How does it go, again?

Forget poetry. These 10 songs live in our heads rent-free mostly for their hooks and silly lines. Come on, you know the words...

1 Balam Pichkari (2013)
Sung by Shalmali Kholgade. The song from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is still dusted out at Holi a decade on. But consider that "balam pichkari" has sexual connotations and it explains why everyone grins so much when it plays. Even without the innuendo, "Itna maza, kyun aa raha hai? Tune hawa mein bhaang milaya?" injects new colour into tired Holi cliches.
2 Deewana Hai Dekho (2001)
We even know Poo from K3G's one-liner before the song begins. "Kaun hai yeh, jisne muddke mujhe nahi dekha? Who IS he?" The sassy love song stood out in the era of slow ballads. Complete the following: "Jhoom chiki chiki jhoom, tum bolo hai woh kaun jo.... Memory is so cringey.
3 Kar Gayi Chull (2016)
Kapoor & Sons introduced us to "chull" a word for sexual itch. The party favourite has great lines: "Arey daayein, baayein, kaise kamar tu jhulaaye, Physics samajh nahi aaye". The chorus: "Arrey ladki beautiful, kar gayi chull" isn't even a great rhyme. But no note is wasted in this song.
