Kaliwete (Eraserheads song)

"Kaliwete" (English: "Left-Handed") is a song by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads.

The song is part of a trilogy of tracks from Sticker Happy written by Ely Buendia that are centered on handedness, which include “Kananete” ("right-handed") and “Ambi Dextrose” (a pun on "ambidextrous").

In a track-by-track article for the band's official magazine Pillbox in 1998, Buendia recounted how the songs were written: I was at this birthday party in Kamuning and I was a bit drunk.

I think some people started talking about lefties and righties, and so just to keep things interesting, I announced that I had already written songs about it, even though I hadn't.

It features the band performing with "quirky props" such as light bulbs used as microphones, a toilet bowl with a speaker inside, and a dentist's chair.
