Eraserheads (sometimes stylized as ERASƎRHEADS) is a Filipino rock band formed in 1989. Consisting of Ely Buendia, Marcus Adoro, Buddy Zabala and Raimund Marasigan, the band became one of the most successful, most influential, critically acclaimed, and significant bands in the Philippine music history. Eraserheads are also credited for spearheading a second wave of Manila band invasions, paving the way for a host of Philippine alternative rock bands.
The band released several singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one and achieved commercial success with their third album Cutterpillow, which achieved platinum status several times. They received the Viewer's Choice Award for Asia from the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.
In 1989, two college bands from the University of the Philippines, Diliman were both in search of new members for a new group. Curfew, which consisted of Buddy Zabala on bass, Raimund Marasigan on drums and Marcus Adoro on guitars met up with Sunday School, which consisted of Ely Buendia on vocals and Raimund as session drummer in December of the same year. Ely's first two college bands, Bluidie Tryste and Sunday School, were too unstable, so he posted an audition notice on a university message board. Only Raimund, Buddy, and Marcus showed up at the audition. According to an interview with myx, Raimund said he first auditioned as bassist while Buddy as drummer. But they noticed that it did not sound right, the two switched places.
Di mapigil paggalaw, nagwawala, nagdadabog
Oi pare dahan-dahan lang muntik ka nang mahulog
May taong bumubulong, meron ding sumisigaw
Meron pang nag-iingles na parang kanong hilaw
Bigla nalang natutulala, umiiyak, tumatawa
Meron ding nagnanakaw at nawawalan ng pera
Sumusuray pag lumakad, nadadapa, nauuntog
Pag dalawin ng antok, kahit saan natutulog
May taong nagagalas na parang luko-luko
Kung saan ka man abutin, CR mo ang buong mundo
Alkohol, alkohol, utak mo'y buhol-buhol (4x)
Alkohol, alkohol, alkohol
Di mapigil ang bibig, pati sikreto nasasabi
Nasusuka, kumakanta, napa-praning sa isang tabi
Kaya ko pa, yan ang laging sagot niya
Nananaginip ng gising pumupungay ang mata
Konting alak nalulunod, lumalakas ang loob
Umeekis, gumagapang, natitisod, sumusubsob
Labo-labo, sari-sari may naghahanap ng away
Binabangungot ng gising meron ding namamatay
Lumiliwanag, dumidilim, bumabait, tumatapang
Umiikot ang tingin, utak mo'y kinakalawang
Alkohol, alkohol, utak mo'y buhol-buhol (2x)
Alkohol, alkohol, alkohol
Lumiliwanag, dumidilim, nadadapa, nauuntog
Pag dalawin ng antok kahit saan natutulog
Bukas may hangover ka, pagising masakit ang ulo
Paano ba ako nakauwi? Shet kailangan ko ng yelo
Alkohol, alkohol, utak mo'y buhol-buhol (4x)
