A solitary lamp post on Elizabeth Street in the early afternoon makes a lonely sight...
So after a decent weekend, weather-wise, I again have the rich harmonies of Supertramp buzzing around my head. For you see, It's Raining Again [...Oh no, my love's atanend...]
I'm not sure why my brain settled on a moderately successful single from 1982 to soundtrack this morning, but it has. I'm happy with Supertramp buzzing around my head though, as I generally stick to humming it. Heaven forbid I get Creedence Clearwater Revival's Have You Ever Seen The Rain?, as I can't help but belt out the chorus to all and sundry.
Thus I come to today's Tuesday Q and A!
Do you have a song that you can't resist singing out aloud to? What is it?

My all time favourite song is from a Hindi movie "Mausam", which means "Season" (any season). It is written by Gulzar and composed by R.D. Burman. It goes like:
"Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat ke raat-din, baithe rahein tassavur-e-jaana kiye hue....."
An English translation for your kind perusal:
"My heart keeps looking for days and nights of leisure (fursat), when I could keep looking at my beloved's face, doing nothing else..." (I hope it works for you, my translation skills are not much to talk about :-P)
I heard this one first time when I was 11-years-old and didn't even know the full meaning of the lyrics but as I grew old, the song has stayed with me through thick and thin. :-)
P.S. This song can be enjoyed most during rains somewhere in mountains.
Well, no more than Leonard himself anyway...
My mental radio often gets stuck on the Hindi song, Bas itna sa khab hai.

this has the awesome SRK saying that He has a Small dream of just owning the world. :-)
I also love to sing (totally out of tune) "I believe I can fly"
Kris, we are not anymore walking in Canada, 1000 km were enough. We bought a car and drove south, now we are in Salt Lake City. And we try to find out how the Americans are ticking. It's quite hard. So many questions. Canadians and Australians have more similarities (Gemeinsamkeiten).
And I wish that the rain stops.
