Puzzling.. yet super hit song

Goes below the starting lyrics (pallavi) of a song from the movie Khaidi, one of the all time hits of Telugu cinema. The movie is said to have propelled Chiranjeevi to super-stardom.

ఇదేమిటబ్బా
ఇది అదేను అబ్బా


అదేమిటబ్బా
అది ఇదేను అబ్బా

 I don't know if people really noticed the funny part of the lyrics. The song starts with a question "what is this?" from the hero to the heroine. The heroine replies  "this is that only". Then the hero asks again "what is that then?" and the heroine replies "that is this only". And the 4 minute long song finishes without revealing what it is. Sounds absurd but I like it for the absurdity. May be it was intended to be a puzzle to the audiences. May be that is the reason why it was such a big hit. Kudos to the one and only late 'Veturi'.
