The Jeepney: trucks converted to mini buses and heavily decorated. The driver named this one American Idol. Filipinos are obsessed with anything that has to do with singing, they even have their own Pinoy Idol, as well as countless other singing competition shows. They also love David Cook's rendition of Always Be my Baby. I hear David's voice in about every neighborhood I visit. The only song more popular than this Mariah Carey original, is Low, aka, "apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fur" (although since Filipinos have a hard time pronouncing the letter F, it comes out as "boots with the pur"). I was trying to interview a local government official during one of my site visits when that song started blasting from a house near us. I became completely distracted, and, unfortunately, his response to my question on livelihood development was lost in Flo-rida's anthem. This song has also been translated and re-recorded in Tagalog: please check this out: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1314922/low_tagalog_version/
