This is the last lyric breakdown of the four-segment article. Read parts 1, 2, and 3 here.
“Salamat sa the Dawn. Ang tatay ko, si Jack Sikat
Disyembre ni Binky Lampano, nangarap ang Identity Crisis
Wag kalimutan ang Wuds namatay sa ingay ng Dead Ends
Never meant to be Betrayed sa XB, NU at Club DREDD”
– From the last part of Pinoy rock band Sandwich‘s 2008 chart-topping hit “Betamax”.
Remember when this song took the number 1 spot in MYX Hit Chart and NU107‘s Stairway To Seven?
“Salamat sa the Dawn…”
As the last verse of “Betamax” continues, we are thankful for The Dawn‘s 1989 signature hit “Salamat”.
“Ang tatay ko, si Jack Sikat…”
The final and hilarious line “Ang tatay mong kalbo…” can be heard on “Golden Boy” by Jack Sikat‘s band Ethnic Faces from the new wave compilation album “10 Of Another Kind” released in 1989.
“Disyembre ni Binky Lampano…”
Another track from the best selling compilation album “10 Of Another Kind” comes the 1989 song “Healing” by Binky Lampano‘s rock and roll band Dean’s December.
“Nangarap ang Identity Crisis…”
Pinoy new wave band Identity Crisis dreams in “Pangarap” from the 1990 album “Water Came Running”.
“Wag kalimutan ang Wuds…”
Seminal punk trio Wuds and their 1994 anthemic tune “At Nakalimutan Ang Diyos”.
“Namatay sa ingay ng Dead Ends…”
Dead Ends is a punk band that came out during the Philippine punk movement in the 80s. Their 1995 hardcore track “Ingay” is part of their fourth studio album “Mamatay Sa Ingay”.
“Never meant to be Betrayed…”
“Never Meant To Be This Way” [1986] by Betrayed is Pinoy punk in a nutshell.
“Sa XB,…”
WXB 102 (simply known as XB) is a radio station in the 80s that dared to be different. The new wave station closed in 1987 after then-president Cory Aquino took over the office. WXB 102 continued its legacy through internet radio in 1998. And in 2006, they conducted the “102 Most Requested Songs of WXB” as voted by 800 listeners around the world. The Dawn hailed the top spot with “Enveloped Ideas” [1987].
“NU…”
After Corazon Aquino got elected and WXB 102 signed off the air in 1987, a “new rock” radio station in Mega Manila took over where XB had left and this time focused on mainly rock music. NU 107 shaped the Filipino rock genre both mainstream and underground for 2 decades. The official NU 107 requiem anthem “Ang Huling El Bimbo” [1996] by Eraserheads (the former band of Sandwich’s frontman Raymund Marasigan) was the last song played before the final sign off in 2010.
“at Club DREDD…”
Club DREDD is a night club that was popular among the rakistas (rock music fans) back in the 90s that discovered some of the biggest names in the industry including Color It Red, The Youth, Eraserheads, The Dawn, and AfterImage. Here’s Color It Red‘s hit song “Paglisan” [1994]:
