My friend Vish is an 80s music junky. His double disc CD collection of 80s music introduced me to enough junk back in my Bard days. These often pop inside my head and I can't shake them, like, ever.Case in point, I had the TV on two-three nights ago, and I saw that Alan Parsons Project was playing somewhere in India. And I immediately started humming Eye in the Sky. And kept humming even two hours later.
This morning, I had the TV on again as I was scrambling through the fridge looking for breakfast material. Suddenly I hear True by Spandau Ballet. The movie was Charlie's Angels. Now True is stuck in my head.
Yesterday it was Kajra Re, the stylish Punjabi-style item song from Bunty Aur Babli sung by Alisha Chenoi (the link shows the entire video, courtesy:YouTube). I haven't seen the movie, have no intention of ever watching it. But boy, is the song infectious?
The CD store across the corner from my office is also responsible for inducing nostalgia. Just the other day this week, I went out for lunch, and they were playing Amae Proshno Kore Neel Dhrubotara, this old Bangla song from the 1960-70s. and for at least two hours after lunch, I was still humming the song.
