Guwahati, Feb. 22: Chuck Berry was blatant and fun - and his My Ding-a-Ling an early Rock classic. Bhupen Hazarika's Tomar ongo jolonto jui moi je potongo was never called into question given perhaps the stature of the stalwart.

But singers Rahul Deka and Sumi's Heri heri, which includes innuendo-laden lines such as "Joya...tore herikhon dekha nai" (Joya I haven't seen your that...as it were) has landed them in trouble with an FIR being lodged at Latasil police station for the content of the song.

Amidst the never-ending controversy on the latest trends of Assamese music, today, two advocates from Gauhati High Court, Manjit Chaliha and Gautam Chamua, lodged the complaint against Deka and Sumi. In the FIR, the advocates alleged that the song is "completely obscene in nature and shocked conscience of the general public". The song is part of an Assamese album, Morom-Vol 1.

Police registered a case against them under Sections 294, 292 and 67 (A) of the IT Act.

"It is very sad to hear about such songs. Now upcoming singers run after money and glamour. So they lack depth. They only need some shows in a year and some money. Music has become a business. We have the freedom of speech but it does not mean that we should harm our society," said Tarali Sharma, a national award winning music director of Assam.

Reacting to the song and the FIR, senior music director of Assam, J.P. Das, said, "Senior musicians like us should not tolerate such songs. I request all not to invite these singers to any stage show."

A young lyricist of Assam, Diganta Bharati, said the media and music industry should be aware of such singers. "We should stop them in the initial stage. Lyrics should be of good taste and it does not mean that it will be wild," Bharati said.

As the song has been doing the rounds on social networking sites even before filing of the FIR, the film fraternity of Assam has appealed on Facebook and Youtube to remove the song.

Deka reacted to the controversy on Facebook, "I don't understand what slang people are talking about in my song. I will take action against those who made adverse comments on the song without having any idea what I was going to say."

The singer, however apologised to all the people of the state on a television debate tonight and promised he will never sing such an offensive song in the future.
