What's your favourite song featuring 'you' ?

"Unse Nazar Kya Milin Roshan Fizaein Ho Gayee..." - 

Hosh walon ko, 'Sarfarosh', 1999

And instantly I smile. That single line within an already awesome song elevates the number to a ethereal plane for me. 
How many of you smile when your name comes up in a song? I guess not everyone is lucky enough to born with names like Roxanne, Sheila, Munni or Black Magic Woman, but still, I always wonder - do you react when the singer sings your name within a song or do you just casually ignore it?
Me, I'm very much a part of the former category -  I have been lucky too, obviously. Some very beautiful Hindi songs over the years have featured my name. And I always make it a point to let everyone in the room know that the singer just called out my name. Yeah, what can I say? They removed the humility bone along with the umbilical cord.

Anyway, here are some of the songs that I always keep around in my car's playlist to showcase my own awesomeness. (Making me sing them, unfortunately, is not a good idea for reasons I have explained earlier.) 


'Ye Chand Sa Roshan Chehra', 
Movie: Kashmir ki Kali
An obvious choice, considering the name is right there in the title but I really was a big fan of Shammi Kapoor for being a great entertainer too and bringing that spark of unabashed glee that Bollywood really needed.





'Kuch Kum', 
Movie: Dostana
I will just come out and say it - this is one of the most underrated feel-good movies from the Karan Johar - Yash Raj studios. The script was smart, the jokes were funny without being crass given the theme of the movie and more importantly, the songs were good. The fun and hip numbers were real foot tapping numbers but lost among them were two very good slow songs too - Khabar Nahi and Kuch Kum.

Other songs that came to mind included Shankar Mahadevan's Breathless and the 1935 Devdas' Roshan Hai Tere Dum Se

In a close second place comes the lovely Raabta from Agent Vinod. There was a time when I had this song on loop and played it over and over... sigh. Good times. 




So who's number one, you ask?

My all time favourite in the list featuring me is of course, Jagjit Singh's Hoshwalon from the movie Sarfarosh.
One of those songs that easily land in a 'Best of Jagjit Singh' playlist, I love how this song was picturized and the almost magical lyrics. Seriously, it is one of those songs that makes you stop whatever you are doing and just yearn to call the person you love.

What about you all? Which song featuring you do you love the best? And if, like that awesome cricketer Vangipurapu Venkata Sai Laxman, you find it tough to get songs featuring you, which song featuring a loved one do you love the most? Do tell.
