Cheesy Songs From The '90s You Pretend Not To Love

There is no denying the awesomeness of '90s Bollywood music. There is absolutely no getting past the unabashed cheesiness of the lyrics of yore, the soul-stirring choreography and the absolute loveliness that were the clothes. You may not openly acknowledge that you love these songs, but really. Everyone who was alive and kicking during the '90s probably loves and reminisces about those golden days. These songs are more adorable than a new born panda, and you know you love them.

10. Meri Pant Bhi Sexy

Movie: Dulaara
Lyricist: Rani Malik, Yogesh

Ek hain anaar yahan
Kitne bimaar yahan
Ye dil main kis kis ko doon?
Har ek ladki mujhpe hain marti
Main sabke dil mein rahoon


KYUNKI!!


Meri pant bhi sexy
Meri shirt bhi sexy
Mere baal bhi sexy
Meri chal bhi sexy
Ye rumaal bhi sexy hai



Let's just say it like it is. Govinda's moves and expressions are as legendary as the lyrics itself. All hail this genius.

9. Angna Mein Baba Duare Pe Maa
Movie: Aankhen
Lyricist: Indeevar

Angna mein baba, duare pe maa
Kaise aaye gori hum tohre ghar maa?
Khet gaye baba, bazaar gayi maa
Akeli hoon ghar ma, tu aaja balma..
 
Do we really need to explain why this song is amazing? No? Okay.

8. Amma Dekh Tera Munda Bigda Jaaye

Movie: Stuntman
Lyricist: Sameer

Amma dekh aa dekh tera munda bigda jaaye
Bebe dekh aa dekh tera munda bigda jaaye
Iske chote baal kata de, isko
Hindi bol sikha de
TV-video bandh kara de, college ka rasta dikhla de
Disco mein jaana rukwa de, hotel mein khana rukwa de
Changi kudi koi dikhla de, jaldi se shaadi karwa de!




Before Eminem there was Bali Brahmbhatt. And before Tiger, there was Jackie Shroff. Yeah. That made no sense. Just like this earworm of a song.

7. Husn Hai Suhana

Movie: Coolie No 1
Lyricist: Sameer

Husn hai suhana, ishq hai deewana
Roop ka khazana, aaj hai lootana
Aake deewane mujhe seene se laga.. Na..na naaaaaa
Goriya chura na mera jiya..



That this awesomeness exists, is cause enough for celebration. If you haven't danced to this number, you've failed as a party animal.

6. Pak Chik Pak
Movie: Raja Babu
Lyricist: Sameer

Pak chik pak Raja babu
Chal gaya koi jaadu
Na raha dil pe kabu
Kya kar gayi haseena?




Michael Jackson, Govinda. Same difference. Almost.

5. Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast
Movie: Mohra
Lyricist: Viju Shah

Tu cheez badi hai mast mast, tu cheez badi hai mast
Nahin tujhko koi hosh hosh, uspar joban ka josh josh
Nahin tera koi dosh dosh madhosh hai tu har vakt vakt
Tu cheez badi hai mast mast



Nobody can make garish clothes look as good as Akshay Kumar and absolutely nobody can match Raveena's dancing skills. The woman is a magician.

4. Stop That!
Movie: Gambler
Lyricist: Vinay Dave

Main chahe ye karu, main chahe woh karu
Main chahe yahan jau, main chahe wahan jau
Gore ko main kahu kaala, Jeeja ko main bolu saala
Nadi ko main bolu naala, chaabi bina kholu taala.. meri marzi!!



Govinda plus Devang Patel? Epic win. Also, standing ovation for Govinda's wardrobe. One cannot get any classier than this.

3. Tan Tana tan Tan Tan Tara
Movie: Judwa
Lyricist: Dev Kohli

Tan tana tan tan tan tara
Chalti hai kya
9 se 12?
Khadi khadi kya soch rahi hai?
Chal ho jaye nau do gyarah




And that folks, is how you woo someone. Take down notes please.

2. Telephone Dhun Mein Hasne Wali
Movie: Hindustani
Lyricist: PK Mishra

Telephone dhunn mein hasne wali
Melborne machli machalne wali
Digital mein sur hai tarasha
Madonna hai ya Natasha
Zakir Hussain tabla tu hai kya?



Oh, the eloquence. Oh, the Victorian clothes. Oh, the catchy tune. Oh, Kamal Haasan and Manisha Koirala. Oh my God. Madonna herself couldn't have made this song any better.  

1. Kabhi na Kehna Kudiye Bye Bye Bye
Movie: Rock Dancer
Lyricist: Nawab Arzoo, Maya Govind, Deepak Sneh, Indeewar

You are my cheeeken phryy (chicken fry, for the uninitiated)
You are my fish phry
Kabhi na kehna kudiye bye bye bye

You are my samosa
You are my masala dosa
Main na kahungi mundiye bye bye bye..



They are talking about love while also talking about food. The word epic was created for this song. The robotic dancing helps too.

Bonus number: My Adorable Darling
Movie: Main Khiladi Tu Anadi
Lyricist: Zameer Kazmi

My adorable darling
I think of you every night, every morning
Tere bin main nahi jee sakta hoon
Oh my darling, I am your Prince Charming!



It's sung by Anu Malik. Enough said.

There are about a few hundred songs which also ought to be on this list, but ten is all we had space for. What's your favourite cheesy '90s number?
