Maiba naman tayo. Let’s go back to the 1970s with this parody track mula sa trio na wala na yatang ginawa sa kanilang musika kundi ang patawanin tayo sa pamamgitan ng kanilang Tough Hits.

Upakan, mula sa trio nila Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, spoof mula sa kantang Usapan ng isang 70s group na Sing Sing.

PlayBack: BULOK – Sir Rex Kantatero

Ah, BUKO pala ha? Siguraduhin mong hindi ka BULOK, ha? I mean, hindi ka nangangamoy bulok.

Dahil tayo ay nasa republika ng mga parodista, ito ang isang parody na nagustuhan ko. Sa panahon na sobrang apaw na ng mga romantikong ballad sa ating bansa, ito lang yata ang isa sa mga nakakatawang pamabsag-trip mula sa isa sa mga sikat na parodista sa panahon ngayon, si Sir Rex Kantatero ng iFM 93.9

Nakakabato.

Teka nga, teka nga… *handclap* Pusong bato ba o sadyang nakakabato lang ang kantang ito?

At teka ulit, bakit nga ba ulit nauso ang kantang ito? Ang daming matitinong musika sa lokal na kultura natin? Pero… pusong bato?

Ano ‘to? Maraming nagiging emotero sa panahon ngayon? Yan kasi dala ng panunood n’yo ng mga telenobela.

Manhid lang ba, o sadyang nakakabadtrip na lang nag paglipana ng ganyang kanta? Ay, ewan.

My PICK #8 - AMALAYER STYLE.

Here’s something that I spotted over the week, and… yes, at the height of that scandalous moment where a young lady was caught in the act by an allegedly a citizen journalist humiliating a lady guard.

More than a video that gave her 60 seconds of fame (or shame). Here’s a mash-up parody track made by a certain DJBrianCua of the music streaming website SoundCloud.

Poppish Sound. Dumbass Mainstream?!

I’m not a music guru or something much inclined into (though I’m trying to aspire to be a lyricist for some time). But ever since the new artists showed up on gigs, new songs airing over CDs, MP3 players, and radios, there is one thing I asked over my mind for some time: the music is evolving, but is this the one that I should listen? Take, for instance, the rock genre. From underground, it went to mainstream slowly but surely, and from one old rock genre, it had gone to different classifications. Progressive, metal, other types of hardcore, a mixture of punk, or pop, or even rap, you name them. The same goes for rap. It went to novelty and hip-hop. But apparently, novelty was always a part of pop music.
