Here’s why ‘Tiny Bubbles’ triggered your LSS

Is it just us or?

When PNP Chief Guillermo Eleazar announced the implementation of ‘tiny bubbles’ during the 2-week Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila, we collectively went ‘Wait, where have we heard that term before?’

All we could associate with the term is a lullaby-sounding tune, followed by a butchering of the lyrics. ‘Tiny bubbles…tunturuuun’. Freestyling aside, if you do have a bad case of LSS right now, you can probably blame your titos and titas.

‘Tiny Bubbles’ and Nora Aunor

To be really accurate, ‘Tiny Bubbles’ is a song originally performed by American musician Don Ho, and was released in the 1966 album of the same name.

Considered as Ho’s signature song, the track was covered by then 18-year-old Nora Aunor in 1971 as part of her album Blue Hawaii. Yes, before she screamed ‘Walang himala!’ and starred in various dramas and films, Nora Aunor started as a singer after winning Tawag ng Tanghalan in 1967.

Aunor’s album also included the similar-sounding and equally iconic cover of Pearly Shells. And as with anything that the Filipino icon touched during the 70s, the album became a best-seller, catapulting its singles into popularity.

The tune you’re probably familiar with is Aunor’s, who opted for a more melodic take, in contrast with Don Ho’s traditional pop (aka Frank Sinatra-ish) version. You can see the comparisons below.

For the freestylers out there, the first verse goes ‘Tiny bubbles / In the wine / Make me happy / Make me feel wine’. So yes, while it might make you think of underwater dives or snorkeling, the song is actually about getting tipsy.

A staple at the next chillnuman, perhaps?
