(Ra)Fittingly, Bambai was immortalised B(e)a(b)utifully

Main Bambai Ka Babu, from Naya Daur was about Mumbai, composed by Nayyar, sung by Mohammed Rafi and picturised on Johnny Walker [who was, incidentally, a bus conductor with the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking before his foray into films.]

Sahir Ludhianvi penned the song, which was two minutes and 58 seconds long.

(Disclaimer: Its resemblance to another track must’ve been coincidental. But it would be unfair to conduct an OPinion poll on the better of the two, because they have another thing in common – they were, are and will always be popular.)
