Shailendra sang this superb song

The only song from Arjun (1985) on this blog was Mammaya Kero Kero Kero Mama.

It became an anthem of sorts, and was a desi distortion of Brazilian singer Carmen Miranda’s Mamãe Eu Quero (Portuguese for, “Mom, I want it”).

The track, which was penned by Javed Akhtar, was composed by none other than R D Burman.

It was rendered by Shailendra Singh. He may have become popular as the voice of Rishi Kapoor, but there’s no two ways about the fact that this was perhaps his finest song that wasn’t picturised on the actor.
