"Alapaap" (English: "Clouds") is a song by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads from their second album Circus (1994).
Along with other Philippine rock songs at the time such as "Iskolar ng Bayan" by Yano and "Laklak" by Teeth, "Alapaap" became a subject of controversy due to its suggestive lyrics, which Senator Tito Sotto saw as promoting drug use.
Sotto, who was a member of the Citizens' Drug Watch, called for the song to be banned from radio in August 1995.
[1] The band responded with a letter to the senator stating that it was a misinterpretation and that the song was their "ode to freedom", not drug abuse.
[2] In a 2012 Esquire article, Buendia confirmed that the song did allude to drug use but at the same time maintained that it can also be interpreted otherwise.
