Line by Line Meaning

Oy! Iโ€™m punk zappa and my hobbies are! Listening to radio reading da song hits and eating b-bloody pishbols!
I am Punk Zappa and my hobbies are listening to the radio, browsing and reading the top songs and indulging in bloody fishballs.


Tapos manonood kami ng underground concerts kahit di underground basta maingay achaka grunge tapos di ako magdadrugs dapat walang amats diba tas titinggilin ko yung t-shirt ko para makita nila yung yung tato ko achaka yung hikaw ko
Then, we would watch concerts that are not necessarily underground, as long as they are loud and grungy. I will not take drugs during these events because it is important that I remain sober. I will also show off my tattoo and earrings by raising my shirt.


tapos magheheadbang ako achaka syempre magbabackstage step ako sana wala dun si dennis ay hinde aakyat na lang ako ng flagpol tapos dun ako tatalon syempre sasaluhin ako ni kart ginawa yun ni eydi beyder diba
Next, I will headbang to the music and try to go backstage. If I see Dennis, I will not approach him and instead climb up the flagpole and jump. Kart will catch me, just like what Eydi Beyder did before.


tapos pag neygatib yung vakalist syempre papatayin ko sya para may makwento ako kay lola shet! Nakay lola pa yung teyp ko ng panteyra hi lola!
In case the vocalist turns negative, I will kill him so I will have something to tell Lola. She still has my Panthera tape, by the way. Hi, Lola!


tapos pag pagod na kong magheadbang magslam dance pa rin ako sa gitna ng slam pit tapos magyoyosi ako tapos syempre dapat peace lang tol diba dapat hindi ako mapraneng mapraneng mapraneng
When I get tired of headbanging, I will join the slam pit and take a smoke break. I will make sure to keep the peace and not to harm anyone.


tapos pag tapos na yung concert syempre uwi na ko tas pag nasa bahay na ko manonood na ko ng house op noise channel b! Waw idol yun pare hi-tech sampung oras puro noise! Tapos magaaral akong maggitara!
After the concert, I will go home and watch the House of Op Noise channel. It's amazing and high-tech, and it plays noise music for ten hours. Then, I will study how to play the guitar.


Tapos bibili ako ng tykobrayderintergalacticmotionsettertechnogadget! tapos bubuuin ko na yung di armpit band tapos gagawa kami ng original kumposition ganto: dyen-dyen-den-dyen dyereren-dyen-dyen tapos double time dyen! tapos play tapos ipapadala namin sa radyo yung demo tapos tapos syempre magnanumber three na kami sa countdown tapos bebenta kami ng original composition ng payb tawsan peysos para sa compilation name digiskasbarjibabarandaspoporoji kilala nyo sya
Then, I will buy the Tykobrayder Intergalactic Motion Setter Technogadget and start a band called the Di Armpit Band. We will make an original composition that goes like this: Dyen-dyen-den-dyen dyereren-dyen-dyen, then, double time dyen! We will record a demo and send it to the radio station. Eventually, we will reach the number three spot in the countdown, and sell our original composition for one thousand pesos for the Digiskasbarjibabarandaspoporoji compilation album.


tapos syempre magnanumber one na kame tapos di bale irerelease na kame sa major label tapos magtu-tour na kame sa buong pilipinas sa buong pilipinas
Eventually, we will reach the number one spot, and a major label will release our album. We will then tour the entire Philippines.


tapos syempre kukunin na kami sa mga commercials, ganon tapos kapag dumating na yung mga royalties madaeng madae na kong pera tapos bibili ako nag tig-tu-two na kotse tapos chaka syempre di bibili na ko ng mga susunod pang album ng nirbana shet trapik nanaman sa edsa!
Then, we will be recruited for commercials. When the royalties start pouring in, I will buy two cars and, of course, I will not purchase any Nirvana album again because of traffic in EDSA.


Ah bili na lang kaya ako ng bag sa jumaliteyk mukhang mas jupengpeng yung yellowgreenred na brownies rasta ngarod manong!
Come to think of it, I should buy a bag at the Jumaliteyk since the yellow-green-red brownies look more enticing. They look like something a Rastafarian would enjoy, right?


Magpadreadlocks na lang kaya ako? Magmanage kaya ako ng banda? Magtayo ng studio? Haaahhh
Should I grow dreadlocks instead? Or maybe manage a band? Or start my own studio? *sigh*


amen? Amen! Gusto nyo? Amen! Tyak yan! Amen!
Amen? Amen! You want to, too? Amen! Definitely! Amen!
