Not so subtle undertones...
I was listening to this wonderful song..."Kuch to log kahenge" picturised on Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore...evening setting...and Mr. Khanna kind of coaxing the lady in the song in a room..And in this context I thought, why not try to decipher what the undertones of the song really mean...and here's what my wela mind has produced....(there are the lyrics and the undertone explained in italics)...enjoy...

kuchh to log kahenge, logaan kaa kaam hain kahanaa
chhodo, bekaar kee baato mein , kahee beet naa jaaye rainaa
“Come on Baby...dont waste time...dont fear the world...lets make the best use of the weather/ambiance/mood...”
kuchh reet jagat kee ayesee hai
har yek subah kee shaam huyee
too kaun hai, teraa naam hain kyaa
seetaa bhee yahaa badanaam huyee
Now this is even more sinister...Touching on the appealing mythological chord...This is real coaxing…And what a logic, “ Look! People malign everyone…even the mighty Goddess!. So since as it is u r going to be maligned, you might as well (u know what)…….”
fir kyo sansaar kee baaton se
bheeg gaye tere nainaa
“So Baby...pls dont think abt the world...dont bother..dont let a stupid guilt feeling come in between...(u know what).”
hum ko jo taane dete hai
hum khoye hain in rang raliyon me
hum ne un ko bhee chhup chhup ke
aate dekhaa in galiyon me
ye sach hain zoothhee baat nahee
And the last leg…equally touching..though on a different level…”Everyone does it…even people who voice loudly against indulgences have fun…So Baby, don’t worry…enjoy…and even if someone sees, it wont matter…I have seen them as well….so it will be mutual scratching of back”
tum bolo ye sach hain naa
“U agree to whatever i say...right???…..Cumon….”
