Anyway that was the first hit of this Filipino group or the first one I heard anyway. My students sang it a lot, that's why. I didn't think much of the song because It seemed like every airhead in the street was singing it.
A long time later, I saw this group in Cito Beltran's talk show. That's when I began to like them.
I like Kwarto, the first clip here, because it's sad. Period.
The second clip is the group's version of one of the Apo Hiking Society's popular hits, Batang-bata Ka Pa.
The band called Itchyworms is among those I like best, maybe because the melody (and funny lyrics) of their songs remind me of my top favorite Filipino band in the 70s, Hotdog (Dying to Tell You, Manila, Deep Purple and Nice to Know We Try ... the latter two songs I've been dying to find but my search has so far been futile).
Here is an interesting song from Itchyworms: Love Team. The lyrics are funny (but I know it happens).
Di naman talaga tayo magsinta
pero gusto nila
kahit ayaw mo
bagay daw tayo
Di naman totoo mga yakap mo
pang eksena lamang ito
di mo lang alam
na nababaliw na 'ko sa 'yo
di ko na yata kaya 'to
ang aking lihim na pakay
ay ang lahat ng ito'y gawing tunayChorus:
Sana wag mong sisihin
Kong di ko kayang pigilin
Sabi mo na mahal mo 'ko
Ngunit di naman seryoso
Sana magkasingkulay
ang drama at tunay na buhay ko
ang tanging pag-asa ko
ay nasa tambalang itoSinungaling ka
Kapag may tao nilalambing mo 'ko
pero pag wala
ay sumasama ang turing mo sa 'kin
ay parang hanging bitin na bitin
Di nila alam na sa dulo ng tagpo
Di na patok ang linya ko
Nag-iiba ang iyong asta
Hanggang sa susunod na eksenaRepeat Chorus ... instrumental ... repeat chorus.
