'Twas fun. My cousin helped me put on makeup. FOR THE FIRST TIME. It was like they were painting my face. NEVER going to curl my eyelashes again. It feels incredibly gross. And I think I have mascara still on. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! I hate lipstick too! I rubbed it all off during the dance. DISGUSTING.<br /><br /><br />But hey, I danced with a lot of boys. Random boys were asking me to dance with them. My friend said it was cos I was PRETTY. I have to admit that I liked slow dancing with the boys though.<br /><br />I'd have pulled off some of Shammi's awesome dance moves, but I was wearing a stupid dress.

All lovely, lovely, songs, and I must admit that I left out <i>Jaa tose nahin bolun kanhaiya</i> with a heavy heart. I'm so glad you listed all of these.

Thanks, Shalini. :) Personally, I think Lalitha would have trounced me if I had picked up any more sad songs! <br /><br />So far, according to both Lata and Suraiya (old interviews), they sang only five duets together. If they did sing any more, I haven't been able to trace them. Ashokji posted a clip with the five I mentioned in my blog. <i>O door she desh aa jaa re</i> was on my shortlist along with the two songs from <i>Balam</i> that I listed. I dithered over them, then went with <i>Balam</i> because it was by Husnlal-Bhagatram. <br /><br />I agree with you about being underwhelmed by the Lata-Asha combo output. I think I would put my personal favourites at a dozen or so too, the four I listed being among them. I did like <i>Dabe labon se kabhi</i>; it is new to me, as is the Mahendra Kapoor-Lata duet you listed. The latter song is so soft, so... so quiet!

Now for some random additions of some of my favorites:<br /><br />w/Surayia - I think they have more than 5 duets together. I'm very fond of this one:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MzgbIAai10<br /><br />w/Asha - I must confess, given their extraordinary talent, I find the songs produced by the Lata-Asha combo depressingly underwhelming. Out of the 75 duets they've sung, I probably genuinely like a dozen or so. One of them being this one:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH5qJyFuPs0<br /><br />w/Mahendra Kapoor - Aaj madhuvatas dole from Stree<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL0ZvBhhQ30Shalininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-90349771430099079752012-10-07T11:22:07.031-04:002012-10-07T11:22:07.031-04:00 Hmm, you have a point! -goes off to do just that-...

Harvey, you <i>never</i> disappoint! :-) And thank you so much - I <i>know</i> you are very busy! <br /><br /><i>Shaam dhale khidki tale</i> *is* the obvious choice for a Chitalkar-Lata duet, isn't it? I like the song, but somehow, I tend to go in for the more melodiously romantic numbers. Perhaps that is why.<br /><br />As for Rafi-Lata, the choice is so much (400+ songs), that I agree it is very, very difficult. For Lata-Manna Dey, I have used <i>Dum bhar jo udhar munh phere</i> in so many lists, that I didn't want to use it again. :) The <i>Chori Chori</i> duets are also favourites; guess I just wanted to list a 'new' favourite. :)) <br /><br />I have never heard <i>Gokul ke gwale</i> before!
