Joey’s parodies hit OPM songs

TV host-comedian and master lyricist Joey de Leon is back with "Joey to the World Vol. 2," his follow-up to the highly successful major label debut released in 2004.

Like the first volume which spawned hits like "Pa Epek Epek" and "Canton," the album consists of parodies and wacky adaptations of very popular OPM songs from today’s most popular bands and solo artists.

If features "Amoy" (Cueshé’s "Stay"), "Hikaw Lang" ("Ikaw Lang" by Chad Borja), "Maliit na Syota" and "Singkit na Pag-Ibig" ("Maling Akala" and "Lintik" by Brownman Revival), "Itlog" and "Sexy" (from 6cyclemind’s "Sige" and "Sandalan"), "Namputsa" (Ariel Rivera’s "Sa Aking Puso"), "Not So Hot" ("Hot na Hot" by Barako Boys) and the much sought-after "Ulam" (Cueshé’s "Ulan").

It also includes two original Joey de Leon compositions— "Tawa" and the now popular Eat Bulaga favorite "Itaktak Mo."

With this album, Joey de Leon again pays homage to the humble beginnings of TVJ (Tito, Vic and Joey) with their funny takes they do during the ‘70s on particular lines on hit songs from the era.

"Joey to the World" came into fruition when after the comedian did a special appearance in the "Sexbomb Girls’ "Ispageti" recording as the spirited character T’yo Pot.

The album was so successful and controversial (especially to moralists and other ultra-conservative blocs) that it was certified Gold in just over a month and platinum on its third month of release.

Of course, it will never be "Joey to the World" without the miniature figure of Joey as a naughty angel answering the call of nature (in a different way) on top of Mother Earth on the CD cover.

"Joey to the World Vol. 2" is now available at leading record stores under Sony BMG Music Entertainment and is being presented in cooperation with PLDT Budget Card. For more information, log on to www.sonybmg.com.ph.
