please update, please. It's really hard to find this song...

Hey there,
Dig the blog. Quick question. Do you know who did the original disco version of Krishna Dharti Pe Aaja Tu? I found "Jesus" by Cliff Richards, but I can't find the disco version. Any ideas?

Where did you get such a high quality encoding?
Can the actual cd be bought anywhere?

"Bandwidth exceeded" --Fileden sucks royally, my friend. You need a server you can count on; check out something like box.net. Very nice, and quick.

An english song will be played while the hero is introduced in the movie. I like that song very much. Does anybody know what that song is?
