When something like onion or tomato or potato is trending we mostly assume that it is because of a price rise and people are hurting; sublimating their pain via meme humour. This time around, this was not the reason for this humble vegetable trending. This was yet another trend initiated by Zomato – like the ‘ghar jaisa khana’ trend or the restaurant name trend; about pyaaz.
This time they asked the tweeple to substitute ‘pyaar’ with ‘pyaaz’ in the lyrics of songs.
With this example of a song from Satte Pe Satta.
Remember this old Bappi Lahiri tune? This one works for when the trend is about expensive onions too.
With Nargis from the movie Shri 420.
I find onions to be a necessity in the kitchen, in life in general – so the whole thread was really just very relevant.
True onions are a necessity. This song from Lahu ke Do Rang sounds quite appropriate.
...Of tweaking a song and then using Google Translate so more people would understand it.
I love this song from Kati Patang – it is from that golden period of Hindi film music of the 70s – before the 80s happened
Forbidden from eating tubers and bulbs that grow below the ground, this was the Jain lament.
Or rather vegetable.
Onions are marvellous, but they are even more marvellous when there is someone to chop them up for you.
Every story about love is about a girl and a boy – almost.
This commentator didn’t just change the lyrics, they even found a suitable gif from Mughal E Azam to use
Or childhood onions?
De de pyaaz de pyaaz de pyaaz dede, Pal bhar k liye koi hume pyaaz krle jhuta hi sahi, Aaj fir tumpe pyaz Aya haiii…. So many songs with pyaar in them!
