WATCH | AlDub-inspired original song goes viral on YouTube


Hot on the heels of the upcoming Philippine tour of American country star Bryan White, who suddenly developed a strong fan base as a result of his 15-year-old song’s association with the phenomenal love team known as AlDub, a trio of local musicians have decided to upload their own unofficial theme song for Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza a.k.a. Yaya Dub.

Written and performed by PhilPop 2012 finalist Keiko Necesario (“3 A.M.”) and YouTube sibling sensations The Antonio Duo, the playful pop ditty simply titled “The AlDub Song” was completed one Saturday afternoon later according to a post by Keiko on her Facebook page.

Keiko later told InterAksyon that the collaboration was initiated by Andrai who apparently has a big crush on Yaya Dub.

“Since I personally find AlDub to be really cool and nakakalig naman talaga, I said game ako. Actually wala kaming time halos because we’re all busy but we managed to squeeze some limited time that Saturday and got together at Andrai’s art studio at around 4PM in Quezon City then went to work right away. Two hours later, the song was finished. Hindi pa rin namin gamay yung song pero thankfully we were able to record and upload the completed video by midnight.”

With a chorus that goes, “Parapap-papa AlDub you…Sasabihin mo rin kaya, Maalden kita,” the song is basically a duet between Keiko and Isaiah Antonio. Isaiah’s brother, Andrai, joins them to rap the middle verse that starts with “Ano mang pagsubok ni Lola Nidora/Plywood, swimming pool, at kahit ano pa/Pag-ibig na tunay, hindi matatalo…”

To date, the video of the trio’s acoustic performance has garnered over 160,000 views since it was first uploaded to YouTube last September 19. In her latest post, Keiko promised that a studio recording of the song will be released soon.

“We actually finished the recording and are now on the mixing stage. And yes, we’ve been approached by three record labels for this so far,” Keiko happily revealed.
