Back To The 70's

[storm]

Ooops, my bad! Sorry, I didn't notice this! But they're both correct naman!! :cool:

 

Way to go! Nakuha mo yung "Black Magic Woman" ng Santana, and the last one, What A Wonderful World of Louie Armstong!

 

:cool:

 

 

Hi, Willow Boy! Ikaw ang BIDA sa BONUS! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

You got "Light My Fire" by The Doors! :boo: And "Never My Love" and "Cherish" by The Association! Favorites ko yun!

 

Answers will be posted tomorrow...

 

:upside:

 

Light my Fire? Cherish? Nakuha ko yung Never My Love pero yung version nung sa kin ay 5th Dimension. Now that I read the answers, I remember the songs.

 

 

Yoko na mag post ng answers sa Quiz 2 ni Ms.Liberty at baka mahalata na panay basa ko ng JINGLE songhits Which is reflective of my frustration I think--- I cannot sing at all!!!!! Ha ha ha kaya hanggang pa memorize na lang ng lyrics :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Thank you very much for the warm welcome on this thread. Greetings portion muna:

 

1. Pareng Storm and KapitanJT, miss na miss ko kayo! Puro kababawan kasi pinaguukulan ko ng free time ko these days (read: no brainer threads on mtc)

 

Hope to see you lovely people soon, till then I'll keep on singing in the bathroom (currently singing You've made me so very happy, I'm so glad you came into my liiiiiifeeeeeeeee).

 

We hope to see you too over some bottles of wine

 

Pasingit ulit... walang nakaka guess pa ng:

 

"AND LIFE WITHOUT YOU HAS NO FUTURE FOR ME" - The Harder I Try by Free Movement :thumbsupsmiley:

 

"WE COULD BE ON A DESERT LOST WITHOUT A PLACE TO GO" - Together by Tierra :heart:

 

Now that I read the answers, I remember the songs. But I don't know who Tierra is. Hindi ba mas sikat o baduy noon yung Together Again nina Ate Vilma at Kuya Bobot?

[lomex32]

I hope someone also plays a guitar .... anyone?

 

Frankly i have little idea about Leif Garret ... but my aunt's room has a very huge poster of him

 

6. Lomex, I had such a huge crush on Leif Garret when I was 10/11yrs old! I can still hear "when I think of you ... I gotta wait for the summer ...." in my head.

Hope to see you lovely people soon, till then I'll keep on singing in the bathroom (currently singing You've made me so very happy, I'm so glad you came into my liiiiiifeeeeeeeee).

[masi]

Yoko na mag post ng answers sa Quiz 2 ni Ms.Liberty at baka mahalata na panay basa ko ng JINGLE songhits Which is reflective of my frustration I think--- I cannot sing at all!!!!! Ha ha ha kaya hanggang pa memorize na lang ng lyrics :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Thank you very much for the warm welcome on this thread. Greetings portion muna:

 

1. Pareng Storm and KapitanJT, miss na miss ko kayo! Puro kababawan kasi pinaguukulan ko ng free time ko these days (read: no brainer threads on mtc)

 

2. MsLiberty! Ha ha ha ako na si SIRIT QUEEN! Isn't SIRIT is such a 70s term? Hmmm at least that's what I recall from all the "knock-knock" jokes my cousins used to teach me tagalog when we would come home to manila for the holidays. Re Isley Brothers, they have wonderful songs which many newer artists did covers of. I first heard HARVEST as a Robert Palmer cover, THIS OLD HEART OF MINE as a Rod Stewart cover, FOR THE LOVE OF YOU as a Whitney Houston cover and AT YOUR BEST as an Aaliyah cover, research research ako ng konti at yon na download ko din mga original versions from the Isley Bros. Beautiful really, hayyyy yung iba eh make-out music too!

 

3. Masi Pare, am an old soul I think and am getting there soon na rin physiologically I think part of this audiophilic addiction is rooted in the fact that when I was growing up in Bangkok, these songs were the only things in English! Plus of course my dad is such a music junkie too. I think you will make gulat (euuuwwww how kaka-girl!) to find out that I can sing along to 80% of the Everly Brothers' songs!

 

4. Willowboy, I sooooo love that Free Movement song! Everytime I hear it, without fail, I get soooo weepy. But of course hindi dahil feeling ko ako yung kumakanta but ako yung kinakantahan

 

5. Sliderule and LadyAugustMoon, hope to meet you one of these days with some of my mostest, favoritest people on mtc

 

6. Lomex, I had such a huge crush on Leif Garret when I was 10/11yrs old! I can still hear "when I think of you ... I gotta wait for the summer ...." in my head.

Hope to see you lovely people soon, till then I'll keep on singing in the bathroom (currently singing You've made me so very happy, I'm so glad you came into my liiiiiifeeeeeeeee).

 

 

 

Well Senorita Lipstick, it's been a long time (dagdag, since I rock and roll!!! O, sige nga sino kumanta nun!!!)

 

This name that song and singer ni Mommy Liberty has got this thread of Pareng Storm burning!!!! (as in "burn baby burn") :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Pareng Pinoy and I, during our drunken stupor, would do a similar game. We'd play MP3s in the stereo, then we'll try to guess the song, the band/singer and dance the steps that went with the song during that era!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! :sick:

 

If my better half and I would like to listen to hits like Hard Core Poetry, The Harder I Try, I love you more today than yesterday (my daughter calls its the Ayala Mall tune), we'll be listening to Spirits of 67 and see all those jiggly cellulite and curdled bellies of matrons as they pound the dancefloor. Of course pag sweet na ang kanta, my better half and I will dance very sweet.

 

 

 

Pareng Storm, siguro ang susunod na eb natin, may dancing na dapat. Or maybe we can have an eb at Jill's on a Friday and ask my friend to play alot of the Stargazer hits, like Native New Yorker, Oh Lorrie, Friends. That would be a blast.

[lomex32]

I cant help but answer

 

it's been a long time (dagdag, since I rock and roll!!! O, sige nga sino kumanta nun!!!) - Led Zepellin

Its been a long time since i rock and roll, let me get it back

Actually, I'm amazed to find you here in this thread Pareng Lomex! Somehow, I was always under the impression that you were more of an 80s (euphemism for mas bata sa amin ng isang dekada. Hehehe!) person...

 

Speaking of Leif Garrett. Di ba karibal niya nun si Shaun Cassidy? I remember he came to Manila and during one of his TV guestings in JQ's show, he was asked: "What can you say about observations that you look like Robert Plant?" Sagot ba naman nitong si Leif: "I don't look like Robert Plant. Maybe, Robert Plant looks like me!" (Ang kapal! Of course true Led Zep fans were outraged!)

Sir

You are amazingly absolutely right.

 

Breakdance and new wave - is indeed my era ...

Just to confirm - hand spin, head spin, hydraulic

artists - Guns and Roses (Axl Rose, Slash), The Cure (Robet Smith), Tears for Fears

Bagets-Gary V., bleh blah blah

Cartoons - Voltes V, Balatack, Mazinger Z

 

I was so much influenced by troops who are as u said a generation ahead of me

I wore Gimbel's pants that when i was a kid.... Sikat na rin ang Hang Ten

 

Joe Quirino also always say when he compares one to a celebrity, that the Celebrity instead looks like you.

 

I remember them on TV :

Aldeguer Sisters

Archie Lacson - Penthouse 7 ba yun? not the magazine

Tama ka, Pareng Magaling. Rivals nga sila Leif at Shaun Cassidy noong time na iyon. Ang mga kanta naman ni Shaun during those days were "Morning Girl" and "Hey Deanie". He also played "Joe Hardy" in the Hardy Boys tv series with Parker Stevenson (ex-husband ni Kirstie Alley).

 

Speaking of Leif's "kakapalan", let's just say na to this day millions, maybe even billions, of people around the world know of "Stairway to Heaven" and Led Zeppelin. I doubt if that many people know of "I Was Made for Dancing" and even think of it as a classic song. (Kinanta ni Leif Garret iyan sa Student Canteen noong mag-guest siya. Hehehe) On a sad note, Leif's been in the news lately here in the US. He's been in and out of drug rehab. :thumbsdownsmiley:

I'm more of a swing guy but I'm aware of those dance steps and music of the 80s.

 

There was a time in the early 70s when the Aldeguer sisters visited our place in Malabon. IMHO I found Lally prettier but Terry was the better dancer.

 

I danced with some of the ladies of Penthouse 7 in one party (not the latin members, please :boo:) and dated one of the members of the Penthouse gang.

 

One brand of shirt na matagal na kaming may pinagsamahan mula pa nung 70s ay Lacoste. Sa jeans naman ay Levi's.

[willow_boy]

Yup, I agree with you. I also had Lacoste shirts noong 70s. Very comfortable ang tela and great fit. I think they're trying to make a comeback. :cool:

 

Late bloomer ako when it came to Levi's. These days, all my jeans are Levi's na. I don't buy anything else. :thumbsupsmiley:

[lomex32]

Storm, you must be some dancer then .... and perhaps even up to now

Perhaps some Nestor de Villa and Nida Blanca influences ..? :hypocritesmiley:

 

Lacoste, Levi's ... then somebody perhaps remember Happy Feet bakya?

 

Trivia : What are these?

Dos Ekis, Corex, Opyo

Here, I had no choice. I had to learn this because during family gatherings, I had to dance with my mother....and my aunts of course. Napakinabangan ko rin naman kahit papaano. A few years back, I worked for an MNC and during our international sales conferences, nagkaroon ng dancing during one of the evening functions. Yung mga delegates from Latin America, syempre they were really into it. Ako lang yata sa mga Asians ang nakapag-dare sumabay sa kanila (ano malay ng mga Hapon, Koreano, Hongkies, etc sa rumba? salsa?). I have to tell you those latinas were really hot! Heeeheee! Buti na lang good boy na ko. Haha!

 

One brand of shirt na matagal na kaming may pinagsamahan mula pa nung 70s ay Lacoste. Sa jeans naman ay Levi's.

 

Then by your and Pareng Willow's standards, I must be considered a sell-out! Geez it must be almost two decades ago since my last pair of Levi's. Although meron pa rin naman ako mga Lacoste shirts. These days, I only have 2 or 3 pairs of denims puro M&S pa. The rest, typical office slacks. I've sold out to the establishment...

Ay wawwww.....

 

Btw, Pareng Lomex: nice pics of Cubao and Makati. To be honest, kung di sinabi ni Willow na Cubao yun, I wouldn't have known for sure. I had a feeling it's got to be Cubao (kasi parang alangan naman Makati o Greenhills o Escolta) but just couldn't figure out where exactly in Cubao. Intersection ba ng Aurora Blvd and Highway 54 before the underpass was built?

Pareng Magaling, tama ka about Cubao. The spot shown on the photo is about 2 blocks from Highway 54 and yes, it was in the days before the underpass was built. Pareng Mandrake will probably be able to name the streets in this shot. Naging laman iyan ng Cubao e.

[lomex32]

Yes if you refer further right... will be HW54

This is indeed Aurora Blvd ... the building on the right still stands up to now....

I would say more of John Travolta and Soul Train influences.

 

Earth shoes. I also bought a couple of those inside the base (meaning Clark and Subic).

 

Thanks for the pics from the 70s. That's Makati Automat which is Glorietta 3 I supposed.

 

What happened to Progressive Bank? Well no progress, no Progressive Bank.

You can always go back to being hip. Gaya nga ng sabi ni Pareng NAZARETH

oo nga ano. it's aurora blvd. nga na para bang ang camera ay nasa diamond theater the way this picture was shot. i was thinking about that sign on the tall building next to shell station and i remember that this would read "asian institute of applied electronics". it's like a vocational school that occupies the top floor of the building where the ground floor is prudential bank branch yata and next to it is cubao elementary school across uniwide. that corner building fronting the white beetle is PNB cubao branch where the beetle is going towards the direction of quezon and sampaguita theaters. ang luwag pa ng aurora blvd. nuon.
