A great deal of
care must be taken when children’s songs are being recorded. They ought to sound
innocent and reflect the juvenile optimism that Nanhe munne bachche teri mutthi mein kya hai (Little kid, what’s in
your fist?) – the song from Boot Polish
(1954) – did so wonderfully.
The evergreen
hit was penned by Shailendra and composed by Shankar Jaikishan. And with their innate
ability to modulate their voices to suit the characters, there couldn’t have
been a better duo rendering it than Mohammed Rafi, the man for all seasons, and
the versa‘T(a)i’le Asha Bhosle.
