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.

Toyang Lyrics
Eraserheads
They try to tell us where too young
Too young to really be in love
Refrain:
Bahay namin maliit lamang
Pero pero pero malinis 'to pati sa kusina
Kumain man kami laging sama-sama
Pen-pen-pen de sarapen
De kutsilyo de almasen
Haw-haw-haw de karabaw
De karabaw de batuten
Pengeng singko pambilbi ng puto
Sa mga tindera ng bitsu-bitsu
Skyflakes,coke 500 pahingi ng kiss
Pambayad mo sa jeepney kulang pa ng diyes
Chorus:
Mahal ko si Toyang
'pagkat siya'y simple lamang
Kahit namumrublema
Basta't kami ay magkasama
Madalas man kaming walang pera
Makita lang ang kislap ng kanyang mga mata
Ako ay busog na
At nakatambay kami sa Tandang Sora
Ti ayat ti masya nga baro
Ken balasang nataina
Uray man uray man uray man
Haan unay nga nadonya
(repeat refrain chorus)
Coda:
We were not too young at all wohh...
