Kishore Kumar is my favorite playback singer of all time. I love his deep baritone, his distinctive yodeling, and the way he trills his r's. He was also a talented comedic actor, even if he loathed acting. Being one of the few singer/actors in Bollywood, it's always fun to watch Kishore picturized on himself.

Mere Bhole Bhalam from Padosan is my favorite of all his songs picturized on himself. I love his bizarre drama troop leader character anyway, but the way he moves so deliberately in this track is especially fun to watch.

Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi is another classic. The song takes place right as Madhubala has brought her car to Kishore's garage. It's the middle of the night and pouring rain. She's kind of nervous and Kishore is taking full advantage of the situation by playing with her! (And playing various automotive tools as instruments.)

Aake Seedhi Lagi from Half Ticket features Kishore and Pran dancing to a duet sung by Kishore and Kishore! Hilarious! The story according to the peanut gallery in the youtube comments is that Asha Bhosle was out of town so Kishore just decided to record both parts himself.

Of course, I love Kishore picturized on other people, too. He works well with Amitabh Bachchan, of course. I always though M. Rafi was a better fit for Rishi Kapoor, though.

Here's Kishore picturized on Dev Anand in Jewel Thief in one of my favorite Kishore tracks - Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechara. I love the yodeling!

And here is Kishore picturized on that old cradle-robber Rajesh Khanna in another excellent yodeling/travel song Mere Sapnon Ki Rani from Aradhana
