I was playing a lot of bass this year, ever since i invested on a really good amp. one of my targets is to learn alot of Eheads. As I have been playing in a Eraserheads cover band, i was motivated to study the basslines for the debut album note-for-note. Even though I was already aware of how great Buddy Zabala is on bass, I was still taken aback on how awesome some of the laid basslines were for Ultraelectromagneticpop. All I can say was "Wow, ang galing talaga". One of the challenge was actually to learn Shake Yer Head, as it's the bass who holds the rhythm parts with minimal drumming for the song. Plainly stated this one's really a great song
I was born upside down
I felt my grandma
Put my feet on the ground
They put a spoon in my mouth
And everyone was shocked to hear me shout
Well I knew I couldn't take
All that dog food that they make
And just as soon as pull myself
On a stake and burn
I saw it coming around
And so I just yeah,
Shook my head and walk away
I grew up in a town
Where everybody's trying to push me around
The girls are all right
But the guys are tough
They're always bugging me with macho stuffs
Well I ain't no super fighter
I go for flower power
I've been running every race
Just to save my face
Well, they try to see
If you care
It's just a matter of not begging for more
You know it's really suicidal to just give in
With people you can never really be sure
Oh, when I get down to this
They'll eat you up
When the words get in your head
They'll get you up
It's a saving grace
To have enough
When you find yourself in a compromising spot
You should know, you shouldn't take
All that dog food that they make
You'd just as soon as put yourself on a stake and burn
You see it coming around
