Tan dole mera mann Dole is an Old Hindi movie Classic from the movie Nagin (1956) . The main melody of the song was played on a Snake Charmers flute also known as "Been" in Hindi. The melody is popular among South Asians, due to its association with Snakes & Charmers and its regular usage in Bollywood movies.
Naagin (rock version) was composed by Ripple when he was in the 11th Standard. He played this song with various other bands as a Guest Guitarist. That time no one was really serious about playing a Hindi Classic Melody in a metal band because of its association with Hindi/Bollywood music.
In 2005 Ripple joined Decibel, soon after joining "The Naagin" was re-phrased, with change in Drums, change in Rhythm structure & Basslines. Vijay(Ex-Vocalist) named it "Naagin the Lady Cobra".
Point to be noted: double 'a' in Naagin is a tribute to Ekta kapur and "The Lady Cobra" part is tribute to Hindi movie Titles like:-
Daag: the Fire
Lahoo the Blood
Billi - The Wild Cat
Hot Mashooka - A Dangerous Lover
Kamjori - The Weakness
Bullet - The Dhamaka Etc.
:D
The song was video recorded by Shashanka (Karthik's Elder Bro) @ their Jam Session and was later uploaded on Youtube to share it among their friends. To our surprise the video was a hit. It got 1k hits per month and within 10 months it reached 12000 hits and today it stands almost 38,000 views. Total of Naagin video views on Youtube stands almost 1 Lakh.
Decibel's Channel [v] Launchpad performance made the song an underground success. This lead to making of Naagin - The Lady Cobra and Naagin Bhaag 2. Naagin the lady Cobra is 2:47 track home recorded and Naagin Bhaag 2 is 3:31 Studio Song with new Bass lines, 2 melodies & better Drums. Naagin Bhaag 2 is an Album special which would be available with Decibel's Debut Album scheduled to be released by summer of 2008 alongwith Official Tablatures of All Decibel songs.

do u guyz have any drum tabs or sumthing on da net
great song, I liked the song very much and ur lead rocks nicely played. I have observed many great metal songs were once a popular folk song in west, this experimentation with old song can actually bring out some great cover of classics in metal.
you guys rock!!!
(*respect \m/)
u guys rock man...love Naagin...and its great to have heard naagin part 2 too...
come on with the tab please
guys.. stop asking for tabs.. the answer is always gonna be no. Respect the privacy man.
Anyways.. what can I say about decibel, everyone who noes me knows Decibel too :) They are too good, got the feel and yea, they are awsome! Karthik's bass line, Ripple's guitaring, Krishnan's mind blowing drumming= the greatest upcomin bands of all times
