Pogum Vazhi Ellam Kattru is a near total duplication of the background score of the 1965 Oscar moive TOM JONES

  This was a discovery in serendipity. What I considerm, even now, one of the finest songs ever, Pogum Vazhi Ellam Kattru in Ratchagan is a direct inspiration of a theme in the movie Tom Jones, which won the Oscar for the Best Music in 1965. ARR has shown that theme in the piano beginning of the song.
  
  Are there any other songs for which ARR has derived inspiration from elsewhere? Now, I am wondering if the other awesome song "Kanava Illai Kattra" is also an 'total inspiration'.
  
  Look at Bombay, Madras, Delhi which is total rework of the children's song Old McDonald had a farm, etc. I am not talking of such kind of inspiration. Here, I think ARR has shown amazing ingenuity. Just as IR took inspiration of Kadal Vandirichu (Kalyaraman) and made a totally fasincating composition.

  The song is a total inspiration from Tom Jones theme music, 1965. The movie won the Best Music Oscar. The song, however, continues to remain in my analysis one of the finest presentations in Indian film music.
  
  Are they any other songs for ARR's that is a toal inspiration?

  In my night dreams is a famous french album, a belgium composer, richard ani has composed, when
  u hear the drum beats of o baby baby, of kadhaluku mariyadhai, it will be very clear that
  both goes at the same track, but the song was
  succesfull.

  kans,
  WHere in the drum beats hardly were the breath of the song, besided yeilding to the fact that drum beats which are as common as the ones in KM are not a copyright.It doesn't mean that IR has been inspired, in which case an expert in carnatic and western classical music is drawing inspiration from a pop album!! Ridiculous and totally illogical.Please put up the relevant clips and prove what you are saying.
  
  Do not to post irrelevant posting in an irrelevant thread . Please also post such posting in the thread COpying in TFM HIstory.
