Re: [arr] Vairamuthu Neram - July 17, 2008
The same lyrics was composed by a song for doordarshan by M.S.Vishwanathan. I remember Jayachandran used to sing the song. it would telecast as "Mellisai". And then came the Pudhiya mugam version, out of the world composition to the same lyrics. One of THE BEST of ARR compositions.

Re: [arr] Vairamuthu Neram - July 17, 2008
I hope he talks about Thee Thee - Thiruda Thiruda. That was another unusual composition with unusual lyric structure. I vaguely remember him talking about it in one of his interviews. The ARR-VM combo is one of the best combos in TFM in the recent past.
