Shamshad Begum And Cukoo, The Seductive Combo Options

[hildebrand]

As oldtimers maybe aware Cukoo was probably the best dancer in the late 40s right into the 50s.
Shamshad Begum was the voice associated with Cukoo in the film industry. Cukoo had a husky voice which matched well with Shamshad Begum's voice. It is said that Raj Kapoor had to give Shamshad Begum the song Ek Do Teen in Awara because he had no other choice since the song was to be picturised on Cukoo! Apparently, the same thing happened with composer Sajjad Hussain He also had to use Shamshad's voice for Cuckoo in Saiyaan (1951). Cuckoo had husky voice and Shamshad voice suited her to T. I believe Cuckoo songs were sung by Shamshad in films like Amber, Anokhi Ada,Andaz, Awaara, Afsana, Paras, Hulchul, Saiyaan, Shabnam, Patanga and many others. Would love to know which songs were these and we can make list.

Starting the token List:-
1. Ek Do Teen - Awara
2. Mere Piya Gaye Rangoon - Patanga
3. Meri Jaan Mohabbat Karo - Saiyaan

Ichak Bichak Churr song lyrics

[singer:- Shamsgad Begum]

ai ichak bichak churr
dil ud gaya baabu phurr

shuru-shuru men pyaar kahega tu dialabar main jaani
dheere-dheere rog badha tab yaad aayegi naani
nazar ka teer seene men laga, gaya dil cheer
man ulajha, ulajhi do akhiyaan, haay! ab kyo ho tadabeer
oy ichak bichak ......................

abhi se ek ke, do do tum ko dene lage dikhaayi
sach-much dono ek bane to phir kya hoga bhaai?
baanvare nain na in ko neend, na in ko chain
dekhat hai ab baat kisi ki ye pagale din rain
oy ichak bichak..........................
dhall
