Inihaw

"Inihaw" is a 2006 song by Filipino Rock group Siakol. It is included in their seventh studio album Sa Kabilang Mundo.

The whole duration of song asks questions to the listeners about cruelty and things that commonly feared such as ghosts and dead people rising from the dead. Despite asking these questions that seems negative, it is done in a humorous way.

The title of the song "Inihaw" (Tagalog word for "barbecue" or "grilled") looks like unrelated to the theme of the song but it could probably related to the frequently asked question in the song, which is "Nakatikim ka na ba ng lupit na humahagupit?" (translated in English as "Have you tasted cruelty that whips?"). It seems to suggest that the taste of whipping cruelty is barbecue.

Inihaw

Nakatikim ka na ba ng lupit na humahagupit?
Nakatikim ka na ba ng lupit na humahagupit?
Nabulabog ka na ba ng kulog?
Tinamaan ka na ba ng kidlat?

Nakatikim ka na ba ng lupit na humahagupit?
Nasapol ka na ba ng bato ng tirador sa ulo?
Nasapol ka na ba ng bato ng tirador sa ulo?
Nasabugan ka na ba ng bomba?
Naibala ka na ba sa kanyon?

Nasapol ka na ba ng bato ng tirador sa ulo?
Nakakita ka na ba ng bangkay na muling nabuhay?
Nakakita ka na ba ng bangkay na muling nabuhay?
Nausukan ka na ba ng kapre?
Kinilabutan ka na ba ng multo?
Nakakita ka na ba ng bangkay na muling nabuhay?

Natangay ka na ba ng hangin na malakas ang dating?
Natangay ka na ba ng hangin na malakas ang dating?
Napuruhan ka na ba ng isa?
Nabilangan ka na ng sampu?
Natangay ka na ba ng hangin na malakas ang dating?
Nabulabog ka na ba ng kulog?
Tinamaan ka na ba ng kidlat?

Nakatikim ka na ba ng lupit na humahagupit?

Humahagupit...
Humahagupit...
Humahagupit...

Esem

"Esem" is a mid-1990s hit from Filipino rock group Yano, which is included on their eponymous album. The song is a reference to SM City North Edsa, the very first super mall established by SM Prime Holdings, in Quezon City, Philippines. This mall is one of the favorite tambayan (hangout) of some University of the Philippines students, which members of Yano (Dong Abay and Eric Gancio) belong. In this song, they recount their experiences while loitering inside the mall without any money to buy things except for transportation fare and two cigarettes. It shows the true iskolar ng bayan (scholars of the nation), who strive hard to study with their little allowances. Esem Patingin-tingin, di naman makabili Patingin-tingin, di makapanood ng sine Walang ibang pera, kundi pamasahe Nakayanan ko lang, pambili ng dalawang yosi Pamoy-amoy, di naman makakain Busog na sa tubig Gutom nailipas din Patuloy ang laboy Walang iisipin Kailangang magsaya, kailangang magpahangin Nakakainip ang gan...

Laklak

" Laklak " is an alternative rock song by Filipino band Teeth. The song is included in their double-platinum eponymous album in 1995. " Laklak " reached number 1 for 12 weeks in LA-105, a former alternative rock station in Manila, and was voted as Song of the Year at 1995 NU 107 Rock Awards. "Laklak" was re-recorded to fit the mainstream audience. The lyrics of the song are somewhat controversial because it talks about alcoholism in the youth. Although, it can also viewed as a way to avoid alcoholism because the song shows how too much drinking can make a person looked like a police who has a big tummy. In 2002, a cover version by Gloc 9 and Dong Abay is included in the soundtrack of Videoke King , a Filipino film, which stars Robin Padilla and Pops Fernandez. This version of "Laklak" is included in the self-titled album of Gloc 9. Laklak Nagsimula sa patikimtikim Pinilit kong gustuhin Bisyo'y nagsimulang lumalim Kaya ngayon ang hirap t...

Harana

"Harana" (Tagalog for "Seranade") is one of Parokya ni Edgar's biggest hit. In 1999, this song got an award from MTV Video Music Awards in the "Southeast Asia Viewer's Choice Awards" category. It seems that there is some kind of irony (or humor) in this song because their doing the harana (serenade) in formal barong (a traditional Filipino garment) with the informal maong (jeans). This song was originally written by Filipino singer Tony Lambino and ended up to this Filipino alternative rock band. In 2002, Parokya ni Edgar made a full version of this song with the following addition: Uso pa ba ang harana? Marahil ngayon ay alam mo na Basta’t para sa iyo aking hirang Kahit na magmukhang hibang Tutupdin ang lahat liyag pagkat ako ang iyong bihag. Harana (Narration) Tao po! Good evening, puwede ba hong mangharana? Uso pa ba ang harana Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka Sino ba 'tong mukhang gago Nagkandarapa sa pagkanta At nasisintunado sa kaba Meron pan...
