De De Pyar De - The Hit song of SHARAABI (1984) was taken from Runa Laila's SUPERUNA album which actually had a Bengali origin. (Did You Know - 41)

Dear Chris,
Thanks for your detailed comment and here are my answers for the same.
 
1. If in any case the song 'De De Pyar De' was 'inspired' from a Bengali song which S.D.Burman later used as 'Allah megh de' in 'Guide', then I would like to hear that song through any source or link and would be able to decide on the inspiration angle only after that. Because without any authentic source it is just like taking any info from Wikipedia which can be edited and re-edited by just anyone.

2. The second point is just as you mentioned that it all depends upon our personal preferences. Yes the Kishore Kumar version was the major HIT which you remember instantly. But since here we are disucussing about the FEMALE singers in particular, so it was mentioned that way only. 

3. Regarding this point firstly, the article does not make it as if RUNA LAILA is the COMPOSER of the song. Thats your conclusion. But the article actually is trying to say that it was Runa Laila's private album from which the song was actually taken.

Secondly, the article clearly mentions that the song is composed by Bappi Lahiri only and also written by Anjaan too.
But here I would like to explain yout the rules of the game here.

If a music composer or lyricist, composes or writes a song for any paricular person or project then he rightly takes his fees and sells that work to the person concerned. Now here after selling that work, they ethically cannot use the same song in any other project of theirs as they dont have the copyrright to do so.

But here the use of the song is SHARAABI can only be justiied if BAPPI DA has the rights of the complete album or this particular song with him and not RUNA LAILA. Now this is quite possible here since the album is presented by Bappi Da only.
So I have mentioned that now in the article as pointed by you. 

4. Lastly, I would like to add that the article actually came into existence when I read a recent interview of Runa Laila in FILMFARE magazine, in which she clearly said that it was she, who was first informed to sing the song by Bappi Da himself but later the plans got changed somehow and she still doesnt know what happened.

HIS BLESSINGS
 

After listening to the Bangla song in particular, there is no doubt that Bappi Da's "De De Pyar De" is infact a clear clone or version of this original song also adpated by S. D. Burman in "Guide".
So with thanks to your contribution I would surely add this in the article, which would surely be an intersting read for many like-minded friends.

Cheers!
HIS BLESSINGS
