Years back, when Shammi Kapoor was called to a function at Mumbai, when Yahoo team came to India, he was surprised to hear his song ‘Yahoo… Chahe mujhe koi jungle kahe’ was played there. It was also rumoured that the website Yahoo derived its name from the hit title track of Junglee of 1961. It may not be true or not, but this song composed by Shankar Jaikishan was enough to place Shammi Kapoor among the most sought romantic heroes of 1960’s. Through this column I would like to mention a few more land mark Shankar Jaikishen compositions, they have done to give tunes to the title track of the movies.
