Remembering the 'Fruitcake' of the Eraserheads

Getting my attention the other other day is the Pinoy hit 'Fruitcake' by Filipino pop-rock band Eraserheads.

The track is from the band's fourth album of the same name --- released back in 1996 under Sony BMG Music Philippines. Cameo appearance from the late master rapper Francis Magalona.

Eraserheads: Fruitcake Lyrics

There’s a fruitcake for everybody
There’s a fruitcake for everyone
There are b-sides to every story
If you decide to have some fun

Take a bite
It’s alright
There’s some brandy and star margarine to make it bright
Take a bite
It’s alright
A little loving’ and some fruit to bake
Life is a piece of cake

It’s the season for being happy
But the reason is dead and gone
If the reason for being happy
Takes a backseat when the season’s done

Just take a bite
It’s alright
Taste the taste that sent all mothers giggling in sheer delight
Take a bite
It’s alright
A little loin and some fruit to bake
Life is a piece of cake

Everybody, everywhere people do you really care
Christmas time has once again arrived
Everybody, everywhere people do you really care
Christmas time has once again arrived

Mistletoe and a little snow
But we don’t get it there at fruitcake heights
Mistletoe and a little snow
But we don’t get it there at fruitcake heights

Stars are falling down from heaven
But it’s nowhere near our town
Miracles are falling down from heaven
But it’s nowhere near our town

There’s a fruitcake in everybody
There’s a fruitcake in everyone
There are b-sides to every story
If you decide to have some fun

Just take a bite
It’s alright
Taste the taste that sent all mothers giggling in sheer delight
Take a bite
It’s alright
A little loving and some fruit to bake
Life is a piece of cake
