HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | MUSIC Re-mixes: Do justice to original composes, says Bappi07th Oct 2005 13.34 IST By Agencies He wears seven gold chains around his neck, has two equally chunky rings for each finger on his hand, has done 440 movies so far. What's more, he recently sued a US-based music band for 'using' his original 'Kaliyon Ka Chaman'. "It was amazing, they had used the original one in the voice of Lata Mangeshkarji. They thought, that it's a third world nation so they could take us for granted and take advantage of us," Bappi Lahiri says. 
"But, I filed a case in the court saying that they had stolen my song and had neither taken my permission nor paid royalty for it. Eventually they accepted the pilferage and even gave my name on the American billboard, saying, Original by Bappi Lahiri," a happy Bappi Da says. "What the 'Baap of Indian Disco' isn't too happy about though, is the fact that the music videos of today are merely using the original lyrics and songs "without giving due credit to the original song composers." "When people remix albums these days, they merely write "Original song so and so" on the album cover but when children see the music video's they don't know anything about it. They just know the re-mix version is by this DJ or that. That is what is a little painful for the original song composer," Bappi says. Onto other things, the man who rather modestly boasts of having done everything that there was to do "20 years ahead of time." "Yarr Bina Chain", "Gori Hain Kalaiyan" and "Kaliyon Ka Chaman" and other such songs that I made in the 80s are a bigger hit today than they ever were," he says. Related Bappi Lahiri |
