"Savita Bhabhi" lyrics

Straight forward si baat,
Jab bhi laundon ki jamaat
Sharam aur sperm ki baatein,
Saari saari raat
Ladka ek dum ordinary,
Simply looking for a naari
But sorry! And yeh bas
Opinion hai meri… ke yeh

Ke ye koshish bekaar!
Bekaar bina car!
Hai jo car and money,
They help get honey beta
Dhan-dhan Gopal,
Nehin galni teri daal
Yehan ka tu native –
Society conservative!

Aise in halaat mein
Majboori ke saath mein
Best to go online...
Leke apne haath mein

Jismani pyaar ki chhabi - Savita Bhabhi!
Savita Bhabhi-Bhabi! Oh-oh-oh!
Tere dimaag pe haavi - Savita Bhabhi!
Savita Bhabhi-Bhabi! Oh-oh-oh!

Isko kaun padhta?
Padhke kiska chadhta?
Chadhke jo ragadta hai -
Jab uska jhadta!
Woh pal guldasta.
Happiness sasta.
Recession ke mausam mein
Koi to hansta!!

Isko kaun padhta?
Padhke kiska chadhta?
Chadhke jo ragadta hai -
Jab uska jhadta!
Woh pal guldasta.
Happiness sasta.
Recession ke mausam mein
Koi to hansta!!

Aise maamlaat mein
Computer ke saamne
Don't be all night
Dard hoga baad mein!!!

Jismani pyaar ki chhabi - Savita Bhabhi!
Savita Bhabhi-Bhabi! Oh-oh-oh!
Tere dimaag pe haavi - Savita Bhabhi!
Savita Bhabhi-Bhabi! Oh-oh-oh!

"Savita Bhabhi" single to be released on Wednesday

We hereby announce the release of "Savita Bhabhi," our first single, on the 29th (Wednesday) of this month. The song will be available for free download and streaming at most music-related websites on the 29th. For those who don't believe in downloading, we are coming up with a limited edition "Savita Bhabhi" single CD. We will be distributing copies of it during our upcoming live performances (for FREE!).

On the same night, in what we would like to call our official "launch" function, we will be performing the song (along with a few others) at Daddy's Windsong Wednesdays at il Terrazzo del Italia near Mocha at Juhu Chowpatty. If you turn up at the gig, not only would you catch us performing the song live for the first time, you can win all-expenses-paid membership passes to maternity clinics in shady government hospitals in Bhubaneshwar, Thiruvananthapuram, Pune, and Kolkata* (along with non-refundable one-way bus tickets).

Why Savita Bhabhi? Why not? We think it's fun to write a song about such a cool website. It's a shame such web-niceties are banned. We have our right to freedom of expression, don't we? There are more surprises on the road leading up to the 29th and we can't wait to announce them. But I know you guys CAN wait. Besides, it will be a wonderful exercise for you to keep track of what we are up to on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc.

(*These are the amazing cities where the band members were born.)

Shor tweets are here to stay

Shor Bazaar has decided to shed its taciturnity. Yes, we have recently gotten real and have started tweeting -- that too, like an overweight kiwi. If you too are fond of tweeting, please follow us at Shor Bazaar Twitter page.

If you ain't much of an ornithophile, you really ain't that old and still could become one. At Twitter.com. Then go visit our Twitter page.

Or else, you could just use ole' fashioned FaceBook to keep up with us. Go visit our FB fan page and FB user group.

However, if you figure that blogs kill everything else, just stick around where you are -- at the Shor Bazaar blog.

Or you could unfurl your best Johnny Bravo imitation and call our moms and ask 'Whazzup hot momma?'

Choose wisely. Just take care not to miss out!

And we need you. Quite desperately. So...

(PS: We don't hang out too much on Orkut. But if you want us to, we're game.)

The first single

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your kind patience. The wait is finally over!

Our first single is days away from being released online! The date is tentatively fixed for the 29th of July. What's more, we will be doing a couple of mini-launch shows in Mumbai to promote the single. Hopefully, you will be hearing us perform it on radio as well!

Now, we need your help. We want to know where you would want to download/stream the single from. Write back to us here, there, and everywhere!

We all believe in freedom of expression, don't we? Support the freedom of media by supporting us!

(PS: If you are wondering what the song's about, you will have to wait a few more days! All I can say now is that it's about something really hot which has been all over the newspapers recently.

A tour?

You know, sitting on our bums doesn't feel all that great. With monsoons flooding the roads and railway tracks in Mumbai, we are contemplating going to drier places. Like a desert or something. Maybe even performing there. Yeah, it's been a while since we did that.

Coming to the point, Shor Bazaar wants to know if there are gig-places which would like to host some ballsy music. So, if you know of any venue in your city where you think we can perform, just drop us an e-mail or something. If things work out, we promise to make sure that those who help us will get some benefits.*

What say ye?

3 down, none to go?

Yesterday, Shor Bazaar was back in the studio for another session. This time around we recorded with Jai Row Kavi. We tracked two more songs. Needless to mention it, Chinmay Harshe (Empire Studios) and Jai together form an amazing duo - It was simply awesome!

What this means is that the tracking of the EP is almost done. We are not yet decided if we want to track one more! We are planning to get it mixed asap and get it out to you guys.

Until then, here are some photos from the session. Watch out for those songs on MySpace soon!
