There was a time when a certain Ely Buendia was known as Jesus "Dizzy" Ventura, in a band known as The Mongols. Pero syempre, alam naman ng lahat na si Ely yun. And the band's name obviously made for some interesting talk as one can connect the name, The Mongols, to the name of Buendia's previous band, The Eraserheads (and I won't bother explaining that, that should be obvious.) Heck, you can even stretch it to include Ely's current band, Pupil.
It was no surprise when Ely denied any connections between the names, and yeah, whatever reason he gave most likely is legit. But I doubt that it never occurred to him that there are connections, and I think he knows them, and went with it despite those. Whether it is for some kind of tribute or a back handed compliment is anyone's guess.
Moving on, may ilan ding magagandang kanta ang The Mongols. Compared to songs by Pupil, The Mongols sounded more like the EHeads. One of those songs is Bakit Nga Ba (video embeded below).
Really, bakit nga ba? Bakit nga ba may bakit nga ba? I wish sometimes I can just stop thinking "bakit nga ba?". Think less, act more, just like one of Barney's many advice to Ted.
Anyway, that's that. I'll just leave you with the video, and this one line that I particularly like.
Bakit ba tumatalon sa tuwa, kapag ikaw ay nandiyan na?
