I say

c

I'll go with:

I

since there's no song about Zoe on the list.

Well, "Be True To Your School" it ain't.

IB, you ARE Mr. Suave!!

RICO!!!

SUAAAA-vay!

I will guess H.

I'll randomly guess....B?

Nope to all.

i) Gotta Believe in Magic is a somewhat upbeat love song from a boy band. It's pretty much considered a classic round these parts.

c) Sa Iyo is another love song, this time by a solo female artist.

e) Alumni Homecoming is actually pretty funny. It's about a guy who never got up the nerve to make the move on his first love. Maybe I'll translate it for you guys.

c) Bulaklak is a really silly song. It means "flower" in Filipino, but everybody knows the songwriter was actually talking about something else that's big, red, smells good, tastes good and opens like a flower...

h) Harana- harana is a method of courtship in which a guy sings songs and sweet nothings under the window of the girl he likes while playing a guitar. Of course, this traditionally happens while her parents are watching- and this hasn't been in vogue since about fifty years ago.

Oh, and Kent, as far as I know there IS no song anywhere about Zoe... Good guess though.

then MAKE ONE already!

Hmmm....
Concrete Blonde, as sung by DnA:

Zoe... baby...
Don't say maybe
If I seemed to be confused
It's cause your makeover's not you
And if you say you're evolved, well, I guess that's not you, too
But if it's brown you're looking for
you don't have to go too far
look at a mirror and pass out on the floor
Zoe, We're not writing anymore

Kent,

That song just makes me cry!

Sob! It's so true!

Okay IB, I'm going with G.

And would you believe, you got it right!

It's a really funny song (the funniest one on the list) about a straight guy who suddenly finds out that his best friend is gay and is in love with him, and how he deals with the shock of that revelation. I've put the English translations in bold.

Hope nobody gets offended by this, but since it's such a hit back here (and even my international pals find it funny) I thought I'd post it here too.

THIS GUY'S IN LOVE WITH YOU, PARE

one look and then yun iba na
one look and then it all changed
malagkit dumikit ang tingin ng mata
his stare was sticky as glue
one smile,iba na ang ibig sabihin
one smile, and the meaning is different
'di na friends,ang tingin nya sa akin
he doesn't see me as a friend anymore
everyday parating we're together
everyday, we're always together
every week,palaging may sleepover
every week, we always have sleepovers
ang tawag nya sa mommy ko ay tita
he calls my mom "auntie"
bakit ba,di ko non nakita
oh why didn't I see it

bridge
until out of the blue,
this feeling so true
bigla nalang sinabi sa akin that
he suddenly told me that

chorus
this guy's in love with you pare,
this guy's in love with you pare
this guy's in love wiyh you pare
bading na bading sayo..
he's very very gay cause ofyou...
(pare means really good pal/friend/buddy)

di na ako makasagot ng telepono
I don't answer the phone anymore
palagi nyang kinakausap ang parents ko
he always tells my parents
kulang daw sa tulog at di na makakain
he can't sleep and he doesn't eat anymore
bakit ba? di pa non inamin
why didn't he say so before

repeat bridge and chorus

everyday day ay rainy day and monday
every day's like a rainy day or Monday
'coz 'di na ko maaya to come out and play
cause he can't get me to come out and play
tinataguan na nga,palaging late o absent
i'm hiding from him, i'm always late or absent
ang sabi parin
he still says
"i'll always have a friend that you can depend"

oohh...
di kailangan na mag-oonn...
you don't need to be "official"...
(in Filipino slang, when a boy and a girl are an "official couple", we say they're "on")
parang talong at bagoooong...
just like eggplants and bagoong...
(bagoong is a smelly yet tasty sauce; eggplants are usually eating with it so this is like saying they're as close as bread and butter)

this guy's in love with you pare
this guy's in love with you pare
this guy's in love with you pare
bading na bading
very very gay
converted parin
"converted" already
na nakikipag-fling sayo..
and having a fling with you...
repeat chorus with..
oh no! my bestfriend's gay
it's the same old friend i had yesterday
and he's happy.. and gay...yeah..yeah..
na na na nananana na nanan na(2x)

Take it away, CJ.

Hey, that is a good one. I'm curious why we don't have it statesside. For some reason, we can get European stuff, and some Autralian music, but not much else getting airtime here. American radio isn't all that great anymore. Ah well.

Okay here's one I get often. I will tell you in advance, I've posted it on "Who are you" threads, just not the one on here at LW. And, while imaginative guesses are always welcome, they most likely won't be correct.

What does C.J. stand for?

Charles James

Christopher John

Chester John

Wow, I'd figure you'd all get the first name long before my middle name. John is right, named after my maternal grandpa. The greatest man I never met.

Carl John?

Craig John
Cecil John
Carlos John
Caleb John
Curtis John


...hmmm can't think of any more C names at the moment.

CJ?

I'm Batman!
