I have written about my interest in old Hindi and Tamil songs (http://vbala99.blogspot.com/2010/01/old-mostly-bollywood-videos-of-50s-and.html). This post is about copies made from songs in Western countries.
Today I came across this article
http://dustedoff.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/ten-of-my-favourite-inspired-songs/. I found it very interesting. It listed 10 hit songs of the yesteryears which were inspired from tunes in Europe and Americas.. Especially listen to Dil Tadap Tadap Ke whose original is "Szła Dzieweczka" a Polish folk song.

Another song which has a European heritage is "Ithnaa Naa Tum Mujh Se" from the movie Chaya which closely resembles Mozart's 40th Symphony . Both the tunes are amazing.
While the resemblance of the tune (between the European and Indian version) is striking in the Chaya song it's marginal in the Madhumati song.
Apparently the song "Oh My Darling Clementine" inspired "Aye Dil Hai Mushkil" from CID.
Somehow I felt good. There do seem to be really good tunes outside of India which I am not aware of. It must be interesting to listen to these.
And this is from a Turkish song - Aawaara Hoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhFkEodb9Wc
