At times, due to everyday challenges or just a disenchantment with a lot of daily things, we hark back to things old but that excite us. So a few days back, I was listening to this 1980s hit song from s movie of the same name :"Disco Dancer". The lead in the song and the movie 8s Mithun Chakraborty, a famous star of Bollywood from late 70s to 80s. A few words are in Hindi and untranslated but still overall enjoyable. The link :

@Deepizzaguy May be there were a few vulgar songs along with the good ones that made many people dislike them? I don't have much idea about it.

Bappi Lahiri was a great music director. He gave lots of hit numbers. I used to like songs which he sang. One of my favorites is "Pyaar Kabhi kam nai karna". He sang it very nicely. Sadly we lost him a few months ago.

@aninditasen And Kumar Shanu? Your response gives me an idea of posts about some random songs by the above mentioned artists ! And I am sure you would also be fond of late Kishore Kumar, Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal?

That was the craze at those times. I still enjoy the dance moves by Mithun. Would have danced so many times to the tune. It's one of my husband's favourite numbers to dance on.

I enjoyed watching this, thanks. It looks like he nearly over-balanced early in the song but they cut to a different camera.

@JudyEv The actor Mithun Chakraborty is considered to be one of the best actor dancers of Bollywood till date. But yes, there can be blips even in a well rehearsed song!
