Thaiyya Thaiyya - Dil Se

Ok, accepted that Chaiyya Chaiyya is clearly the hit. But there is something that is so awesome in the passion of this song as opposed to the energy of chaiyya chaiyya. The song is lost somewhere in the film but it stands out in the album. Whenever I listen to chaiyya chaiyya I seem to automatically chest rock to the repetitive beat - you know that motion when your entire upper body sways back and forth with every beat. Though this one is supposed to be sibling song, it makes me move differently - mostly swaying the head and tapping the feet alone. I almost want to believe that Rahman had each of this planned!

There is very little by way of lyrics in the song. It works mostly through repetition of the few, but beautiful, lyrics.
