Bananatype is the second extended play by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads, released on June 1997 through BMG Records (Pilipinas), Inc. It serves as promotional material for the band’s fifth album Sticker Happy, which was released three months later.
Composition
The promotional EP contains three new songs not included in Sticker Happy. Its lead single “Harana” is a psychedelic, “modernist take” on the titular Philippine serenade. The title track, written by Ely Buendia and his friend Romel “Sancho” Sanchez, has hip-hop and funk elements and segues into “I Can’t Remember You”, which was inspired by a nursery rhyme made up by Buendia’s younger sisters Lally and Elyra.[1]
Bananatype also features two previously unreleased songs. “Police Woman” was originally written by drummer Raimund Marasigan for the 1995 film Run Barbi Run, along with the title track (which was used in the final film) and the still unreleased “Bootleg”. “Tikman” was written in 1994 as a commercial jingle for Burger Machine, with its lyrics containing sexual innuendo.[2]
