We know of Telugu Cinema music directors copying foreign songs and remixing them to create some new "original" music and they become super hits. After we realize that it is a copy of something else we stop admiring the song and the music director. Here is one other song we found similar to many other songs. The song is Gala Gala from Pokiri by Mani Sharma. This copy is different from other copy songs in one way. It is a remix of a song from Super Star Krishna's Gowri which was released in 1974, music by Satyam and SP Balasubramanyam sang the song.
You might thinking, where is the copy in this? this is just a re-mix of Mahesh's father's song. Here comes the interesting part. The song from Gowri is a copy of a song called Listen to the Falling Rain by Jose Feliciano. This song was released in 1939 which is an English language nursery rhyme.

A nursery rhyme from the 1930's to a romantic song in 2000's . True to the fun made on music directors in Telugu cinema comedy, the trend has started 2 generations earlier.

Listen to Falling Rain - 1939 - Jose Feliciano
Gala Gala - 1974 - SP Balasubramayam (Movie: Gowri, Music: Satyam)
Gala Gala - 2006 - (Movie: Pokiri, Music: Mani Sharma)
