This was a dream-inspired (Kisho)rendition

If the four Kishore Kumar solos from Mere Jeevan Saathi were arranged in the alphabetical order, Chala Jaata Hoon would be the first.

There’s no two ways – literally and figuratively – about the fact that the song was nothing short of a bonanza for trivia buffs, including yours truly.

It is said that the tune of the track haunted music director R D Burman in his dreams.

Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the track, which apparently inspired Goodbye Eloisa, a 1991 song by the German band Die Flippers. It must have been a rare case of reverse plagiarism.
