The above speech unearths the truth that music can attract the attention of audience, enthral and enslave them. Indeed the pair of Viswanathan and Ramamurthy ruled the roost of music in the Tamil Film Industry for five decades that made Manbumigu Amma to deliver her immortal and thought provoking and realistic speech which contain more wisdom to analyse and ponder over than mere applause about MSV and TKR. Need and Justification of the Present Study: Music is undoubtedly a natural combination ever since the sound effect was first introduced along with moving objects. It is a fact that the right song at the right moment will certainly boost the impact of the movie. It is also a fact that certain films attained success because of its excellent lyrics and mellifluous music. Be that as may, the various scholarly research conducted by the American Academy of Paediatrics denotes that adverse effects created by rap music. Lyrics of some music genres, such as rock, heavy metal, rap, new and emerging genres such as reggaeton, were found to embrace topics such as sexual promiscuity, death, homicide, suicide, and substance abuse. The listener of such music gets panic and it is emphasized that creating an habit of listening such music continuously would alter their character, and they go wild to the extent of committing crimes in the society. The songs that are intended to gratify the sense of momentary pleasure had become anti-sensual and create damage to the morals of innocent children who should otherwise be tamed to practise virtue as envisaged in every culture to contribute to the growth of the society, indeed a very sorry state that witnesses the world. Given the above adverse results the American Academy of Paediatrics’ also made the various recommendations to tide over the situation - for the benefit of the readers few of the recommendations are reproduced verbatim below as they areintended for the betterment of the society: (24) • Pediatricians should become familiar with the role of music in the lives of children and adolescents and identify music preferences of their patients as clues to emotional conflict or problems. • They should explore with patients and their parents what types of music they listen to and music videos they watch and under which circumstances they consume these media. • Pediatricians should encourage parents to take an active role in monitoring the type of music to which their children and adolescents are exposed and to be aware of the music they subscribe. • Pediatricians should encourage parents and caregivers to become media literate. • Pediatricians should sponsor and participate in local and national coalitions to discuss the effects of music on children and adolescents to make the public and parents aware of sexually explicit, drug oriented, or violent lyrics on CDs and cassettes, in music videos, on the Internet, and in emerging technologies. • Performers should serve as positive role models for children and teenagers. The music-video industry should produce videos with more positive themes about relationships, racial harmony, drug avoidance, nonviolent conflict resolution, sexual abstinence, pregnancy prevention, and avoidance of promiscuity. Unlike the above scenario the songs identified in this research work throw light on the ideas of equity and social justice that show the extraordinary commitment made by Bharat Ratna Dr. Maruthur Gopala Menon Ramachandran who had also appealed to Bakiyaraj (film director and producer), Bharathi Raja (film director and producer) Rajinikanth and Kamalahasan (famous actors who has huge fan followers) that they should also propagate message through their story and songs to integrate the nation and the people (25). Deterioration in the quality of Tamil film songs as held by Kaviarasu Kannadasan: Peer and eminent personality like the great Kaviarasu Kannadasan who wrote thousands of meaningful songs with philosophical import expressed concern over deteriorating music including contents of the lyrics. “Knowingly or unknowingly the quality of music is deteriorating excepting, Carnatic Music all other forms of music are losing its grammar” exclaimed Kannadasan. It starts somewhere and ends at no mans land and we were bound to listen to such music. The contents of the lyrics are inferior below par even to the ordinary prose. The situation was not that bad fifteen years ago, wherein good poetries were converted to lyrics of cine songs. Acknowledging the laudable services rendered by legendary music director KV Mahadevan, who took in to consideration the lyrics written by him using classical (sangam) Tamil words Kannadasan exclaimed that it is because of the introduction of cabaret songs in Tamil Cinema, the situation had worsened. Unlike, the folk village songs composed by KV Mahadevan and MS Viswanathan which were admired by millions Kannadasan opined that these musicians knew the nuances of folk village songs, with their deep rooted devotion they gave life to lyrics. Indeed those days were golden days wherein thousands of hispoems were turned to lively lyrics to the songs of popular Tamil movies (26).
