10 Iconic “Item” Songs That Became Popular Even Though Their Films Tanked Majorly!
A time and tested tradition from Bollywood of yore continues to thrive to this day. Popularised by the likes of Helen, there always used to be this one particular song in the original soundtrack of films that was all about that dhinchak fun! Traditionally only the vamps were supposed to feature in these, because the bad woman-good woman dichotomy was strong back in the day, but nowadays even the "good girls" like Kareena and Deepika do these fun numbers.
These songs, widely known as “item” songs — a controversial and rather misogynistic term in itself — make their way into most populist films.

Dance
C'mon c'mon
Dance
D d da.. dance.
Ni gori tera thumka
bada kinky kinky type da
Ni gori tera jhumka
bada funky funky type da
Kateeli teri ankhiyaan
Jaise nok nukeeli knife da
Ni gori tera nakhra
Bada hanky-panky type da
Oh girl your dance move
Is quite a kinky type..
Oh beautiful girl your earring
Is quite a funky one..
Your sharp eyes are like
The sharp point of some knife.
Oh girl your attitude
Is quite of a hanky-panky type..
Kisi hit gaane pe jo
Kamar matka degi tu
Fateechar se ye dil ban jayega shehzaada
Oonchi waali heel pehen kar
Dance Basanti..
Da da da dance Basanti
Ho.. har limit ki height pe chadh kar
Dance Basanti
Da da da dance Basanti (c'mon c'mon)
Da da da dance Basanti
If you move your waist
To some hit song,
This heart will become a prince from a pauper..
With the high heels,
Dance basanti..
Get onto the height of every lim
