Monty is the hefty frontman of the band and is definitely a large person so Mayonnaise does get recognized and remembered because of this not-quite-tiny detail. But after the fact lies what the audience take home with them after watching Mayonnaise perform - guitar-driven tunes with ultra-catchy hooks and compelling lyrics. Radio listeners seem to agree, as airplay of their first single The Only Thing, and the current, Eddie Song, are steadily rising. And the songs are what the band attributes to winning 2004's Red Horse Muziklaban.
The current line-up is actually the third, as member changes had been inevitable in the band's history. Some of the songs have been around that long, but in different versions. The songs change with each change in the line-up, as each new member brings their own input and flavor to the song. The original Bakit was written in 1999, back when there were only three members in the band and Monty was, he jokes, fifty pounds lighter. Then they made an acoustic number of bakit, which didn't sit well with Monty, who missed the rockier version. Hence, Bakit Part One and Bakit Part Two. The Part Two is a new song all together, while Bakit Part One is the new version of the original.
From the emotional depth of the songs, you would think that Monty is either very depressed or a serious guy with a giant chip on his shoulder. It will then surprise you that Monty is quite the comedian, cracking jokes every five minutes, especially when you least expect it. Monty kids around as easy as breathing, sending his bandmates, and anyone else within earshot, into constant hysterical laughter. It's a bit difficult to reconcile the charming joker with the pained and angry guy singing his guts out on The Only Thing or Bakit.
Of the songs in the album, the most lighthearted would be the current single, Eddie Song, which Monty claims was written as a tribute to his driver, who, after two years in employment, has become one of Monty's closest confidantes and gives some of the best advice ever.
When Monty is upset, he doesn't dwell; he writes. And when the creativity kicks in, he can write a lot in such a short time. Monty writes about his experiences, mostly about love. Around 75% is about love. Mostly unhappy love songs. Like Jopay is about the sex bomb dancer, but not really. It's about a really bad fight with a girl Monty once loved and felt really messed up. Jopay was the first person he saw on TV and he thought, how great to be her. Jopay doesn't even sound like he was feeling down and broken-hearted and can be mistaken for a charming and witty song with a spot-on Pinoy pop culture reference.
Tayo Na Lang Dalawa

Parang wala namang pupuntahan
Ayoko na ng ganito
Nahihirapan na ang puso ko
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo nalang magsama
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo nalang mag sama
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo naman talaga
Hindi ko maintindhan
Tila tayo'y paulit-ulit lang
Ayoko na ng ganito
Nasisira na ang ulo ko
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo nalang magsama
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo naman talaga
Tayo na lang dalawa
Tayo nalang mag sama
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo naman talaga
Kung iisipin mo
Di naman yun talo
Sino bang ang niloloko mo
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo nalang magsama
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo naman talaga
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo nalang mag sama
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo naman talaga
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo nalang magsama
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo naman talaga
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo nalang mag sama
Tayo nalang dalawa
Tayo naman talaga
Ayaw mo ba talaga
Ayaw mo bang magsama
Ayaw mo lang talaga
Ayaw mo ba talaga
Ayaw mo bang talaga
Ayaw mo nang magsama
Ayaw mo lang talaga
Gusto mo kasi dalawa
The lyrics of Mayonnaise's song "Tayo Na Lang Dalawa" expresses a longing for a deeper connection between two individuals who seem to be going around in circles. The first stanza tells of confusion and frustration, as the singer cannot understand the direction their relationship is going in, and their heart is beginning to hurt. The chorus then takes on a hopeful note, with the singer suggesting that maybe they should just stick together and figure things out between the two of them, that they should be together because that is what they truly want. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this message, that the two of them should be united in trying to salvage their bond.
The second verse reinforces the message of the first, highlighting how the relationship seems to be stuck in a perpetual cycle, which is driving the singer nuts. They become agitated, wanting to escape the cycle and find a way to move forward. The chorus repeats again, this time stressing that the singer isn't losing anything by putting their all into the relationship. The bridge further emphasizes this theme, as the singer prods their partner by stating that they aren't fooling them, that they both know the importance of being together.
Overall, "Tayo Na Lang Dalawa" is a lament for a relationship that seems to be going nowhere. The singer is keen on making it work, but they feel like they are the only ones putting in the effort. The chorus rings out strong, suggesting that if they could just stick together and work on their issues, it would be worth it.
