Munni Badnaam Hui (Dabang-2010) Cover by Alka and Rahul

Munni Badnaam Hui (Dabang-2... Lyrics & Chords

Dear Friends,

Off-late have been very busy but finally after a few weeks, I got some time and finished this song. Its one of the biggest hit of 2010 for many reasons:) This song was always on my cards but was having a tough time finding a female voice suiting this number. BAM, Sarmi came to my rescue, not for singing:) but she suggested me to approach Alka:) and my there my search was over:)

Alka is from Dominican Republic and sings hindi songs because she loves them. I have heard her before on a different stage and was damn sure that she would be the apt fit for this song. She readily obliged my request and we finished this song in no time and Alka has done a stupendous job with it. Such ITEM-songs are not at all easy to cover especially when you are singing in an alien language. But she did it brilliantly and here we present this racy song from the super-hit movie Dabang starring Salman Khan aka Chulbul Pandey and Mallaika Arora Khan aka Munni:) Alka’s diction needs special mention as some of the words were tough for her but she managed them brilliantly.

Mixing this song was very much fun as there are loads of effects in the original with chorus and I had incorporated all of them to the best of my ability. Hope you guys like it.

Please give an ear to our Munni:) at your convenience and as usual we will appreciate any kinds of pointers/feedback/likes/favs and more importantly encouraging remarks:)

AJ— in Muziboo after a long time, and was quite enthusiastic about listening to this :) Reason is I sang this in a show recently, and though not the best song, was fun nonetheless!

Alka— Welcome to Muziboo! Nice attitude, and voice suits the song…

AJ—Very enthusiastic, but you were a tad flat and sharp at places, but I am sure you are working on it. Just a note for future renditions.

Overall, very enjoyable!

Cheers,
Meera
