That was an interesting posting from raamakRshNagaaru. That reminds me the
following story from SreeSree (written in his _paaDavOyi bhaarateeyuDaa_, a
film song compilation).

Now, going totally off the track and quoting a funny film song with English
words. Its from _baarisTar paarvateeSam_ (YES! There was a film with that
title from the year 1940, starring (Baby) G.varalakshmi, LV prasaad). The
lyrics and Music are from well known play-writer, composer, drama artist
kopparapu subbaaraavu. There may be many film songs with English words, esp.
in modern films, but the moment I completed reading the posting, this was the
song that came to my mind.
