Day 7 - A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain Event
Okay, what I'm about to tell you is the perfect pang-blackmail story. So if you think you will hate me in the future, better pay attention.
It was the early 90s and the music group Smokey Mountain was at their peak of popularity. (O, Smokey Mountain pa lang giveaway embarrassing moment na!) Their songs Kailan, Can This Be Love and Mama in their first album were all chart-toppers. (I bought a cassette tape of this album, haha!) Then they released their second album, Paraiso (Paradise), which had their catchiest and most masa song: Da Coconut Nut.
One Saturday afternoon, I was home just chillin' and listening to the radio. The DJ then announced that they're giving away prizes to the first person to call the station and sing Da Coconut Nut on air. I don't know what possessed me to ring them up and croak out "It's the coco fruit, of the coco tree, from the coco palm family!" for all the city to hear.
Just so you know, the 'prize' consisted of canned goods and packs of noodles. Parang feeding lang, haha!
