There have been innumerable MDs who used and songs that have "nonsense 
syllables and words". There is even a term for it "dummy words". C 
Ramchandra's several songs of 50s having dummy words. Radio Ceylon even 
had a full program at one time in 70s (I think) in which they played 
only the songs having dummy words.

With such a history, why is using these in a song becomes "really unique 
and special about him (ARR)"?
