Back to the 90′s 1: Dance Songs

Like Artie of Glee, I am a frustrated dancer (btw, I’m not on a wheelchair LOL). As a kid, I would always watch my sister dance to these popular tunes.

These songs have gibberish lyrics, if not sung in Japanese or French or they are rap/dance songs. Our generation would sing and dance to it during Christmas parties, intramurals, fiestas or even when we were playing on the streets. We didn’t even care if we knew the exact title of the song nor the artist who sang it. Though I thought, if we had MTV when these songs were popular, we would know the artists names by heart.

Naalala ko pa may mga dance contests pa on TV lalo na sa Eat Bulaga.
Ang nakakatawa since some songs are in Japanese or French or dahil rap song nga sya, papalitan ang mga lyrics ng Tagalog. Madalas sleazy pa yung lyrics. Like this first video here:

French/Japanese/Latin songs

1. Angelina – PSY

Of course, who could forget the famous French lines replaced by Tagalog that go “baho mmmm mo…amoy mmmm… di ka nagsasabon, kinalikot mo pa” I found this subtitled version on YT.

2. Sweet Soul Revue – Pizzicato Five

3. Feel Like Dance – Globe

4. Macarena – Los Del Rio
A very popular song. At ngayon ko lang nalaman kaya hindi naging song of the year ang “One Sweet Day” sa Billboard nung 1996 dahil sa kantang ito. Hmp. (bitter?)

5. On Ne Saimera Plus Jamais – Larusso
Natatawa ako dito kasi a lot of people refer to this as “siyame siyame”
