UltraElectroMagneticPop!
''Ultraelectromagneticpop!'' (stylized as ''ultraelectromagneticpop!'') is the debut studio album of the Filipino rock band, Eraserheads. It was released by BMG Records (Pilipinas) Inc. in July 1993.

Pare Ko
Pare Ko (English: "My Pal") is a song by the Eraserheads. It was included in their debut album, ''Ultraelectromagneticpop!''. It was the band's third hit single.

Swear words were unheard of in Philippine music at the time, 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. Covers * APO Hiking Society covered the song in 2001 for their ...
