Jab apun ki Bari ayegi by Azal is the best ever followed by cricket khaidye by faris shaft
In 90s having curtains haircut was in fashion. I'm a British born Londoner. I can confirm this. So the lahore hair dresser was spot on 😘
King Khan really reshaped Pakistan cricket canvas and doing the same in politics by breaking the monopoly of army n two parties of status quo
Guys s tier isn’t some Japanese thing. S stands for Strings. There are levels to this game and if you are at level of strings you’re S tier.
I thought "Baazi Paltay Gee Yahan" was one of the best PSL songs. So underrated
ua-cam.com/video/sv4P-iFxmqE/v-deo.htmlsi=Op_YPS-f76BeAK9X 1992 anthem for you
Excellent video! if you guys can do same format video on Pakistan's WC journey, from 92 till date..
Ali Zafar songs became "popular" because there was a Twitter push when every anthem dropped with comments like "no one can beat Ali Zafar" and then it became a thing. The Ali Zafar songs were never well received when they dropped. You can't make stadium anthem with Kishore Kumar lite.
My favorite Lahore Qalandars anthem trivia is that in Bol Qalandar, the first frame is shot in reverse (for no apparent reason). It is a bunch of people in a park, with a jogging track on all sides (the most Lahore thing ever), and the joggers are all jogging in reverse. I don't know why, but I love it.
Some Indian ones that get me going: Bar bar haan, bolo yaar haan. (Chale chalo from Lagaan) Chak de India from the film of the same name Talking about the worst songs. The 2011 world cup song sung by Shankar Mahadevan was the biggest disappointment ever.
abay tum logo ka pehla column nazar hi ni araha sirf khudi dekh rahay ho we need to see the names actually cuz of the boomer era songs of yours😂😭 We don't wanna read your comments cuz we're listening to em
Real fast boller . Still enjoy his videos
Would have loved to hear you rant for at least 10 minutes on Geo tu aise. Geo tu ese was the encapsulation of anything good that happens in Pakistan during the peak GEO era. Kuch bhi acha horaha hai Pakistan mai, uske peechay ye gana lagega aur Geem nachay ga
Usman, one thing we disagree on is strings man. Hai koi ham jesa is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! every single time it plays, its 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Squad announce howa hai aur yeh kya behuda episode upload Kiya hai
Guys what are you talking about?! Hai Koi Hum Jaisa has to be one of the all time greatest Pakistani anthems! That was literally the only good thing about the 03 World Cup And even the video too! 'Tum kya ho dunya ko bata dooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo... ' And Shoaib Akhtar running with the oooooooo I cant believe any millennial Pakistani burgers can hate the song or the video!
Do a show on PSL squads
Great episode! However, it’s a downright travesty that the legend Saleem Javed didn’t get a mention. This man blessed us with two gloriously cringe-worthy anthems for Imran and Javed in the 80s, and miraculously, they’ve survived the test of time (and copyright takedowns) on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/eRZe6NMaLrc/v-deo.htmlsi=5Kk9KitmT7Ph2wjC ua-cam.com/video/lUbB3BHg8MI/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Fun fact: After the ’92 World Cup win, the team went on a national tour, and someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided to release an audio album featuring these two masterpieces alongside the official WC theme song… on loop… for like 10 whole minutes. Because why celebrate victory once when you can do it until your ears bleed?
wow that JM song was so badass that Los Garcia copied the tune to make Ali Baba ❤
I would have the same analysis about Rizwan
The first Pakistani cricket song in my memory is Saleem Javed's " Cricket ki Dunya mein Sab se aagay hai wo Kon! JAVED MIANDAD" after his famous last ball 6 against India
I think this is the first time I have ever seen a MUSIC review podcast using Microsoft Excel to organize their ideas 🤣 Interesting times we live in
Why does Usman hate Strings so much? I thought he would be one of those who would vibe a lot to Strings' music!
Brian O Connell or Shehzad were the only bassists I knew who were famous in Pakistani pop.
Breaks my heart to listen to Osman's idiotic, though completely subjective, opinions on music.i have loved his writing over the years but this guy doesn't like Tu Hai Kahan and doesn't like Strings- PERIOD. Hates Ali Zafar and his songs which he has to by default lest they take his liberal card away...bet his most loved cricket song is a by a gender fluid blind singer who's in a wheelchair and is from a minority ethnic group
Another banger episode even tho yall missed a QG anthem made by youngstunners!
All PSL songs are so damn cringe. All the videos man ufff. Unintentionally funny af!
My favourites are - khel deewano ka by fawad khan, cricket khidaiye by Atif and Faris Shafi and agay dekh by Atif and Aima Baig … really classy ones all of them and as a musician I look at them as my reference points for any such project I work on!
Really good and fair assessment of Ali Zafar and his work!
Jazaba junoon is the best of all time!
Kaalu deewanay Bowling na jaanain 😂
Very click-baity title I must say... ghanta bhar PSL ki chakh chakh. Two songs that I was hoping you would bring up - "Phir Aya Aya Ye, World Cup, World Cup" by the man the myth the legend Saleem Javed. And "Hum Jeetain Ge" by Khalid Waheed - both from 1996.
Love the videos where you guys do cricket and extracurricular stuff even if cricket wasn’t involved love watching you guys talks about music, art etc
Ahmer bhai kal q del krdi thi video
Agree with Osman’s assessment of bass. Two good exponents of it imo were Brian O’Connell with Junoon and Ali Tim of Milestones
In 80s and 90s era, the biggest addition to test match bowling was reverse swing. Post 2010s, it's the wobble seam, more effective with the new ball and pitches with a bit of seam movement. Also, countries like NZ, Ind, Ban, even SL have developed great set of fast bowling stocks. These used to have one outlier bowler like Headley or Vaas or Srinath, now, they have got compete attacks. WTC means more result orriented pitches, these are the factors behind batting averages going down. Some are still doing great like Root, Jaiswal, Smith, Brook, Williamson averaging over 50. These are outliers, and are test batting greats or future greats.
Admittedly, I haven't listened to all the songs but my top three PSL songs would be: 1) Tayyar Hain 2) Khel Ke Ageh (Atif and Aima) 3) Khel Jamay Ga Ali just about makes my top three despite his annoying hate PR he did for the enjoyable Atif and Aima track
“Tu hai kahan” is the bestest cricket song ever. Nothing can beat it
Disco Deewane cover was by Benjamin Sisters. Bushra Ansari ‘ik chakkay ke Javed ko’ was a parody of Salma Agha not Malika Pukhraj
Yippeee!!!
10/10 content and I haven't even watched it yet.👍
aur bhai kaise ho
Finally re-upload kerdia
Waqar the hero of every kid
Clear audio wala podcast, re-uploaded 😂
It takes two people to replace Osman bhai for a BF 😉 but good choices imo. Agreed with them about the bowling profligacy against tailenders who have improved admittedly but when it's costing you matches then theres an issue with the bowling and captaincy to look at.
Most of BGT matches did not last more than 4 days, South African matches were all 3 days long and they are playing the final and no one complained that there was no battle between bay vs. ball. But since no one know how to play spin they are complaining about spin on first day
In Osman's book "TheUnquietOnes" he wrote that Misbah was fearing to come out to bat during the Sydney Test in 2010, Can we ask him more about this?
Yaar seriously why are you inviting halfwit bachche with idiotic opinions? Replacing Osman with these even for an episode is like replacing Enrico Caruso with Adnan Dhool, Jonny Greenwood with that guy who did the music for Madum Shamim Ara’s Hum to Chalay susral. Tutti tukre expressing themselves. I frequently don’t agree with either or both of you but I can respect it because it’s considered and has at least some impartial defensibility if not more. Their greater popularity only tells me their beneficiaries of unnaya di sultanat vich kaanay-e-da raaj but man.
Raptors have been one of the 5 most winning franchises in last 10 years. Just saying. Run the numbers lol
An excellent listen. An hour well spent unwinding. I always love the left-field analysis. Really makes you think. Thanks again!
