Si itay at ang Franco.
(Kanina habang nagpe-perform ang bandang Franco sa MYX Mo! 2010...)
Itay: Ano'ng pangalan ng bandang 'yan?
Ako: Franco.
Itay: Aba, maraming alam na banda itong si kuya, ah.
(Biglang pinakita 'yung balbasaradong vocalist na si Franco Reyes)
Itay: Ano ba 'yang mga 'yan, mga Arabyano?
Ako: (LOL) Mga Pinoy 'yan! XD
Hayooop! na Combo
Habang nagmemeryenda ako dito ng masarap na ginataang monggo at turon saging ay bigla ko na lamang naisip ang Hayop na Combo. Alam n’yo ba ang awiting ito? Si Yoyoy Villame ang umawit nito. Potek. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla kong naisip ang kantang ito habang kumakain ako. Wala namang kinalaman ang mga hayop sa ginataan at saging, ‘di ba? At isa pa, nagtataka ako kung bakit Hayop na Combo pa ang naisip kong kanta eh Franco naman itong pinapakinggan kong music sa ngayon.
Kaya naisip kong hanapin ang lyrics ng Hayop na Combo sa Google. At narito ang ilang portion sa lyrics ng kantang ‘yon:
Baboy ang nagbabaho. Ang drummer ay aso. Butiki ang nagpi-piyano. Pusa ang organista. Manok ang gumigitara. Ayos din ang aming disko. Sa tugtog ng hayop na kombo. Nag-rock en roll and mga daga. Nag-chacha ang mga palaka. Nagalit ang kabayong bakla. Kay kalabaw na tumutula. Palakpakan ang surot at ipis.
Narito ‘yung buong lyrics.
Amfotarages na lyrics ‘yan. Ang kulet. XD
