Modelong Charing [2]

I believe that the story behind this song really exists in our society. It’s not that hard to imagine how gay people, especially those who really dress and look like a real woman, hide their utmost secret because of their fears. They fear that no man will really accept and love them when they realize that they are actually gay. This is probably one of the reasons why some men have started to become more and more suspicious with the girls they are dating. Some men really know that they are going out with a gay person (and they are okay with it), while the others remain are very clueless. Going back to the case of Modelong Charing, who do you think is the real victim? Is it the Japanese who thought that he fell in love with a woman, or is it Modelong Charing who was beaten up for belonging to the third sex? What if from the beginning, the Japanese already knew that Modelong Charing is gay, will he still fall in love for her? Oh well, no one would really know.

And oh! by the way, notice how Filipinos tend to be a bit naughty when they play with the lyrics of novelty songs such as the abovementioned. In the last stanza, it says there that Modelong Charing ends up selling itlog and talong which are both representations of a man's sexual organ. Hmmm.... very naughty modelong charing huh? hahaha!

Here’s the complete lyrics of the song “Modelong Charing”


Ako ay isang model
Duon sa Ermita
Gabi-gabi sa disco
At nagpapabongga

Sa pagka-istariray
Talbog lahat sila
Ang mga foreigner
Ay nagkakandarapa
Pag ako'y sumayaw na

Ako'y may nakilala
Mestizo na hapon
Na-in-love siya sa akin
Type niyang gawing girlfriend

Ako'y niregaluhan
Bahay, lupa't datung
Ang 'di lang niya alam
At 'di ko nasabi
Na ako'y isang..."DARNA! DARNA! DARNA!"

Ang iniingat-ingatan ko
Ang ugat, lawit at muscle ko
Na tinatagu-tago ko pa
Sa twing kami'y magkasama

Ako'y nananalangin
Na sana'y manawari
'Wag sanang mabuking
Nakatali kong akin
Na ubod nang itim!

Ang iniingat-ingatan ko
Ang ugat, lawit at muscle ko
Na tinatagu-tago ko pa
Sa twing kami'y magkasama

Kami'y biglang nagkita
Nang 'di sinasadya
Sa restroom ng lalake
Doon sa Megamall

Napatingin siya sa 'kin
Ako'y napahiya
Sa galit ng hapon
Inumbag niya ako

"Bakero! Wat is dat?!"
"Just like yours, papa."
Sira ang byuti ko

Binawi pang lahat
Bahay, lupa't datung
Ng nobyo kong hapon

Kaya ang byuti ko ngayon
Nagtitinda na lang
Ng itlog at talong
