Aayi Re Aayi Saj Dhaj Ke Dulhan: Sangeet Night Special | Punjabi Bride Entry Song.

[blorbocedes]

hiya! I've recently returned back to tumblr and somehow seemed to have remembered your name. I've dearly missed you!!! The last time i was on here, the zendaya throuple movie had been released, and I remember you writing the most magnificent lewis and nico fic, which was so gut-wrenching and honestly so tantalisingly hot. I no longer dabble in ao3 but was wondering if you had any published book suggestions/reading recs of similar writing style. Your writing had been (still is if you're currently writing) so so so mesmerising, so my thought process is that you must've read a tonne of books to get to such a wonderfully expressive and creative writing style.

If it isn't too much of an ask, do you by any chance have book recommendations? Preferably women centric or anything in general.

Thank you!! Hugs and kisses are being sent your way. I'm so happy I've rediscovered you again!! AND ALSO MAX VERSTAPPEN IS A 4 TIME WORLD CHAMPION

💞💞💞

(apologies for any spelling error 😅)

hiii first of all thank you so much for the kind message 🥹🥹🥹 welcome back!

secondly unfortunately all I do is read nonfiction that's related to my degree.

HOWEVER. I asked two women @karlmarxverstappen and @gayferrari who DO read and I trust their taste implicitly, and I asked them for reccs on women centric books that are fun and fucked up because that's how I'd describe my style and here's the reccs:

Tampa by alissa nutting, bunny by mona awad, all is well by mona awad, casandra at the wedding by Dorothy Baker, animal by lisa Tadeo, big swiss by jen beagin, boy parts by Eliza clarke

Bollywood Dance Evolution 

People around the world believe Indian Bollywood dancing is just running around the trees wearing colorful clothing. However, several Bollywood actors had taken their inspiration from many American singers and dancers. The early years of Indian motion pictures didn’t really appreciate too much motion from the actors themselves. These were due to limited technical abilities in the filmmaking, budget controlled and cultural appropriation. Hence the actors would stand still or walk a few steps and use a maximum of a head nod or small radius hand sways. Thus, making dancing to tunes look like kindergarten recital of rhymes. 

Raj Kapoor: One of the first of the Kapoor family tree to make it big in Bollywood. And ever since, his family has the largest monopoly in Bollywood movies. Raj Kapoor used comical dancing to entertain audience. In the movie, Mera Naam Joker, his dancing was a copy-paste of Charlie Chaplin’s dance moves. 

Shammi Kapoor: Another Kapoor prodigy who’s dance was heavily inspired by Beatles band and Elvis Priestley. The head shakes, body n leg twists all were a replica of the greatest pop star Elvis Presley. Dev Anand: Known as the Evergreen Actor, for his youthfulness until the ripe ages of 80s always played a young actor role. But his dancing wasn’t always matching his claimed youth since it was mostly limited to walking sideways like a crab, nodding head and crossing hands. However, this became his iconic moves and still remains so. 

Mithun Chakraborty: The dancing legend of Indian cinema and one of our favourites in Bollywood. His movies Disco Dancer, Dance Dance and many others were all dance themed to show the best of his moves. Mithun’s dance moves are majorly inspired by John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever). 

Dharmendra: Straight out of the gym khana of Punjab, Dharmendra had to invent dance moves for the songs in his movies. He showed his guns(biceps), jumped up and down, crawled on the floor and made up moves with combinations of these movements = Hilarious outcome. 

Amitabh Bachan: The biggest actor ever to play in Bollywood. One of the tallest too.. such long arms and legs aren’t the best design for dancing. The limited space also could have contributed to the creation of his dance moves of walking and alternate forward arm swings. Easy steps replicated by every Indian in every house party. 

Anil Kapoor: An actor that doesn’t seem to get old at all. Know for his cheerful smile and dances which resemble a chicken walk with head bob. Cute moves that  complimented most of cheeky songs that were written for his movies. Mostly dance moves inspired by alcohol infused punjabi weddings. 

Govinda: A close rival to Mithun’s dance movies in Indian cinema. Govinda started his dancing style similar to Mithun but in the 90’s adapted afresh new and Bizarre clothing styles and dances. His moves seemed inspired by daily activities like washing, cooking  and the pelvic thrusts also inspired by after dark activities. 

Salman Khan: one of the highest grossing actors in Bollywood and one of the first with a toned body which he flaunted in each movie. At any given excuse, the man takes his shirt off and flexes his muscles. This is major part of his dancing along with tight fitting shirts and trousers. 

Akshay Kumar: An Actor that is well trained in martial arts uses all the karate chops, kicks and somersaults as part of his dance routines. Stand close to him while he dances and you sure will end up with few broken bones and bleeding nose.

Prabhu Deva: Man with no bones at all. Dances like mercury let loose. But again, his moves are very much inspired by the king of pop  Michael Jackson. However, PrabhuDeva couldn’t manage to shake off his genetically designed Tapanguchi moves from the streets of Chennai and they are clearly evident in his dancing techniques. 

Hritik Roshan: Indian Bradley Cooper, made his entry to Bollywood with his iconic dance moves in first movie and 20 years later he is still repeating the same moves in  every movies. It’s all about his legs and body waves and every kid in India has attempted to dance his moves atleast once!

Varun Dhavan: This good looking actor has adopted dance moves from the mumbaiyya Ganapathi and Holi festivals. Girls in india watch him no matter how he dances or acts. 

Shahid Kapoor: Shahid started off in cute boy sort of movies and now evolved into the big bad roles. During his transition he spent time learning dances that were inspired by Usher and body popping dancers.

The 10 Greatest K-Pop Choruses of the 21st Century

The 10 Greatest K-Pop Choruses of the 21st Century

Today we’re looking at the classic, stupid-catchy and often mind-blowing melodies that have defined the Korean pop world in the 21st century. K-pop listeners know that the right hook can create a viral sensation (just ask PSY), and the following 10 choruses not only got stuck in listeners’ minds and hearts but did so by bringing refrains that were progressive and undeniable to the scene.

Read on to see the full list of the top 10 K-pop choruses of the 21st century (referring to 2000 and beyond) and skip right to the chorus of each entry in the embedded YouTube link. 

10. EXO, “Growl”

The sensational EXO has provided some of K-pop’s greatest modern-day choruses (2015’s “Call Me Baby” and last year’s “Monster” were all contenders for this list), but it’s nearly impossible to deny their breakout hit “Growl.” The refrain opens with a boy-band sound that brings to mind a modern-day *NSYNC, but becomes EXO’s own by the end with its eccentric “I growl, growl, growl” hook that illustrates why it’s always worthwhile to experiment in K-pop.

9. Brown Eyes, “Already One Year”

A standout track from the male duo’s self-titled debut album, the band crafted a chorus that curled into listeners’ hearts. They crooned in English and Korean, “I believe in you / I believe in your mind… / Even after a year or a year after that / I will wait for you,” setting a new standard for ultimate devotion for Korean ballads.

8. Orange Caramel, “Catallena”

A representative song of how twistedly brilliant K-pop choruses can be, the quirky female trio sing about being captivated by the mysterious “Catallena” woman over a mix of Bollywood-inspired disco beats, funk guitar and a sample of a traditional Punjabi wedding folk song “Jutti Meri Jandiye.” The girls’ melodious, baby-coo deliveries and queer-leaning lyrics are almost an afterthought when you consider this jarring-yet-genius chorus.

7. Wonder Girls, “Tell Me”

One of the first K-pop songs to define what it meant to go viral, “Tell Me” was one of Wonder Girls’ early breakout hits with a chorus that anyone could sing. The repetitive “tell me, tell me” lines were the gateway drugs to letting oneself belt along to the more vocally challenging sections, making this a K-pop karaoke classic.

6. Super Junior, “Sorry Sorry”

Super Junior’s super-successful hit parlayed into one of K-pop’s most recognizable dance moves (the shuffling of one’s hands on the chorus, as seen by the members in the music video). Despite being extremely repetitive, “Sorry Sorry” still kept a sense of slickness and sophistication. With its release in 2009, it’s now become a bit of a badge of honor among international K-pop fans who can judge how deep someone’s ingrained in the scene if they can recognize the “Sorry Sorry” dance. Like “Growl,” this came from Korea’s biggest pop supplier, SM Entertainment.

5. Big Mama, “Betrayal”

While Big Mama may have initially stood out for being bigger than most Korean singers, what has kept their legacy alive is their stunning vocals that parlay into heart-wrenching choruses. Their 2007 single “Betrayal” is an emotional confessional from a woman who’s done her lover wrong, marking a chorus that as difficult to swallow as it to correctly sing. Nevertheless, it’s a stunning standout in the K-pop world.

4. Park Jiyoon, “Adult Ceremony”

In today’s K-pop scene, “Adult Ceremony” is a song that stars perform to prove they can pull off mature performances (see Twice or BTS). But when this track dropped at the turn of the 21st century, it was one a defining anthem with Park Jiyoon declaring she wasn’t a little girl anymore. The track boasted a truly chewy bubblegum chorus, but the syncopated vocal rhythm gives it additional sense of mystery making it all the more superbly sexy. Years later, Brown Eyed Girls would also create another equally unforgettable sexual empowerment anthem with 2009’s “Abracadabra,” but you can’t deny “Adult Ceremony.”

3. BIGBANG, “Lies”

While the phenoms have created some of K-pop’s most recognizable hits, when it comes to strictly choruses, BIGBANG’s “Lies” is the true standout. The blend of boy-band harmonies and hip-hop chants marked something fresh for the scene in 2007, and situated the song’s writer and producer G-Dragon as a true mainstream force.

2. DJ Doc, “Run to You”

One of the earliest indicators of the potential of K-pop’s universal appeal, DJ Doc’s megahit from 2000 blended a high-energy hip-hop sound with a simple, melodic refrain that got into all of South Korea’s head. The success of this track, and its undeniable chorus, was all the more remarkable given rap had yet to be truly accepted in the Korean mainstream. The trio not only solidified the burgeoning potential of hip-hop in K-pop, but also signified the importance of genre-blending for mass appeal, which would be a cornerstone in Korean music’s international expansion.

1. Girls’ Generation, “Gee”

Arguably every section of Girls’ Generation’s sensational 2009 single could be an excellent chorus, making its official one all the more impressive and important to explore. Before it hits, the listener has been submerged in GG’s world of “Gee” (see what they’re doing here?) with the repetitive “gee gee gee gee, baby baby” hook peppered through the verses, all leading up to a saccharine explosion that kicks off the chorus. A powerful blast of synthesizers welcomes us into the refrain, seemingly signaling how big this section will, guiding us through though the ladies singing and chanting lines about being unexpectedly in love.

Before “Gangnam Style” mania, “Gee” was the top-viewed K-pop video on YouTube and a major part of that addiction was its centerpiece of a chorus that captured the heart of a new generation of fans that were either enamored with the adorable ninesome or wholly intrigued by something that felt both refreshing and a wink to pop’s simpler, bubblegum past.
