One beautiful example I recollect is a Tamil song composed by Deva and
sung by Chitra. I don't know what film was it in; I heard it around
'91. The opening words were "Tat- Tit-To". All along, this song is
very much a typical Tamil melody, with interludes of Ghattam Bols etc.
Towards the very end of the song, the singer breaks into a westernised
fast- paced sequence which is off-scale to the song, and which ends
with the words, "I love you, I love you, I love you". It was a
wonderful song and a perfect example of scale change, well done.
