Question
Hey hey,

I'm trying to find some old 80's music I remember hearing in some "classic" Filipino films and I'm wondering if you can help me. Here are a few songs:

"Tonight". I think this was in an old movie called "Jack and Poy" with Marciel Soriano and Roderick Paulate.

"Shake, body body dancer"...I think was in Jack and Poy also.

I'm also looking for "Swiss Boy".


Marameng salamat!

Answer
Dear Chris,

You still remember the good ol' days of Mother Lily's countless musical comedy movies. I believe you were talking about TONIGHT by KEN LASZLO, BODY DANCER by MAGIC FIRE and SWISS BOY by LOU SERN, all from 1986. I don't have the lyrics readily available of the first two songs but I do have the lyrics of SWISS BOY right away.

SWISS BOY / LOU SERN

Time is ticking and there's nothing I can do
My heart is aching and my love is all for you
Fighting time isn't the right situation
Bite your mind now my heart is broken
I can't find my way
Now I'm kicking 'cause I'm think I'm losing you
I feel like bitching but I'm always nice to you
He knows the way using his infatuation
Every day spending all his money
Just to make you stay
Swiss boy, you're in love with a Swiss boy
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Swiss boy, spend your time with a Swiss boy
You don't know what I'm going through
Cuckoo clocks are the best things he can do
When he talks he can yodel like Swiss do
Took his time changing the old situation
You're not mine now I've really lost you
I can only pray

Maraming Salamat po!
