"Super Mouse and the Roborats" is a 1989 Filipino action-comedy-fantasy film directed by Tony Y. Reyes and starring Joey de Leon as Mickey. The story follows Mickey, a young man who discovers he possesses extraordinary powers and learns that he is the son of the malevolent Master Robo-Rat, leader of the Robo-Rat clan intent on world domination. Faced with this revelation, Mickey must choose between siding with his father's nefarious plans or defending the human race he has grown to love. The film features a cast including Rene Requiestas, Manilyn Reynes, and Carmina Villaroel, and blends elements of action, comedy, and fantasy. ​

​

The movie's theme song, titled "Daga," was written and performed by Joey de Leon. Set to the tune of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," the song humorously presents the perspective of a mouse lamenting its unfavorable treatment by humans. The lyrics express the mouse's desire for acceptance and suggest that, instead of conflict, both parties should "say cheese and smile." This playful approach aligns with the film's comedic tone and adds a musical element to its narrative.

Wag mong isipin yan my friend
(Super Mouse and the Roborats (1989)
By Henyo Master Joey de Leon

​

I am just a poor daga
nakatira ako kahit saang lungga
pero may tiyaga ito
Ayaw kaming gawing alaga ng tao

Bakit kaya were not welcome in your house
Just like the mosquitoes and the flies bawal ang mouse
'Wag naman ganyan oh 
Pa'no naman kaming daga kung wala rin 

Kawawa ang daga di magkandaugaga
kaya naninira hilo sa tao
ngatngat nang ngatngat siya'y tensiyonado

"wag mong isipin 'yan my friend
Away ng tao at daga'y magdi-The End
Payo ko sa'yo ay Eat cheese na lang ikaw
palagi kaibigan
Say cheese and smile

(instrumental)

"wag mong isipin 'yan my friend
Away ng tao at daga'y magdi-The End
Payo ko sa'yo ay Eat cheese na lang ikaw
palagi kaibigan
Say cheese and smile
