SuperMouse and the Robo-Rats is a 1989 Filipino sci-fi comedy film starring Joey de Leon. The movie blended action, humor, and fantasy, following a wacky yet adventurous storyline involving robotic rats and a mouse-themed hero. During the late '80s and early '90s, Joey de Leon was known for his unique brand of comedy and parodies, making this film a fun and entertaining entry in his career. SuperMouse and the Robo-Rats catered to Filipino audiences who enjoyed lighthearted, slapstick humor mixed with absurd yet imaginative storytelling. Though not as mainstream as other blockbuster hits, the film remains a nostalgic piece of Philippine pop culture, especially for fans of Joey de Leon’s comedic style.

​

One of the most memorable elements of the film was its soundtrack, particularly the song DAGA, performed by Joey de Leon himself. A parody of the song Aba Daba Honeymoon (Two Weeks with Love-1950), DAGA was a humorous and catchy take on rodents, playfully describing a pet rat’s love for pancit and even joking about a mouse named “Miki Mouse” who later becomes “Miki Rat” due to an unfortunate slingshot incident. With its absurd lyrics and signature Joey de Leon comedic wit, the song became a fun and silly addition to the movie’s charm. The final verses even humorously reflect on the role of mice in the ecosystem—linking them to cats, dogs, and even carnival games. Even decades later, DAGA remains one of Joey de Leon’s quirky musical creations, remembered by fans of his comedic genius.

Lyrics:

Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Ako ay mayro'ng alaga
Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Siya'y mahilig sa pancit
Basta't pancit na mahaba
Ang lagi niyang nginangata
Lalo na'ng miki
Kaya siya ay Miki Mouse (Nyaah!)
Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Ako ay mayro'ng alaga
Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Ang mata'y medyo maga
Minsan siya'y natirador
Sa mata siya ay nasapol 
Ngayon ang tawag sa kanya ay Miki Rat (May kirat) 
(nyaah!)
Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Daga'y nakatutuwa
Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Minsa'y nakakaawa
Lagi lang siyang nasa lungga
Di makalaro ng bata 
at sa gabi lang kung siya ay bumaba 

(Squeaking)

Paano kung walang daga ay wala rin ang pusa
at kung wala ring cat, aso ay walang s'yota
Paano kung walang daga  ay wala ring karnabal
'Pagkat mawawala ang karera ng daga!

Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Ako ay mayro'ng alaga
Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Siya'y mahilig sa pancit
Basta't pancit na mahaba
Ang lagi niyang nginangata
Lalo na'ng miki
Kaya siya ay Miki Mouse (Nyaah!)

Ah daga, daga, daga, daga, daga, daga!
Minsa'y nakakaawa
Lagi lang siyang nasa lungga

(squeaking)

Ang ibig kong sabihin, 
ang isa sa amin ay daga!
