Think about it: In the Philippines...
60's was the decade of Rock and Roll...
70's was the decade of Disco Fever...
80's was the decade of New Wave...
90's was the decade of Battle of the Bands...
And in the millenium... Novelty Songs...

Their goes a good pop-culture and music history down the drain. When will it stop? It was still bearable hearing these songs during the early years of its popularity... The Spaghetti Song by The Sexbomb Girls followed by Otso-Otso by Bayani Agbayani... with it's matching dance moves. But imagine the list of novelty songs available today. A novelty song geek can already burn a CD compilation/selection out of it. The lyrics are obviously sexually suggestive, and some of these songs have children singing in its choruses. And even if they claim it to be otherwise, the lyrics doesn't make sense and childish. Who even listens to these continuously...
