Kya sexy song hai….
I think song is a release. When you sing a song, you’re releasing some repressed emotions, feelings and thoughts. In prose you are held responsible in some way, but in song you can express yourself without being accountable. If you say who knows why people fall in love? Someone is bound to ask why? What do you have against love? But if you sing a song with words like Jane kyun log pyaar karte hain – no one is going to ask for an explanation. One is allowed to articulate the desire to make such statements through a song without being checked.

I think the more repressed you are the more you’ll find expression in song. In any given society the greater the repression, the greater the number of songs. It’s hardly surprising that in Indian society, which is repressive, that woman have more songs than men. The poor have more songs than the rich. The folk song is ultimately created, nurtured and preserved by the poor.

If song is indeed the symbol of pleasure of luxury, there should have been more songs in affluent societies. But the fact is that the working and deprived classes have a greater number of songs. I believe that the act of singing is some kind of sublimation of sexuality. So if society is sexually repressed you’ll have many more songs and more singing.
