Pare Ko


Pare Ko is a song by the Eraserheads. It was included in their debut album, Ultraelectromagneticpop!. It was the band's third hit single. The song was later adapted into a movie of the same title starring Claudine Barreto and Mark Anthony Fernandez. It was covered by APO Hiking Society and later Spongecola.

Controversy

The single and the album was nearly censored by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry due to the Tagalog profanity "‘Tang Ina". Swear words were unheard of in Philippine music at the time, and as such their record label asked them to record a radio edit of the song; they retitled it "Walang Hiyang Pare Ko" which can also be found in Ultraelectromagneticpop! but not in the remastered 25th anniversary version.

Covers

The song was adapted into a Star Cinema movie in 1994 starring Claudine Barretto, Gwapings members Mark Anthony Fernandez and Jomari Yllana along with Jao Mapa, Victor Neri and Gio Alvarez.
On the June 2, 2019 episode of Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, this was played as the background music.
