I started listening to the english songs in the first year of my college. Till that time I had never thought I would ever listen to them. I remember even betting with my friend about it, thanks to the Hard Days Night program on FM Rainbow, I lost it. I had always equated english songs with loudness, meaninglessness, and madness. But as they played beautiful tunes on FM,my opinion altered. And I still don't like the songs that shake my ear bones vigorously.
First english song that I liked was 'When I'm Sixty-Four' - by The Beatles. Since then I'm a die-hard fan of them. I love most of their songs.
I have developed a weird taste for english songs,or so say my comrades.
If you are bored by the same songs you hear,
try these out.
- Starry Starry Night - Don McLean (a song about Vincent Van Gogh)
- Mama look a bobo - A funny song
- There is a hole in my bucket, Matilda - both by Harry Belafonte
- Winter Wonderland - Striper
- Just My Imagination - The Cranberries
- I Can See Clearly Now the Rain is Gone - Otis Redding
- Sugar, Sugar - The Archies - Jolly good
- The Hardest Part - Coldplay
- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
- Let It Snow! Let It Snow! -Frank Sinatra
- Tie Yellow Ribbon to the old oak tree (I heard it first in the movie 'Julie' wherein Amol Palekar's mother in law sings it)
- I really don't like you -Plain white T's
- No Milk Today - Herman Hermits
- Thanks for the Lemonade -Chris Rice {I've listened to it only once on the Radio,but it was great.

PS. Rereading this post in 2014 makes me cringe.
