one evening, Dang requested that i download from the internet the now popular song by the soulja boys - crank that soldier boy. i did not realize that it is now a phenomenal hit song until i hit the search button. the query yielded so many versions of the song:
crank that spiderman, crank that batman, crank that spongebob, crank that forrest gump, alvin and the chipmunks version, etc.
the tune sounds popular in my head but i thought it is only because it is almost always on air and is popular among teenagers. then my youngest son Pio who is now about two and half years old came rushing near the computer and started dancing. he would also touch the ground and raise one of his legs as if doing the break dancing. he would also sing along the refrain delightly shouting "youuuuuu!" as he dances. even after the music is finished he would beg to repeat it again and so even when i start playing the other versions, he would continue to sing and dance with it. then i started to kid him singing also "pangit youuuuu!, pangit youuuuu!" (translated as you are ugly or ugly you) with the beat and so he also started singing and pointing at me or his brother and sisters. this is how our own version of soulja boys' song started.
every now and then that this music is played over the airwaves, we would start chanting "pangit youuuuu!" and pointing fingers at each other. Pio continues to chide most of us also with this song but when you start to point at him singing "pangit youuuuu!" , he would frown and say "hindi ako pangit!" (I'm not ugly!)
