Their brand of music is influenced by a wide variety of genres (ranging from rock, funk, blues, classical, etc), best interpreted as something a little bit on the heavy side. Lyrics range from the nonsensical to the stupefying things pertaining to Philippine society but always humorous for those able to comprehend.
In short, they are a humor/comedy/whatever band out to amuse others (as well as themselves) yet prove a certain level of quality musicianship.
Psycho
Giniling Festival Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Umiiyak at may pasa
Ginulpi ako at binugbog ng aking syota
Sobra na, hayop sya
Naglalakad ako nang may nakitang babae
Nakatingin sa akin, nagbigay ng flying kiss
Sinalo ko at kumindat pabalik
CHORUS
Sampal at dagok, flying kick at batok
`Di pa tapos, dinagdagan pa nya uli
Kagat ng aso, sipang kabayo
`Di ko na kaya, ayoko na, oh yeah
Mahal ko sya ngunit psycho sya
Mahal ko sya ngunit psycho sya
INTERLUDE
Laking gulo ang dulot sa akin
`Di pa nga mag-asawa
Sakit sa bulsa, perwisyo ang aking syota
Sobra na, hayop sya
Nakasakay sa bus nang may pumarang babae
Siya ay nakasabit kaya`t `di ko natiis
Pinaupo ko sa kandungan ko
Kaya lang kasama ko pala ang girlfriend ko
[Repeat CHORUS]
Yeah
AD LIB
[Repeat CHORUS]
Mahal ko sya kahit psycho sya
Mahal ko sya dahil psycho sya

Umuwi akong putok ang labi
I came home with swollen lips
Umiiyak at may pasa
I'm crying and have bruises
Ginulpi ako at binugbog ng aking syota
My significant other beat and battered me
Sobra na, hayop sya
Enough is enough, they're an animal
Naglalakad ako nang may nakitang babae
I was walking when I saw a woman
Nakatingin sa akin, nagbigay ng flying kiss
She looked at me and blew a kiss
Sinalo ko at kumindat pabalik
I caught it and flirted back
`Di ko alam nasa likod ko ang girlfriend ko
I didn't know my girlfriend was behind me
Sampal at dagok, flying kick at batok
Slaps and hits, flying kicks and punches
`Di pa tapos, dinagdagan pa nya uli
She wasn't done, she added more
Kagat ng aso, sipang kabayo
Dog bites, horse kicks
`Di ko na kaya, ayoko na, oh yeah
I can't take it anymore, I don't want to, oh yeah
Mahal ko sya ngunit psycho sya
I love her but she's a psycho
Laking gulo ang dulot sa akin
It caused me a lot of trouble
`Di pa nga mag-asawa
We're not even married yet
Sakit sa bulsa, perwisyo ang aking syota
It's painful on my wallet, my significant other is a nuisance
Nakasakay sa bus nang may pumarang babae
I was on the bus when a stranger sat on my lap
Siya ay nakasabit kaya`t `di ko natiis
She was standing so I couldn't resist
Pinaupo ko sa kandungan ko
I sat her on my lap
Kaya lang kasama ko pala ang girlfriend ko
But my girlfriend was with me the whole time
Yeah
Yeah
Mahal ko sya kahit psycho sya
I love her even though she's a psycho
Mahal ko sya dahil psycho sya
I love her because she's a psycho
