♬ As It Was – Harry Styles

10. Glimpse Of Us – Joji
A piano ballad by the artist formerly known as Filthy Frank.

9. Sunroof – Nicky Youre & dazy
Something we can listen to while having a 6AM morning drive.

8. Angel Baby – Troye Sivan
At first, I thought this is something the British boyband Westlife would sing. But the chorus has the same tune as the Backstreet Boy‘s 2001 single “Drowning.”

7. About Damn Time – Lizzo
Probably the best bop that went viral on TikTok in 2022.

6. sun and moon – anees
The official anthem of the satirical and parodic Facebook page International State College of the Philippines (ISCP).

5. abcdefu – GAYLE [Top Pick: January 2022]
Fun chorus to sing along to.

4. Pano – Zack Tabudlo [Top Pick: December 2022]
Perhaps the biggest Filipino song in 2022. The alternative pop hit is the first song to top Billboard’s Hits of the World Chart in the Philippines.

3. Asan Ka Na Ba – Zack Tabudlo
Sucks this song was not sung when Zack went to Cebu for the Aurora Music Fest last November 2022.

2. Pagsamo – Arthur Nery [Top Pick: Philippine Song & March 2022]
I blame that viral TikTok mashup of Pagsamo and Marian Rivera‘s 2009 dance hit “Sabay Sabay Tayo” for making this song stuck in our heads for months!

1. As It Was – Harry Styles [Top Pick: April 2022 | Billboard Global 200: Year End 2022 #1 | Official Singles Chart: End of Year 2022 #1]
The former One Direction member’s synth-pop hit is so big we heard it everywhere in 2022!

Listen to the songs as good as the greatest hits of the year 2022! #twentytwentytoo #songsoftheyear #abcdeforyou

Top 3 Songs of June 2021:
3. “Running Away” – VANO 3000, BADBADNOTGOOD & Samuel T. Herring
I cannot get enough of the viral TikTok trend with a BADBADNOTGOOD looped sample that pays tribute to the bumpers of Cartoon Network’s late-night programming block [adult swim].

2. “Butter” – BTS
I will always associate this song with the 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium French Fries, medium Coke, and the Sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces or the McDonald’s BTS Meal.

1. “good 4 u” – Olivia Rodrigo
Everyone familiar with Paramore can also hear some similarities to the American rock band’s 2007 breakthrough single “Misery Business”.

Intermission: Simulang i-angat ang bandera sa mga kantang OPM tampok ang SB19, Shanti Dope, James Reid, Angela Ken, Zack Tabudlo, at ang “Pajama Party (Cypher 1)” ng 1096 Gang ft. Guddhist, Youngwise, Polo Pi, Ghetto Gecko & Luci J. I-follow lang ang Spinnin’ Rabbit sa Spotify at pakinggan Pasok Sa Tunog playlist.

Top 3 Songs of the Year 2021 so far:
3. “Leave The Door Open” – Silk Sonic
Grammy Award-winning American-Filipino singer-songwriter Bruno Mars joined forces with fellow Grammy Award-winning American singer Anderson .Paak for an R&B superduo Silk City.

2. “HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY” – GIVĒON
I’m as confused as anyone thinking why lovers use this sleeper hit as a celebration of their relationship. LOL

1. “drivers license” – Olivia Rodrigo
The best part of the song would probably be the dreamy bridge. I don’t remember any recent song whose bridge as rich as the catchphrase “I still fuckin’ love you”.

Top 3 Throwback Songs:
3. “Booty Wurk (One Cheek At A Time)” – T-Pain ft. Joey Galaxy [2011]
I guess everyone on Philippine TikTok tried Niana Guerrero’s breath-catching choreography.

2. “Rasputin” – Boney M. [1978]
“Russia’s greatest love machine” himself Grigori Rasputin inspired the German group Boney M. with this viral TikTok Euro-disco hit.

1. “The Luck You Got” – The High Strung [2005]
Glad I watched all 11 seasons of the American TV series Shameless a few months before the series finale last April. The show is fantastic. Each main character’s journey is well-written especially Emmy Rossum’s role Fiona. (That one’s the GOAT!) Plus they feature indie rock songs for their soundtrack.

Meron Lang Betamax (Verse 4: Salamat Sa The Dawn)

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]:

Padayon.

Meron Lang Betamax (Verse 3: Baby Baby Rico J.)

This is a continuation of the previous article. Click here for verse 1. Here for verse 2.

“Baby baby Rico J., musikahan ni Ryan Ryan
Umiskul bukol kay Tito, Vic & Joey, sumayaw sa VST
Humataw kay Gary V., bumilad sa ballad ni Martin Nievera
Request sa DJ ni Sharon Cuneta, nangako sa’yo si Rey Valera”

– 3rd verse of alternative band Sandwich and their song “Betamax” [2008] which was gotten remixed by the guitarist Mong Alcaraz released last year from their club album “Space/Spase”.

“Baby baby Rico J….”

“Baby baby” comes from a lyric of Filipino soul music pioneer Rico J. Puno‘s 1977 Taglish song “Baby I’m For Real” from his seventh studio album “Rico Baby”.

“Musikahan ni Ryan Ryan…”

“Ryan Ryan Musikahan“ is a Philippine late-night musical show which ran from 1988 to 1995 in ABS-CBN hosted by Ryan Cayabyab. Cayabyab (or Mr. C) will always be synonymous with the word “musika“. His composition “Kay Ganda Ng Ating Musika” was performed by Hajji Alejandro in the First Metro Manila Popular Music Festival in 1978 where it won the grand prize.

“Umiskul bukol kay Tito, Vic & Joey…”

“Iskul Bukol” is a Philippine sitcom that aired in IBC-13 from 1978 to 1988. It stars Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon or collectively known as Tito, Vic & Joey (TVJ). The opening theme is inspired by Elvis Presley‘s 1957 chart-topper “All Shook Up”.

“Sumayaw sa VST…”

Nope. It is not “Sumayaw Sumunod” [1978] of The Boyfriends but from another Manila sound group VST & Company and their classic disco single “Awitin Mo At Isasayaw Ko” [1978].

“Humataw kay Gary V….”

“Hataw Na” [1993] is branded perfectly to ‘Mr. Pure Energy’ himself Gary Valenciano.

“Bumilad sa ballad ni Martin Nievera…”

“Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin” [1994] is one of the ‘Concert King’ Martin Nievera‘s greatest ballads.

“Request sa DJ ni Sharon Cuneta…”

The song “Mr. DJ” [1978] drove Sharon Cuneta‘s rise to stardom and soon labeled as ‘The Megastar’ of the Philippines.

“Nangako sa’yo si Rey Valera…”

Originally titled simply as “Pangako” in 1982, Rey Valera‘s popular hit song was covered by Vina Morales for a primetime soap opera series now titled “Pangako Sa’Yo” that aired in ABS-CBN from 2000 to 2002.

Meron Lang Betamax (Verse 2: Nagreklamo Si Chickoy Pura)

This is a follow-up to the previous article.

“Nagreklamo si Chickoy Pura sa balita ng ASIN
Ang anak ni ka Freddie kinontra ni Edru Abraham
Dumoo bidoo ang APO Hiking, mga kababayan ni Francis M
Beh, buti nga sa Hotdog. Nosi ba lasi Sampaguita”

– The second stanza of popular band Sandwich‘s throwback-inducing song “Betamax” [2008]. Music video directed by Nico Puertollano.

“Nagreklamo si Chickoy Pura…”

Chickoy Pura is the lead singer and guitar player for The Jerks. Despite having been formed in 1979, the Pinoy rock band only released their self-titled album in the late 90s with the single “Reklamo Ng Reklamo” [1997].

“Sa balita ng ASIN…”

The legacy of folk-rock band ASIN and their song “Balita” [1979] can be heard as the Tagalog chorus of The Black Eyed Peas‘ “The Apl Song“ [2003].

“Ang anak ni ka Freddie…”

Filipino folk singer Freddie Aguilar‘s 1978 song “Anak” generated a hundred covers and was released in over 50 countries and in 27 different foreign languages. A movie with the same title was released in 2000 with a plot inspired by the lyrics of the song.

“Kinontra ni Edru Abraham…”

This line from the song is a wordplay of the ethnic music and dance ensemble Edru Abraham At Ang KONTempoRAryong GAmelan PIlipino (Kontra-GaPi) formed in 1989. The gamelan has produced an album in 1997 “Gong At Ritmo, Lunggating Pilipino” with one of the tracks titled “Ang Pilipinas Sa Timog Silangang Asya”.

“Dumoo bidoo ang APO Hiking…”

Before Kamikazee‘s fun and wild take of “Doo Bidoo” in 2006, the APO Hiking Society originally recorded the OPM song in 1980.

“Mga kababayan ni Francis M…”

Pinoy hip-hop pioneer Francis Magalona (or known by the moniker Francis M) sings his advice for the people in the Philippines on “Mga Kababayan” [1990].

“Beh, buti nga sa Hotdog…”

“Beh, Buti Nga” [1981] by the disco band Hotdog is about getting even with a past crush who never knew you existed.

“Nosi ba lasi Sampaguita…”

Sampaguita‘s “Nosi Ba Lasi” [1989] is a street phrase “sino ba sila” which translates to “who are they“.
