Eraserheads was formed in 1989 by four students from the University of the Philippines taking its name after the David Lynch movie Eraserhead. The group performed regularly at campus gigs and at Club Dredd on Timog Avenue, Quezon City, Metro Manila, a now-defunct club popular in the '90s which served as a breeding ground for many Filipino Alternative Rock acts. The group submitted a demo to RJFM, but were immediately turned down as their music did not fit the classic pop-rock format of the station. Fortunately, BMG Records-Pilipinas snatched them up and released their debut affort "ultraelectromagneticpop" under their newly formed "Musiko" label. Their debut album was comprised mainly of ska-tinged pop hooks layed down on a traditional guitar-bass-drums foundation.

Shirley Lyrics
Eraserheads
In love nanaman si Shirley
Sa binatang maganda ang kotse
Sila'y nag-date sa may Antipolo kagabi
Lagi na siyang naka-dress ng eskwela
Nakaayos palagi ang buhok niya
Lumulutang sa ulap pag naglalakad sa kalye
Chorus:
Ganyan main-lab lab lab lab(4x)
Ganyan main-lab
The next week magsyota na sila
Magkaholding hands papunta sa C.A.S.A.A.
Kung maglandian akala mo'y walang katabi
(Repeat chorus)
instrumental
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
Ngunit isang araw sa may SM sila'y nagaway
Nagtampuhan may iyakan hanggang sa maubos ang laway
Hiwalay silang umuwi at sila'y nagbreak
After three days nag-ring ang telepono ni Shierly
Si binata ngayo'y nag-sorry ilang minuto na lang
Sila'y mag-on na uli
(Repeat Chorus till fade)
