The two songs Melay Parakkum Rockettu and Dingiri Dingale (the songs with Baila music, which in turn was influenced by Portuguese music) topped the charts.[1][5] The song Dingiri Dingale (Meenachi) was covered in Sinhala as Pissu Vikare (Dagena Polkatu Male) by H. R. Jothipala, Milton Perera, M. S. Fernando. And it was covered again in Sinhala as a folk song named Digisi/Digiri Digare (Kussiye Badu). The song Dingiri Dingale was recreated by Sulaiman Kakkodan for the 2021 Malayalam film Kurup.
