Have you ever wondered who started copy culture in Bollywood movie Industry ?
There is Anu malik , there was bappi lahari, but who is before that. What, how and who used to copy songs for our favorite industry pre-bappi era ? Someone should really investigate this matter ( and blog it ), like bollycats are doing.
For the time being I present you one fossil evidence of same profession , which date PB era ( pre-buppi era).This song feat.s hysteric Shammi kapu and four monkyes dancing to a tune directly plagiarized from a Beatles song.
Yenjaay
and the orginal
I thought Shammi Kapoor used to “BollyCat” Elvis dada… whatever, so he started it….
Gawd, it’s so bad it’s funny. If it makes you feel any better, press the play button on both your clips, then hit the mute on the Hindi one. Shammi becomes far funnier when the Fab Four serenading are the original Fab Four.

They give it a decent name : INSPIRATION!
yes know this one – many bollywood ians have been inspired! from time immemorial
hey there is also the rare reverse inspiration like the tune of i dont know whaaay of iglesias taken from dum maro dum …
and that other rape (rap) song plagurised from our very own bappi das original prompting him to sue.
How about Kamal Hassan’s artistic (sorry shameless) adaptation of Mrs Doubtfire…
By the way Bappi Lahiri sued someone for copying his music…Isnt he the biggest “plagiarizer” of all (I dont mean size)

INFACT SEARCH FOR lord shorty ON YOUTUBE AND YOU COULD GET A FIX ON APNA KISHORE DA….
RD/Sd and musicians of 60s/70s mostly plagiarized for eastern european classical folks. There are astounding similarities in both the styles, thats shameful. We never had anything original, even in the e-biz. SHAMEFUL SHAMEFUL SHAMEFUL.

In the new Himmesh movie Radio the song “Radio” is a straight lift off from Savage Garden’s “I Want you”
Hell he even lifted the video.
Then there is “Jaana Suno” from Khamoshi which is a lift off from a Paul Anka song my cousin told and I don’t remember the name of it.
