Nagila
When first @Siva was asking @kk over the phone about nagila nagila nagila from the Kaadal Sadu Kudu song of the movie Alaipayuthae, I thought WTF is wrong with these guys :D then, i took a deep dive and found a few interesting correlations. First of all, it is Nagila and not Nagida (courtesy: Headphones). Nagila comes from Hebrew, in which hava nagila means "Let's rejoice". This belongs to the jewish and israeli music. Infact the song "Hava Nagila" is very famous. Hence, the use of nagila in the lyrical context, musical context and situational context (rejoice with love) is justified. As i said the song "hava nagila" is very famous as you can see that Prakash Raj will be dancing to this song (in towel after bathing) in the movie "Mozhi". And wait. if you listen to the instrumental version of this song, you will find the tunes of Ilayaraja's "En jodi mancha kuruvi" from the movie Vikram. So, what say now ?
