Sige'g Taxi (Solo Version) (video)

Since my cousin Marlou was not available the past weekend, I decided to carry on with a solo version of this Cebuano interpolation. I admit it would have been more fun if both of us were around for this one, but nonetheless, here's a video of me performing this parody of Girls' Generation's "Mr. Taxi." Enjoy!

If you didn't already know, our duo version (we call ourselves The Raleses) can be heard and downloaded here. Check it out!

OPC Song Picks [2011.7.17]

I was amazed when I stumbled upon this song by David DiMuzio. Though he is an American singer/songwriter, he has a track with a chorus sung in Filipino! Check out his video for “Naiisip Mo Ba,” which is this week’s sole new entry on the list that follows.

OPC Song Picks [Q2 2011]

The second quarter of the year is through, so it's now time to recall this blog's song picks from April to June. After trailing Miranda Cosgrove in Q1, Avril Lavigne finishes first this time as her single "Smile" topped the May and June overall monthly tallies. While on our local charts, it was another close battle, but traveling on The Bloomfields's "Express Highway" seem to be faster than the speedy mouth of Gloc-9.
