I need to make this post better - later when i have some time.
What is so special about Ilayaraj songs? One thing - people those days believed in huge systems. And spent their entire life mastering a system. IR, for example - Carnatic Music http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnatic_music Concepts: Sruti Swara Raga Tala Melakarta. And this - something like English Grammar - he applied so rigorously to - say folk - or the mass entertainment film songs. Is why we can't expect such a perfection from others easily.
"Maya Malava Gowlai" raga and "Madura marikozhundhu vasam". http://blog.karthiksankar.com/tag/raga/

From the net
samaja vara gamana--hindholam
idhazhil kadhai ezhuthum frm the film unnal mudiyum thambi--lalithaangi
ooru vitti orru vandhu (film is karagattakaaran)--shamnmugapriya
bho sambho siva shambo--revathi
malare mownama(film is karna)---dharbari kaanada (Vidhya Sagar)
This composing technique like a fish hook thrown into your memory is so hard to remove, no matter how many more decades you age through.
If there is another person i respect so highly like IR, it is Raveendran This guy can't do a song without a carnatic base ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCmsZbarARE
