The following song has two unique features. The singer Ram Apate makes animal sounds, e.g. monkey. And we hear dialog spoken by Eddie Billimoria! We have seen him in both BW and color films, but he rarely speaks. So if somebody wants to know how this famous character actor sounds like, send them here!

I had suspected but had not known for sure that Times of Indiai newspaper has been digitized. I am happy to report that the archives going back to 1838 and to the current issue are available in many academic libraries. It seems that one does not even need to be associated with a university to access them. I found out about it late Saturday night  and did not get much time. But I managed to get this.
