"Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko" (Sing and I Will Dance) is a disco song by the Filipino group VST & Co.. Although released only as a B-side of the love song number "Ikaw ang Aking Mahal" (You Are My Love), it was one of group's biggest hits in the country. The lyrics are penned by comedian Joey de Leon and its melody by fellow comedian Vic Sotto and arranged by Lorrie Illustre.[1][2] Recorded at Cinema Audio in 1978.[2]
De Leon revealed in an interview with Lourd de Veyra on the show WASAK in a telephone call with Sotto, that Sotto sang the melody to him and he quickly wrote the lyrics in mind.[3] Librettist and Filipina actress Bibeth Orteza recalls that she was present during the recording of this song and said that she told Vic Sotto about the material, Sotto said to her that there is no way she can present it as a contemporary.[4]
In December 2016, Ballet Philippines' new dance musical of the same name featured VST & Co. songs.
