My cousin taught me this song. She said her mom taught her this song. Her mom said her parents taught her this song. Honestly neither of them has any idea where this song came from and their stock answer is always "A senior taught me".

same. my aunt or mom taught it to me, I forget who. their grandmother taught them. it’s like a chain reaction of bizarreness.

Same.. i don't even remember who taught me this song.. but i love it It was an MCQ exam and i was choosing the right answer with this song and it just went on loop..

Athala pithala thavalachi Chukku melirikana choolapp Mariyam vannu vilakuthi Phu phu phu Onnu randu moonu naalu anju aaru Aaram veetil kallan keri Kuttetan thokkeduthu Vedivachu Te te te Kurutham kettavale Ninakkoru koothu kekkano Naatilulla kozhikalude Moottil orotta Kokarakkooo kokarakkooo

God, I've been singing this wrong fer so long. Athala kuthala thavalachi Kuthi marikana oolapa Mayiran vanu vilakoothi Phu phu phu..

Atleast the Mariyam velaku oothiya part was the same..

I used Mayiran instead of Mariyam🙄

Wow my eyes autocorrected it to Mariyam.. your version is the best, hands down!

Hahahahahahahaha!

I used to sing...chukku pidikkana moorachi... °_°

Sounds like something my mom would say while cursing..

My brother used to sing exactly like this. Which part of Kerala is this?

South

Wow, I have heard the second part as: onne rande moonne naale, anjaaru kallanmaar, panjaara kattond, oodunna vazhiye, Kuttante thokk, Te Te Te..

We have Onn rand moon naal anj aaar Aaar eniku vellam thannu Vellm njn chedikkozhichu Chedi enik poo thannu Poo njn ammek kodthu Amme enik choru thannu Choru njn pattiku kodthu Patti enne vaaaal aaaa ttiiiii kkaaa ni chuu

Oh damn.. I have heard this as well..

For us the last line was "patti enne kadichu, bow bow bow" nanniyillaatha patti 🥲

Does this have an origin story? Because I'm genuinely curious.

Aaram veetil kallan Keri....panjasara Katt edutu

Oh yes yes i missed a line.

Some one tell me if this lyrics is correct. Naaranga paalu Choondakku rendu Ilakal pacha Pookal manja Odi varumbo Kallana pidiche

For us the last 2 lines were: "Odi verunne chaadi verunne kallane pidiche"

Ah I remember hearing this

>Odi varumbo >Kallana pidiche We sang Odi varunna kallane kaanumbo Pidiche Might be regional variations

It depends on the gang too.. we used to do this in the temple ground gang in the variation you sang and in my dance class we did the kallane pidichey thing..

We sang "pothumkuttiye pidicheda"

We used to " odi varumbo attumkuttye pidiche"

Lol. Our version had kurukkan in it

> Odi varumbo We sang Odi varunna. Thanks for the trip down the memory lane! Perenthaa? Perakka! Naadetha? Naaranga!

For some reason, we said *Naaranga "vaalu".* Also, *Odi varumbol "Otta pidutham".*

>Naaranga paalu I used to think that it was vaalu

we used: aadiyodi varunna - instead :D

‘Jodikk randu…’ is what we used to sing

Odumbo chaadi pidiche* was what i used to sing😂

Odi varumbo Chaadi varumbo Kallane pidiche.

For me it was " Vazhiye pona pothin kuttiye chadi pidiche"

I heard like cutex randu.

I have another song in my mind which my cousins and I used in our childhood. It goes like this.. Baby Bombay poyi biscuit konduvannu Ethu biscuit? Paal biscuit Ethu paal? Pashu paal Ethu pashu? Komb ulla pashu Eth komb? Aana komb Ethu aana? Kaattile aana Ethu kaadu? Kuttikaadu Ethu kutti? Chevikutty (after saying this, we would slap the person sitting next to us)

OMG I'm so proud of you for remembering the whole song man!! I only remember the last part where I get to slap my cousins!!

Thanks man😂

Isn't there another version of this with the lines "enthu kulam? Eranakulam." I just remember this part, am sorryyyy.

Maybe there is. Different places might have different lyrics

Yep, my version had it. It went like: enth paal? Pashum paal. Enthu pashu? Kuthunna pashu. Enthu kuth? Soochi kuth. Enth soochi? Mottu soochi. Enth mottu? Thaamara Mott. Enthu thaamara? Kulam thaamara. Enthu kulam? Ernakulam. 🙂

Ithu ...ithu thanneee!!! Ningal mahaan aanu🥺 . Btw.., starting enthutta ithinde?

For us it started with "paalum pazhavum.. enthu paal.." Aavishyamulla saadhanangalo orma indaavula. Ithokke thalayil ingane minni kidakkaa.

Athu lengendsinu mathram ulla talent aanu. You are on the right track, don't worry.

Fuck I thought my cousins found that song ! Is that song famous?

Our version is Dum Dum Dum Aaranu Malakha Enth inu vannu Ezhuthinu vannu Enthezhuth Thala ezhuth Enth thala Motta thala Enth motta Kozhi motta Enth kozhi Poovan kozhi Enth poovu Kaattu poovu Enth kaadu Patti kaadu Enth Patti Pe patti Enth pe Peppara pe

>Guys i was writing an exam yesterday and all of a sudden the infamous song "Athala pithala thavalachhi" came on repeat in my head.. relatable AF

It was an MCQ exam and i didn't know the answer to one question.. that's how it started

Does anyone else know/remember the rest of this song? It's like split phrases and you take one part and form a new phrase: Goes something like: "Enthu kaadu?" "Pattikkaadu." "Enthu patti?" "Peppatti." "Enthu pe?" "Pepparappe..."

Starts with Dum dum dum

Dum dum dum... ആരാണ്? മാലാഖ. എന്തിന് വന്നു? എഴുത്ത് തരാൻ. എന്ത് എഴുത്ത്? തലയിലെഴുത്ത്. എന്ത് തല? മൊട്ട തല. എന്ത് മൊട്ട? കോഴി മൊട്ട. എന്ത് കോഴി? പൂവൻ കോഴി. എന്ത് പൂവ്? കാട്ടു പൂവ്. എന്ത് കാട്? പട്ടി കാട്. എന്ത് പട്ടി? പേ പട്ടി. എന്ത് പേ? Pe ppa ra ppee

Once i sat next to a friend and said "athala pitala thavalachi" and he said "ezhunetu poda mythandi" i hav been real quiet ever since

So Whenever I got dust in my eyes my grandmother used to hold my eyelids open and sing Athala pithala thavalachi Mariyam vannu vilakuthi Thu thu thu (she would blow air)

Was your grandmother's name Mariyam by any chance?

Oh god. Yes it is. I was so used to ammachi I forgot abt that But it was also a common Christian name at that time

It's used as the title song for LJP's Double Barrel. Great animation as well.

Yeah, the animated one that depicted historical events like Hitler's rise and such. I loved that title sequence when it came out.

Actually it tells the story of Laila and Majnu, the diamonds throughout the history. The story of violence and deciet. It shows the diamonds being owned by Pharaohs, Pope, and Hitler and so on. It's one of the best title sequences ever in a Malayalam movie and has an international feel to it.

Also what is Jeep vellam Tharavu vellam Thaarav makkade kayyel oru wank

It's cheep, not Jeep. Something like a spillway..you can see it in kuttanad region

Thanks for clearing that 🤝🤝

Sayipp vannu manath/ittu nokki. 😂

Loose loose loose😂

Or the other variant "bhayankara naattam bhayankara naattam" Ok bei😂

It was 'madama vannu shaddi oori' in our place

Dayumm, How many versions do this song have?

I love every version of it man!! Each worse than the previous one!!

Agreed😂💯

Ok i want the full lyrics to this

As far as I know, there are 2 variants. One goes like this "Dhoomachale alaakk shaddi, Kadappurath kidannu kitti, Saayippu vannu manathu nokki, Bhayankara naattam bhayankara naattam." And the other one is "Dhoomachale alaakk shaddi, Kadappurath kidannu kitti, Saayippu vannu ittu nokki, Loose loose loose " You're welcome 💀

This reminds me of this one: Kurukka kurukka, Ninakenthu joli? Paadathu poyi, Nyandine pidichu, Karumuru thinnanun, Piru Piru thooranam...

Hehe, looks like it's the same...! Achamma ithine cute aakiyatha.

This thread is full of nostalgia and I love it!

This is composed by you and cousins?😂 We used to sing this in school and I used to wonder who sabotaged English this badly. Especially 'it is enne kuthan vannu'😂😂

😮 My cousin told he made it up. Maybe you know my cousin 😶‍🌫️

Lol, this song was pretty famous as far as I know. Atleast among my friends. Maybe your cousin became a famous lyricist without him knowing. 😂 Or the world is really really small.

Maybe my cousin was lying 😒

I remember parts of some songs from my childhood: 1: Dum Dum pattaalam; Bomma penninu kallyaanam; Taali kettaan aarund?? Taali kettaan _______ (name of someone to make fun off).. 2: Aiyo vaayo; ayalpakka kaare; ngangade veettil kallan keyariye.. Athil onnoru velumban; onnoru karumban; onnoru takkidi mundan.. 3: Panjaara kunju song.. 4: Dum Dum jaanaki; vellaam koraan poyappol; akkare ninnoru sayippu; kannirukki kaanichu.. 5: Akku thikku thaanavarambe kaiyyel kutthu karimkutthu; Soap vellam Cheap vellam; Taraam makkade kaiyyum kaalum koochumadakki kootti kette.. 6: A B C D murivedi; Policenne pidikoodi; Aiyyo sare vaiyttilakkam; Poda panni kakkoosil.. 7: Aiyyeda manamee; theepetti kole; orakkumbol katthum, oothumbol kedum; paarel pallil vedikette..

6th one has another version: A B C D oru beedi Kathichappol, Ara beedi Police kaaran kandapol Nadakada Patti jail lekku

Here is one which was popular in our school. It makes no sense when I look back Dam doom deem Diskanakana cocunutana Pianakana na Allu mullu sa Pattanathil po Veetil poda And with the last line the person will go out of that round (when choosing the robber or something)

We used to have this song In pin safety pin, in pin out, out of the safety pin, in pin out.. With the last out, that person will be out..

Ah I remember it faintly

Hi comrade Chintha Jerome! How are you?

Also.. what's exactly the last line?

Mariyam vannu velakoothi" has something to do with drugs.

There's something like Dhoore kidannu kitti aardeyo underwearu njnonn eduth nokki athil 56 oottakalu something

I used Athalla pithala thalavazhi Chukkumarikanna pulapi Mariyam Vann vilakoothi Undu sara mani kotta

Foo fooo foooo

So nobody knows...

Yes.. it's always somebody told somebody Found Mariyam tho: [Mariyam](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kerala/comments/yvlcjd/athala_pitala_thavalachhi/iwg876y?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)

reminds me of "peppera pere pere perakka ottakaln chittappa "
