Catchy lyrics, foot-tapping tunes, mean moves, raunchy themes, sexy sirens, and a shake or two with ‘tooh’ are the necessary ingredients to make an unforgettable ‘item song.’ Every commercial movie in B-town has learnt to use this spicy topping to attain that essential flavor of success. While there isn’t a doubt that these sexy, foot-thumping, booty-shaking dance numbers that make your jaw drop are a surefire way to keep the audiences riveted to their seats, this formula for success has deviated from its former bearings of being a provocative number reserved for sidekicks to one that can even have the leading lady of the movie gyrating to the song that has the audiences mouthing ‘crazy kiya re.’ Experimentation is the key to keep belting out hip-shaking numbers that the audiences identify as the new ‘IT’ thing to have ‘it’em!’ (you know the relationship between me and puns, right?) 😉 😛
Here are the top 10 Bollywood item songs of 2014 that hit the nail right on its head:

The ‘laila’ returned for some more with this extremely seductive dance number in Ragini MMS 2. The extremely foot-thumping music by Meet Bros. and Anjjan, the sensuous voice of Kanika Kapoor and the sexy Sunny Leone scorching the 70 mm screen with her bold and sexy avatar – there isn’t one reason this could have gone wrong!! 😉
It wouldn’t be too much if we said that this was probably the best item song of the year!

It wouldn’t feel right if Yo Yo weren’t on the list, right? A beach number that has Nicole Faria, Evelyn Sharma and other babes revving up the heat with their bikini-clad avatars while Yo Yo does what he does best, this number was an instant hit with the masses. This extremely catchy dance number from Yaariyan caught up with GenX like wildfire. I guess that holds for all of Honey’s songs, eh? 😉 Truly the guy who is a singing-swinging machine with an attitude of ‘love me or hate me, but you can’t ignore me,’ this man started the year with ‘music chala do, shuru karo party, ho gayi der!!’ 😉

One of the most intense numbers in the category, this one scores mainly for its compelling music, fine lyrics, and of course, Prachi Desai. The first ever item song by the ‘Rock On’ girl, this one had her looking extremely sensuous and seductive! Originally a composition by Soch for Nescafe basement, the ‘film’ version has been recreated by Soch and then sung by Adnan Dhool and Momina Mustehsan. The ‘Ek Villain’ song was one of the finest item songs on the B-scene this year and is a definite must-listen song!
