About this listen
In this episode, Suchitra unpacks the wild relationship between lyrics and music — where they come from, why they matter, and how they hijack our brains.
She travels from ancient Greek lyres to Kabir, The Beatles, Guru Dutt, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Honey Singh, and the entire roller-coaster that is Bollywood’s lyrical history. Expect spicy commentary on hyper-sexualized tracks, poetic gems, accidental comedy, earworms you can’t delete, and the psychology behind why “controversial” lyrics somehow keep topping charts.
And then comes the finale — mondegreens. Misheard lyrics, hilarious mess-ups, and the strange science of why our ears betray us every time.
It’s witty, it’s honest, it’s fully Suchitra-coded. If you’ve ever wondered why some songs move you while others make you question humanity, this episode is your jam.
