Gibberish Lyrics in Tamil Songs: A Trend on the Rise*

The use of poetic lines in Tamil songs is gradually declining, making way for catchy gibberish lyrics that captivate listeners. Here’s a look at some popular Tamil songs that feature this unique trend.

*Harris Jayaraj:*  

In the 2003 film Kakka Kakka, directed by Gautham Menon, the song "O Mahaseeya" became a hit, largely thanks to the catchy line "Oh maha zeeya," which many mistakenly think is Hindi but is gibberish.

*Anirudh:*  

The acclaimed composer AR Rahman also incorporated gibberish in "Mutulavane" from Mutulavan. Anirudh took it a step further with the blockbuster Beast, using the Hebrew-inspired phrase "Malamapita."

*Yuvan Shankar Raja:*  

Yuvan Shankar Raja is known for his creative use of gibberish, particularly in "O Baby" from Yaardi Nee Mohini. Similarly, Santhosh Narayanan's song "Jigar" from Jigarthanda is composed entirely in gibberish.

*Vijay Antony and D. Imman:*  

Lastly, both D. Imman and Vijay Antony have embraced this trend. Imman used gibberish in "Adichuthukku" from Viswasam, while Vijay Antony's "Mass Hi" from Naan Awan Alai features gibberish in its chorus.

This playful approach to lyrics is redefining the sound of Tamil cinema, making songs more memorable and engaging for fans.
