Answer
Dear Gerry,

Pardon me but I don't have a complete list of Eat Bulaga! dance contests. I can only remember some that are recent and poular. I vaguely remember THE WALK and the CYCLING PUNK. As for METALLIC GIGOLO, it was sung by a group called HIGH FREQUENCY. I don't know if they have an album because it was included on a dance compilation album locally released for the contest. I do not have any info about the band.

As for the OPM song THIS IS NOT AMERIKA, it was performed by LOKAL BROWN. LOKAL BROWN was formed by ED FORMOSO in 1988. It was an all-star band composed of PENDONG ABAN, LOLITA CARBON & the late CESAR "SARO" BANARES of ASIN, CHICOY PURA & BINKY LAMPANO among others.

Maraming salamat po!
