Controversy

The single and the album was nearly censored by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) due to the Tagalog profanity "‘Tang Ina" (Filipino slang whose rough English equivalent is son of a bitch, shortened from 'Putang Ina'). Swear words were unheard of in Philippine music at the time,[1] and as such their record label asked them to record a radio edit of the song; they retitled it "Walang Hiyang Pare Ko", where "Tang Ina" was changed to "'Lang Hiya". It can also be found in Ultraelectromagneticpop! but not in the remastered 25th anniversary version of the album.

Covers

The song was adapted into a Star Cinema movie in 1994 starring Claudine Barretto, Gwapings members Mark Anthony Fernandez and Jomari Yllana along with Jao Mapa, Victor Neri and Gio Alvarez.[2][3]

On the June 2, 2019, episode of Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, this was played as the background music.
