Why This Kolaveri Kolaveri Kolaveri Craze?


While "Why This Kolaveri Di?" a Tamil song recorded for movie "3" went viral on the internet creating records, I thought of summing up what's so great about this song?  Despite the criticism by music puritans, there is something about this song.... probably the simple lyrics, relaxing tune and moreover great combination of instruments have contributed to the success of the song.

1. Why This... is a less Tamil and more English song sung by Dhanush the hero (he is Superstar Rajanikant's son-in-law) of Tamil movie "3".  Shruti Hasan (daughter of very accomplished actor Kamal Hasan) is the heroine in "3".
2. This movie is being directed by Aishwarya R. (daughter of Superstar Rajanikant)
3. Sony Music's release of the song digitally 20 days ago gave enough push
4. It's 21 year old composer Anirudh Ravichander's debut for a movie
5. According to him it took mere 5 minutes to come out with this simple tune
6. The situation in the song is about failure in love
7.  Why This Kolaveri stands for "Why this murderous rage against me?" and 'Di' is colloquial slang for girl just as "Da" for boys
8. "Soup" is said to be a colloquial Tamil word used for guys who suffer failure in love.
9. Ancient Indian instruments used in the song like "Shehanai" and "Nadaswar" bring absolute delight for listeners
10. As per Anirudh, the song has the added flavour of Western instruments like Accoustic Jazz Guitar and Saxophone
11. The Indian folk rhythm makes the song more appealing
12. Composer Anirudh has learned western classical piano and carnatic music.  He had been part of a Carnatic Western Fusion Band and had a Rock Band during his college days
13. The song was recorded at ace musician and composer A.R. Rehaman's studio
14. Anirudh has promised that rest of the songs being composed for the movie will be of pure lyrics and pure tunes
15. By the time this post goes online, there are 17.5 28 Million + hits on youtube on this song that means quite a few thousand dollars!
