Parokya ni Edgar (English: Edgar's Parish) is a multi-award winning Filipino band formed in 1993. The band is famous for its original rock novelty songs and often satirical covers of popular songs both foreign and local. The band is adept at playing in various musical genres.
Parokya ni Edgar has been referred to by local media as "Pambansang Banda ng Pilipinas" (The National Band of the Philippines).
Despite having "Edgar" in the band's name, none of the members are named Edgar.
Originally named Comic Relief, the band's initial members were a group of high school students composed of vocalists Chito Miranda, Jeric Estaco, and Vinci Montaner, along with guitarists Mikko Yap and Gab Chee Kee, all hailing from Ateneo de Manila University. They were regulars in after-school jam sessions, before performing an opening number for an Eraserheads concert. This served as their break in the music industry and prompted them to add a drummer and bassist – schoolmate Dindin Moreno and Buwi Meneses, respectively. Around the same time they changed the band's name to Parokya ni Edgar. After high school, Mikko and Jeric withdrew from the band to pursue other interests. Soon after, the remaining band members invited their friend Darius Semaña to take the role of lead guitar.
Wag ka nang mag-alala
hinding hindi ako in love sa yo
bakit ba pakiramdam mo pa yata
lahat kami ay naaakit mo
miss miss pakitigil lang please
ang iyong pagpapantasya
hindi ka na nakakatuwa
papagulpi na kita sa gwardyang may batuta
ha ya ya ya...
Hindi ko talaga ma-gets
kung bakit ka ganyan
ang feeling moy sabik sa iyo
ang lahat ng kalalakihan
sorry pagpasensyahan mo na
mali talaga ang iyong inaakala
lahat kami ay nandidiri sa iyo
ikaskas mo na sana ang mukha mo sa simento
*Di kami na tu-turn-on
sa kutis mong kulay champurado
di kami naaakit
sa labi mong garamucho
**oh please naman pakitanggap mo nalang ang katotohanan
naganyan ka pinanganak
wag ka nang magpapanggap
na ikaw ay isang dalagang ubod nang ganda
kahit na alam naman natin na ang karakas mo
ay ubod nang sama
siguro nga naman ay may mga mas pangit pa sa yo
pero at least hindi sila nagpapacute katulad mo
nakakabadtrip ka nakakairita twing kitay nakikita
di ko alam bat ang laki ng ulo mo
