Copying is an inherited trait of Asians [ I ain't bold to pin point .. Mera Bharat Mahan ]. From bikes,Cellphones to bikes , we feel proud to knock it off and brand it as our Desi Version. Few elite people from India definitely feel proud copying stuff. Coming first in the list of Mr.Knock Offs is Mr.Deva a.k.a Isai Puyal ...
U.S.P -> Knocks off only Chart Busters of Western Music World. In an interview he proudly said that he has been protecting the Tamizh crowd from alien music by indianizing them.
U.S.P number 2 -> Suggests the same lyrics and Outdoor Settings for the knock off. Few years he tried to translate the Rock anthem ' We will .. We Will rock you ' to Tamizh . Unfortunately, the translated version was found to be sleazy and lyrics had lot of double meanings in it. Mr. S.J. Surya was called for the group discussion and he agreed to latch on to the project.
Future projects : Few weeks ago,Deva happened to meet Elton John and George Micheals in a famous pub @ Amsterdam for a serious discussion. Deva found Mr. Elton John's speech highly penetrative and agreed to work with him. This mind storming event was briefly stopped following a commotion in the pub. Sources say that a monstrous hairy creature happened to enter the pub and Bouncers were forced to check the creature's identity. As the pub's rules stated , Customer's pets are allowed if and only if it weighed less than 100 kilos ... Later it was found that the monstrous creature was none other than Mr. Srikanth Deva ...
-> Victoria Beckham a.k.a Posh Beckham happens to be Deva's biggest fan and she has promised to do a song for him. Starring this song's Video is Vijay and .. missing info ... Vijay has agreed to do this Video for free if only he is allowed to remake the movie 'Bend it like Beckham' in Tamizh ...
For people who are eager to immerse in Mr.Deva's Torrents of Knock Offs !! Here are few that we have found .. (Thanks to ITWOFS .. Salaam )
-> I love you [Film: Citizen]
Copied from Sasha's 'I feel lonely'
->Hey keechu kiliye [Film: Mugavari]
Ripped off from Dr Alban's 'Enemies' track.
-> The one I discovered !!! ( YES .. It was me )
Raghuvaran's Background music [Film: Baadhash] [Even in Thalai var's movie cha ]
Ripped off from Age of innocence from Enigma
Poo virinjaachu [Film: Mugavari]
Lifted from the song 'That thing you do' from the OST of the film with the same name!
Akila Akila [Film: Nerukku Ner]
From Bob Marley's Buffalo Soldier!
Thilothama [Film: Aasai]
Partially inspired from Ofra Azha's 'Galbi'
[For a Change] partially inspired !!!
Thudikindra kaadhal...evar kandaar [Film: Nerukku Ner]
Partially inspired from Ofra Azha's 'Im nin alu'
Oh sona [Film: Vaalee]
Inspired from 2 sources! Almost the entire song is inspired by the classic 'Suzanna' by The Art Company. The second interlude is a direct lift of Francis Lai's theme music for the movie 'Love Story' (also sung by Andy William's as 'Where do I begin').
One of the all-time classic lifts of Deva. A very beautiful job indeed! Fits so well in Tamil!
We wish him all the very best for his future endeavors !!!
I am trying to cease listening to English , Spanish , Turkish , Japanese and a distant language spoken by pigs and cross of lobsters and fire crabs .. Mr.Deva's all time remiz is on the way
Cheers
Raznok !!

Hey!!! I remember one famous copy da... The irony was that the song En Anbae was copied from Salomiya song. Both have the same music and same beats and in fact, the music of both songs was by Deva. Avan paataye copy adikra singa thamizhan Deva.
P.S. Seri pa... Panakkaran... Gather panra pa..
Samba I agree they are copying.. But the tracks they are copying are very nice.. And there are many people who do not have the chance to hear these tracks in english. So these shameless idiots copy these good tracks and make our tamil people hear the tune... So there are many benifits by copying.
