Description: According to Martis, the theme of this song is about the category of "Bujang Marando," a term reserved for bachelors beyond the typical age of marriage. The song lyrics will involve jokes, such as "Why is he not married"? or "How come he sleeps alone"? Padendang will sometimes use an example of someone from the audience if they know someone who fits this criterion.
