The listeners de(Ra)finitely wanted Mor(e)

The songs which were rendered by Mohammed Rafi and picturised on Johnny Walker have never failed to amaze Hindi film music (R)aficionados.

But none more so than Jungle Mein Mor Naacha, the drunken track from Madhumati, since they were teetotallers.

It was penned by Shailendra, and could be translated to, “The peacock danced in the jungle, but nobody witnessed it.”

Unfortunately, many of us haven’t seen the national bird.

But there’s no doubt about the fact that the song, which was composed by Salil Choudhury and was three minutes and seven seconds long, was entertaining.
