Sutta Na Mila, By Zeast Options

****WARNING****EXPLICIT LYRICS****
*** PARENTAL ADVISORY FOR MINORS****


Guys,
I just came across this track and really I thought it was bit innovative and worth mentioning here. A very simple composition but its vulgur lyrics adds a lil' raunchy flavor to it. I would'nt dare to post a link here but feel free to google it and enjoy. It was made totally just for fun but the track took off over the internet with blazing speed and so is Zeest, an underground Pakistani band. Here is an interview I found by an Indian magazine.



No sutta without fire

Zeest: the B C Sutta band
B%*&^%! sutta, sutta na mila… a hummable song with some unmentionable lyrics. It might not top any music charts, but it is definitely on the top of everyone’s mind.

Composed and written by Zeest (an underground Pakistani band made up of founder, composer, guitarist, lyricist and lead vocalist Skip, manager and supporting vocalist Abeer and Anas, Aneel and Raheel on conga, tabla, and drums.

The B C Sutta song is all the rage in Mumbai right now. And not only in our city.

As far as numbers go, the Sutta song has had 7,600 downloads in 21 days several months back. Like a cigarette passed from one tobacco-stained hand to another, the Sutta song has been covertly sneaked across the borders, download networks and bypassed moral censors to become the anthem for “all smokers and dopers.” Through a fan forum, we got hold of the band to talk about the song they have dedicated all the losers in this world.

How did the Sutta song come about?
Skip: I guess the real creator of the B C Sutta phrase is my dad, Abdullah Bhai. In the good old college days, I remember bunking classes and smoking with my friends all night long. When my father came to know what I had been upto he’d often say, “B%*&^%! sutta peeta hai inn lafungo kay saath. (read lyrics)”

I created this satirical, comical, slang song just for fun, but I always wanted to compose a song that could reflect my life story and that of other optimistic losers too. The song is so popular only because every average “tapori bachcha” can relate to it.

What does your song stand for?
Skip: Basically the philosophy of this song for us is not only the love of sutta (a smoke) but also a song dedicated to all the aims that haven’t been fulfilled and all the things in the world that have gone against our will.

The lyrics of your song are both defiant and rebellious, yet the B C word is not really meant as an expletive in our everyday language. How important do you think bad words are in our day-to-day language? Why?
Skip: B C Sutta has brought about a revolution among the younger generation. The West is very open, they show whatever they do in their social and street life, they use bad words in their movies, novels, songs etc. But we Indo-Pakis are too afraid to portray our real culture and ourselves in front of the world. Well bad words are part of every society. The F-word can be found in the new Oxford Dictionary and even swear words like BC and MC are seen in books like Ferozsons Urdu dictionary. These words are an important part of our language and literature. If we don’t use them, who will?

What is the other stuff you guys are working on?
Skip: Currently, we are working on the video of B C Sutta. There are some other songs up our sleeves, which will be released very soon. Basically the focus of every composition of Zeest emphasizes on social and youth issues that have been neglected so far. Seeing that we are a band without proper instruments, infrastructure, sponsors, media support, not even a fan in our jam room, we have come a long way.

Have you got into trouble for the song and its words? Getting any hate mail?
Abeer: The biggest problem we are facing is that our media won’t allow us to play our song on any of the channel currently operating in India and Pakistan. While other songs by Eminem, 50 Cents, Korn, Nelly, R-Kelly, Marilyn Mansons etc. that use highly explicit language all get played. Yes, we receive lot of criticism on our songs through blogs, comments and messages.

Somebody commented that Zeest is exploiting the minds of young kids. Another enthusiast wrote that songs like B C Sutta are easy to compose and provided some six-seven different steps to do it. But we took it positively. And we are very thankful to our loyal fans and lovers that on our own behalf they reply to this hate mail.

Any plans of coming to Mumbai or India?
Abeer: Yes, we would love to come to India and specially Mumbai because we have a huge number of fans there. It’d be an honour to perform in front of such a loving and responsive crowd because the Indians have understood our music better than anyone else in the world.

Lyrics of B C Sutta by Zeest

Doston mein baitha main sutta pi raha
Abba ne mujhe sutta peete dekh liya
Ghar jab pahuncha to danda ho gaya
BC sutta, sutta na mila.
College mein gaya mujhe pyar ho gaya,
Usne bhi mujhse mera sutta cheen liya
Sadkon pe ghooma main tanha reh gaya
BC sutta, sutta na mila.

[kaash]

^^^we got ourselves some curious cats..I'll see what I can do about the link.

Frozen: Gaali's aren't cultural taboo's....rather frowned upon but still used in daily life. Neways I'm glad that you found it funny so did I.


I found one more article about them.




Smoking is a vice. But like all vices, everyone is tempted to try it. But what happens when an obscure band comes up with a song about not getting the chance to smoke? Vaibhav Wankhede takes a look at the song which will hook you at first listen.

Zeest, a Pakistani band, which many of you have not even heard of has a song called "Sutta na mila." They say there's no smoke without fire. But the song is spreading like wildfire and is quite a rage in campuses esp. hostels all across India. If you haven't heard it, curse yourself and search for the song. If you have heard it, I bet you are still humming it. The song "Sutta na mila" is dedicated to all smokers and dopers. It speaks about the journey in a guy's life when his dad catches him smoking with his friends. And then, when he goes to college his girlfriend asks him to give up smoking. Frustrated he roams the streets before getting married, but there too he misses his cancer stick. Sutta means cigarette in tapori Hindi.

The USP of the song has to be its catchy "B*d sutta na mila" chorus and the end part which has a liberal sprinkling of "Bh***d Ma***d". Definitely worth listening to... again and again! Just don’t take it too seriously!






peace
Kaash

would you play this out loud cruising through Devon? I dare you haha... make those guju aunties show you the finger.

[vitalsignsguy]

Plain rip off from Ali Hamza's BC, I cant believe no one pointed that out yet ..............
The only difference is that while Ali Hamza's song was full of creativity and had a deeper meaning to it, this song has profanity for the sake of profanity, there is nothing I hate more than some lame so-called UNDERGROUND band ripping off an other artist and then claiming how different their music is.....

[kaash]

Ali Hamza BC^^^^ok so there is one more BC song. I've gotta find out.

Rooq: I know that'd be crazy dude y don't you try first & lemme know how was the response? Neways has it been your anthem lately?

[hypertensive]

^ love the siggy,, THE Sultan, of course!

i wanna hear both songs too, .someone wanna fill me in?

[kaash]

Thankx fifty.^^^
I'll send you the link for the Zeast song...I've no idea about the other song..never heard it b4 .

[roOq]

nahi karo! tum ne hamza ka bc nahi suna

[vitalsignsguy]

the org BC song was by Ali Hamza, which he sang before officially joining Noori...

He performed the song live and unplugged among his friends at LUMS, someone ended up recording it and publishing it over the net, in no time the song gained a cult following
I may have the song on one of my cds, ill see if i can post it somewhere.

[Sahil]

A cult for the BC song, VSG??

[vitalsignsguy]

lol maybe I should have said a "cult like following"


i dono man i liked the song (despite the BC )
