Sisikat Ka Iha - by Bita and the Botflies

Special thanks to Kevin Dayrit's team and Michelle Palomo for the music video, and to Aaron Gonzales and Daniel Garcia of PointBee Multimedia for the music production.

-----

Sisikat Ka Iha is a disturbing but all too common story. We decided to tell this through the perspective of a predator posing as an agent to emphasize the objectification of women in this story.

Lyrics:

I.
Halika na
Pirmahan ang kontrata
Isukong sarili, wag nang babalik
Sisikat ka iha

Sa iyong ganda sila’y mapapasamba
Sa iyong kinis sila’y manginginig

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
Hanggang mawala ang iyong kaba

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
Hanggang malasing sa kanilang hiyaw

II.
Halika na
Maraming nakapila
Sundin mo lang anong gusto nila
Bumebenta ka iha

Sa iyong haplos sila’y mapapasaya
Mga malulungkot at nag-iisa

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
Hanggang malasing sa kanilang hiyaw

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
Hanggang mawala ang iyong hiya

III.
Samantalahin mo na habang bata ka pa
Kung kulubot na, wala na kaming paki sayo

Samantalahin habang bata ka pa
Kung kulubot na, wala ka nang saysay dito

Sayaw, sayaw
Wala na kaming paki sayo

Sayaw, sayaw
Wala ka nang saysay dito

IV.
Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
May papalit kami sayo

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
May bago nang paborito

The artist used the devil as the one talking or singing to represent how predators can come in many forms preying on young girls for money and fame. Funny how some people dont get the message and accused the artist as evil, when in fact this is a good educational material. Hope more intelligent people and educators can use this to explain how evil and predators can disguise in many forms to prey on the young and innocent.
Love and respect for Bita and the Botflies ❤❤❤

Dalawang interpretasyon ko sa kantang to.

1. Tungkol sa malungkot na katutuhanan sa showbiz. Mga taong napangakuang sisikat, isinasakripisyo ang lahat para sa kasikatan [isukong sarili, wag nang babalik]
Basta may itsura, pwede ka sumikat. 'Tutulungan' o itinutulak ng nakakataas para mas makilala.
[Sayaw, sayaw
Hanggang mawala ang iyong hiya]
Kapag sumikat o nakilala ka na, tiyak na matutuwa ang 'management', pero pansamantala lang. Sa bilis ng daloy sa industriya ng showbiz, di mo na namamalayan na wala na sa'yo ang 'spotlight'. Pag yan nangyari, mabilis ka na lang mapalitan, wala nang paki sa'yo, may bago nang paborito. Kumbaga, "thank you, next!"

2. Tungkol sa isang bayarang babae. Siguro mayroon din namumuno sa kanya na pinipiling gawin ito, pinapasayaw, sinasabing sundin ang gusto ng mga tao. Dahil sa kanya, nabibigyan ng panandaliang kasiyahan ang mga nalulungkot at nag iisa. Maaaring karamihan dito ay medyo mga bata-bata pa, nakakalungkot kung menor de edad ang sangkot.

Ganda ng video hnngggg, tapos 'yong kanta pa, hay shucks. Looking forward to moreee ~

[ChewyTabs]

Wow. A filipino song thats not about love.

Thats pretty damn rare my guy, instant like.

[coolynong]

This is so creepy in the sense na, it's actually a part of reality.

[TeenTalks_STEM]

This isn't creepy but the fact that the lyrics serving as a reflection of what's really happening out there makes it *creepy* and *sad*

[dotdot]

TAGAL NIYO NAMAN SUMIKAT GUSTO KO NA KAYONG MAG

[Keebiii_]

She's her own sound, not filipino version of Melanie Martinez. :/

[ClaroTheIII]

Where can I hear more from Bita and the Botflies? Na click ko lang ramdomly. ANG HALIMAW <3

[itunes]

bago sumikat itong kanta ni batb, i just want to tell you na wag kang magpapagamit, self respect is beautiful if you take notice on it. don't satisfy others, fame and money is nothing compare to love and respect.

[kookypokey]

weird vocals, killer bass, weird voices in the background.. artistic and truthful video. Cant wait for the next song

[breakdlaw]

Btw, ako lang ba o sadyang kamukha ng demonyo ung kalaban ng powerpuff girls dati? 😅

Oh my, 1k? Thank you guys! Sana napa throwback kayo dahil sa comment ko. 😂

[AndreaResontoc-acg]

People claiming that the band are "worshiping demons" and is creepy or something just can't accept the reality of our society. It is disturbing because they hit it hard where it should be. This is what a content is. This is what music should be. Oh and please, toxic men are dirtying the comment section, get out of here, you're disrespecting this masterpiece, find other bands that can satisfy your fragile masculinity and ego.


I just met this band and I'm so impressed love ko na kayo agad, I'm stanning. The vocals, the bass, arrangement, the song, lyrics, I can go on and Kudos 1000x I can't express how I love this band, feeling ko na love at first sight ako nafall agad! haha I look forward to your future songs! Wish to see you again pooo!

[pagodnaayan]

Sadly, the Philippines is still not ready for this until now, ang dami pa ring groomers at enablers.

[Sal-]

Napaka-weird at eccentric ng mvs nila pero unique at the same time. Amazing rin talaga mga kanta nila dahil may mga messages talaga. Underrated sila masyado huhu

[Ice-jvqf]

Melanie martinez like voice + tanya markova vibes + dark themed music i love you guys sana marami pang ma release na songs niyo

[kryzzylmaulas]

OPM songs mostly about heartbreak and failed relationship. This is a gem

[jessiecordova]

"Ayaw" by Syd Hartha brought me here.Her songs sound like this one.

[avocado]

Now imagine all those idols and models you've probably never heard of maybe till dis day they are still being manipulated, blackmailed, abused, etc.
