On November 21, 1997, Yolly Samson died from complications of brain cancer, aged 41.[4] On August 4, 2016, Snaffu Rigor died of lung cancer.^[5]

Language

The band wrote their songs in Taglish (code-switching between Tagalog and English) and street jargon that was popular in urban areas during the 1970s.

For example, in the song "T.L. Ako Sa'yo", Cinderella used the word "dehins", formed from hindi ("no"). It is Tagalog street jargon which reverses the word, thereby making it sound like it is English. Also as previously mentioned, the acronym "T.L." stands for "True Love".

The title of the song "Ang Boyfriend Kong Baduy" is also in Taglish, as are its lyrics:

• ...but when we go out dating na, kulay ng polo niya'y pula... ("but when we already go out dating, the colour of his shirt is red")
• ...but when the guests go dancing na, lagi pa syang nauuna... ("but when the guests already go dancing, he's always first")
• ...'di ko ma-take ang gusto. Siya ay in-na-in, ngunit out pa rin... ("I can't stand his tastes. He's so in but still so out")

In the song "Ang Boypren Ko", the word "boypren" is an alteration of the English "boyfriend"; the title literally means "My Boyfriend".

The song "Sana'y Maging Steady Mo" translates to "I Wish I Could Be Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend". In this context, the word "steady" is used as a noun that refers to one's boyfriend or girlfriend.
