Mane may refer to:
Mane (Kannada: ಮನೆ, English: House) is a 1990 Indian Kannada language film directed by Girish Kasaravalli starring Naseeruddin Shah, Deepti Naval and Rohini Hattangadi in lead roles.
Mane is a Kafkaesque tale about a young couple (Naseeruddin Shah and Deepti Naval) that moves to the city from a village with the hope of finding privacy and freedom, which are unavailable in the joint family system. For all its narrative excursions, in a sense, Mane is merely about the breakup of a marriage in which the Rossellinian couple, unable to confront each other directly amidst the loneliness of the city, externalizes their troubles – his powerlessness, her desire for freedom and their childlessness – and shifts blame on situations beyond their control in order to act victims. Kasaravalli works wonder with film and sound here, using them to denote the impending break down. (One stunning shot uses the neon lights of the neighbourhood to literally break apart the frame). A critique on urban spaces that suffocate more than they promise privacy, Mane unfolds like a sociological update on Rear Window (1954), in which personal anxieties and fears are displaced onto the surroundings and, specifically, onto a lower social class. In that sense, Mane connects all the way to the director’s latest work in the manner in which it raises questions about the visibility of the class structure and the seeming imperceptibility of the consequences of acts of one class on the other. Mane is full of such encroachments of freedom by other competing notions of freedom – between classes, between houses and between spouses.
Yeah, when I drop the cross
When I show you the boss
When I show you the off
M A N E, spells mane
You know the bass is out, you comin' thick mane
I'm droppin' words on beats, they comin' sick mane
That little cadence you use, that ain't shit mane
Long-face or not, you be a big mane
Sweet on my feet, flow like Sugar Shane
You never get up the hill, to the Hall of Fame
E-40 my man, he did 'Tha Hall of Game'
Girls walk the stage, while the speakers bang
Pretty titties that hang
When you droppin' them thangs
Non-stop rocka rocka rocka
When I get up and spot her
M A N E, spells mane
Yeah, that's me, don't forget it
F A M E, spells fame
Whatever it takes, yo I'ma get it
G A M E, spells game
Since it started, I've been in it
M A N E, spells mane
The way I start it, I'ma finish
Peter Piper picked pickles and Keith rocked rhymes
Move around, get away, you need to split mane
You can't spit mane, make it tick mane
Still I flip a brain, in the powerful lane
Like a powerful train, you can't handle my pain
I put a stain on your name leave you out in the rain
Let my foes remain, like a key yo
Stuck to a key chain
Matinee, I'm the Lord of rings
Chang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang, bobbala-bang-bang
Shockin' the waves, rockin' them days, sparkin' them pays, yo
B's turn to C's turn to B's, A+ turn to A's
M A N E, spells mane
Yeah, that's me, don't forget it

I'm down to slick slang, girls check yo' phone rang
Smooth as oodles of noodles and chowmein
If you go out late, I'll hang
And sweat like jheri curls on Pootie Tang
Don't get jealous, stop messin' with Pootie mane
I'm out here with sharp eyes and a booty aim
Watchin' the booty frame
That blouse show nipples, got me insane
Fire that burn, leave you in flame
2000 iron freight train, little mane or big mane
Who drive a rig mane, light up a cig mane
Quarter to eight, mane, don't be late mane
M A N E, spells mane
Yeah, that's me, don't forget it
F A M E, spells fame
Whatever it takes, yo I'ma get it
G A M E, spells game
Since it started, I've been in it
