Dear Surjit-ji,
I was trying to listen to the songs posted at
http://hindi-movies-songs.com/index-kids.html
Apart from the first song, "aao aao honahaaro.n"
I was not able to play any other song on the
page. I am using Windows Media Player 7.0 and
the error given was "Unable to initialize a file".
It would also be helpful if you could please
mention the names of the movies in parentheses.
That would give me a pointer to further investigate
the soundtrack.
While on the topic of kids' songs,
I am interested in kids' songs and nursery songs
and collected quite a few Bengali nursery songs.
In HFM, my efforts have not been that successful
(probably because Hindi songs on 78 are not easily
available in the eastern part of India). What
are some of the lesser known kids' songs in HFM,
especially in the 40's and 50's? (no harm in
mentioning the popular ones though, if
someone is interested.)
Apart from the songs in the above Website, there
are a couple not featured on regularly on
HMV compilations that I like very much
-chhupaa chhupi ho chhupi aagar baagar jaa_ii re
by Manna De, AshaB from Savera
-maamaajii ke ##rocket## me.n ham chaa.Nd ki
sair kare.nge [probably from Robin Bannerjee MD-ed
Masoom - This movie had quite a few nice children's
songs: naanii teri moranii, desh kaa pyaaraa sab kaa
sahaaraa)
-Prithviraj
PS: I am aware of HMV's output in this area
and I am not interested in nursery rhymes of
the Preeti Sagar etc. genre.
