'Halukay Ube' or 'Spageti'? SexBomb songs beloved by generations of Pinoys

MANILA, Philippines, January 17 ------ If you ever wondered why the SexBomb Girls remain well-loved, look no further than their over 20-year discography that includes songs that continue to be sung, sampled, covered, and danced to this day.

The SexBomb Girls have some of the most iconic hits that still enjoy popularity among their very first batch of listeners, who are mostly millennials. It is safe to assume that due to exposure to their parents' love for the Filipino sing-and-dance girl group, Gen Z and Gen Alpha are most probably aware of SexBomb songs. Thus, it is no wonder that from the initial struggles to find a producer for their reunion concert, the SexBomb Girls now face the happy problem of mounting several reunion shows.

After their two sold-out reunion concerts last December, SexBomb is scheduled to perform again for two shows on February 6 and 7 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. "Sabi n'yo gawin na raw parang 'Daisy Siete' hanggang RAWND 26," Rochelle wrote in a social media post, referencing the long-running show that starred the SexBomb Girls. "'Yung iba gusto pa sa EDSA gawin para kasya ang lahat — bakla kayo HAHAHA," Rochelle added.

The actress pointed out that it was no joke performing in back-to-back days, but still acknowledged fans' calls. "Baka… BAKA… pwedeng gawan ng paraan," Rochelle ended. "Kalma lang muna. Abang-abang. Walang bitawan." Rochelle serves as the leader of the group, who has successfully transitioned into acting apart from the group's 26 seasons of "Daisy Siete." But before the two more reunion concerts, Philstar.com lists down the SexBomb hit songs that bring back the nostalgia among millennials and their young fans alike. "Bakit Papa?" and "The Spageti Song" are arguably the songs that immediately come to mind when one thinks of the SexBomb girls.

A ditty that features a girl coming to terms with a failed relationship, its playful tone is opposite to its message of heartbreak and moving on. "Bakit Papa?" is the first hit song of the SexBomb Girls when they were launched as a singing group in 2002. It is the first of the many songs written by Lito Camo for the SexBomb Girls. Its popularity even spawned a film of the same title released in the same year that starred the SexBomb Girls with Richard Gutierrez, Chynna Ortaleza, and Wendell Ramos.

'The Spageti Song'

Who does not know this iconic song with its fun choreography? SexBomb's "The Spageti Song" is so popular that it continues to be covered to this day. The steps are easy and make for a fun Zumba or exercise session with its familiar moves from a popular street game called the Chinese Garter. It is a popular sing-and-dance tune where the girls gyrate as they sing the LSS-inducing lyrics: "Ispagheting pababa, pababa nang pababa / Ispageting pataas, pataas nang pataas." Released in 2003, "The Spageti Song" is another song by Camo in collaboration with host-comedian Joey de Leon.

'Halukay Ube'

After the success of "The Spageti Song," SexBomb and Joey de Leon made another collaboration with "Halukay Ube." Another Camo song, "Halukay Ube" remains a popular SexBomb song with its dancy tunes that make any listeners move to its beat while the girls sing one of their iconic lines: "Get get aww!"

'Di Ko Na Mapipigilan'

Also composed by Camo, "Di Ko Na Mapipigilan" was inspired by Eurobeat artist Sophie's "Stop The Music." It is another dance favorite for those early morning Zumba sessions.

'Pretty Little Baby'

SexBomb Girls was way ahead in reviving one of 2025's viral revival "Pretty Little Baby." Again arranged by Camo, SexBomb's "Pretty Little Baby" is a 2002 Taglish ditty that samples the 1962 hit of Connie Francis.

'Daisy Siete'

While they are more known for their upbeat dance tunes, SexBomb also delved into slower numbers. SexBomb, of course, sang the theme song of their very own long-running afternoon drama "Daisy Siete." The drama, which aired right after the noontime show "Eat Bulaga," premiered in September 2003. The series concluded in July 2010 with a total of 26 seasons.
