‘Sixties 50 Years Ago, Ngek!’

ME, STARZAN - Joey de Leon - The Philippine Star

Last Sunday nag-throwback tayo tungkol sa Sixties,

Noon bang araw-araw pa mga dance parties!

Noon bang damit ng tao’y pitis na pitis!

And like bagong tuli Beatles nangangamatis!

 

‘Yun bang hinog na hinog at galit na galit!

Kaya kung bitin at sungaw pa, if you insist,

‘Di naman gaanong masakit pag umulit,

Beatles and The Sixtieslet’s get back at bumalik!

 

(To the tune of “Get Back”)

 

Anjo was a man who thought he was a woman

Sa gabi raw sya’y Joan

‘Di ako bilib na s’ya ay marikona

Hanggang aking malaman

 

T-back, t-back

T-back loob ng pantalon!

 

Getting back nung Sixties, in college the course I picked —

B.S. Arch dahil sa drawing ‘di Mathematics!

Trigonometry nga three times ding inuulit!

Sayang lang aking Educational Benefit!

 

Hai! ‘Di ba nga’t wari akong isang scholar?

Eh kasi nga erpats ko USAFFE noong war!

Este paki-google na lang at sayang ang hour,

But surely no konek sa DEER and GIRAFFE! Har, har!

 

(To the tune of “If I Fell” at eto konek at epek

and no laughing matter)

 

If I fail alam n’yo ba

At Educ Benefit ka

Sa tuition babayad pa

Cos ganon ang usapan

Ipasa kailangan

Late kong nalaman

 

Kung ganyan ang case ninyo

You must be sure

From the very start

That you are good and love numbers…

 

 

Alam n’yo ba na nung June 6 Nineteen Sixty-Two

Unang nag-recording sa Abbey Road ang grupo?

At kasabay ginawa nila ang “Love Me Do”

Ang English version syempre ng “Besame Mucho”!

 

(To the tune of “Besame Mucho”)

 

Kisame, kisame gusto

Na magromansa ng girlfriend ko na si Divine

Kisame, at nalaman ko

Sa butiki pinaglihi this girlfriend of mine!

 

I remember ako noon ay student working,

Oo na baliktad eh kasi baliktad din!

Sa araw nagre-relax at sa gabi gising!

‘Yung trabaho ko naman may kahalong cheating!

 

Mahabang kwento’t very long na salaysayin,

Basta work nang whole week one morning tatapusin!

And then iistambay at jukebox ang kasiping!

Ubos ang coins at gasgas Beatles na “Chains”!

 

(To the tune of “Chains”)

 

Chains, my baby’s got me locked up in chains

Kung maka-gwardya like Jaworski

Kaya nag-change na lang ako ng girl for me, yeah!

 

That was the time Holy Spirit Holy Ghost pa!

And being colegiala ay dagdag sa ganda!

Same panahon na pag nag-“P.S. I Love You” ka,

Dehins ka baduy bagkus IN na IN birada!

 

(To the tune of “P.S. I Love You”)

 

Puro lamang letters

Nakuha sa ‘yo

STD at UTI

‘Tsaka IOU!

 

 

It was FIFTY YEARS ago today mantakin n’yo

Nang ang tungkol sa isang banda ng musiko

Na pinamumunuan ng isang Sarhento

Ang ni-record ng Beatles sa Abbey Road Studio!

 

At 50 years ago rin today sumainyo

VICOR ni Orly Ilacad-Vic del Rosario!

At d’yan nagmula “SGT PEPE” naming tatlo!

TVJ’s Tough Hits VICOR nauso! CONGRATU!
