"Alapaap" (English: Skies) is a song by the Eraserheads from the album Circus. The song was the band's ninth hit single and the fourth hit single from the album. The song has been covered by 6cyclemind twice (in 2005 with Ney Dimaculangan and 2012 with Tutti Caringal). The song starts with a bass riff by Buddy Zabala.
Senator Tito Sotto called for the banning of "Alapaap" from airplay, claiming that the song promotes substance abuse. [1] The band addressed the allegations through a letter to the lawmaker. In an interview with the Philippine edition of Esquire, Buendia later admitted that the song was about cannabis, though he also maintained that it could also be interpreted otherwise. [2]
The band performed the song in their historical reunion concert last August 30, 2008, as an opening song.
The band last performed the song in their Final Set concert last March 7, 2009, wherein they played the song in a different rendition.
