Yaad Aa Raha Hai: Another great song from the film Disco Dancer, the song was more or less a party song. Unlike Disco Dancer, this song was not so peppy and had the typical disco genre sync with it, it was more of a dramatic song which can still be considered as a pop song (Photo Credits: Youtube)

Ooh La La: Safe to say the song is Bappi Da's dirtiest ever song in his career. The song featuring Vidya Balan is infamous for its lyrics and picturisation. Nonetheless, the song was a huge hit as people found the song funny and seductive at the same time (Photo Credits: Facebook)
