Description: This song is a perfect example of a song that Mak Sawir considered porno, and thus not fitting for saluang. The title is "Lacy Bra," which brings one's attention to matters that are taboo and shouldn't be discussed publicly. The implication of this song title is that a woman's bra and/or breasts draw attention. The texts should have a link with the beauty of women's clothing and the life and existence of a bachelor/ widower who is without a woman in his life.
