SPOTTED: Opo Pinoy Style, parody version of Gangnam Style

Opo Pinoy Style, a parody version of international hit KPop dance video Oppa Gangnam Style, continues to gain popularity as of posting time. Released on Youtube last January 4, Opo Pinoy Style features Fil-Canadian comedian-singer Mikey Bustos and Paula Jamie Salvosa (Amalayer Girl).

The almost-four-minute-running Gangnam parody presents Philippine locations (e.g. Rizal Park in Manila) and speaks about Filipino practices that define who we are. It may boost our morale and inspire us more, the same way Mikey Bustos show how he's proud of his culture and identity.

Here are the lyrics of Opo Pinoy Style:

When I come around you know it's gunna be a party,

Cuz I come from a land that's more fun than the other countries,

Where we ace our exam with flying colours cuz we studied,

and there's nobody else that can cook better than our mommies

Yeah it's hotter here,

And that is why my skin is brown

and you'll find water here

to wash my bum after I'm done raiding my fridgidaire,

Cuz I proud that I'm pinoy I shout it everywhere, and tattooed it here

A baby duck still, inside the egg shell,

It tastes good

It's called balut

I eat my ulam, rice and sawsawan

with my hands, i close open,

you have two godparents I have ten...

Weeh...

Opo Pinoy style! Pinoy style.

Op-op-op-op-op opo Pinoy Style....

Pinoy style. Op-op-op-op-op opo Pinoy Style....

A pinay lady

stays where it's shadey!

My name is Mikey Bustos, your one and only Pinoyboy,

I'm pointing with my lips, cuz hands are busy eating penoy,

Blessing to the elderly I mano po to Lola,

but now my forehead smells like ginger cuz she cooked tinola

During summer yeah it is super scortching hot,

and the rest of the year, yes it is still so scortching hot,

but really I don't care,

Cuz I just use my split type air con, I can peepee here

almost anywhere

Cuz I do OK in videoke, magaling in tinikling,

Yes I am gwapo, haba ng hair mo, as I court you

That's how we do, Beautiful eyes will get to you!

Amalayer?!

Opo Pinoy style! Pinoy style.

Op-op-op-op-op opo Pinoy Style.... Pinoy style.

Op-op-op-op-op opo Pinoy Style....

Eh Tita Baby op-op-op-op-op Opo Pinoy style

Eh we're related op-op-op-op-op Opo Pinoy style

I wear barong, while eating chicharron

Just watch us take over the world with a plastic balloon

And I'm on my cell phone, texting in jejemon,

And I am BV during brown out cuz there's no aircon, bat ganun, Opo Pinoystyle

Long live Filipinos op-op-op-op-op Opo Pinoy style

Mabuhay ang pilipino op-op-op-op-op Opo Pinoy style

I'm just returning the favour!

So, what's your say on PSY's Gangnam Style? 

Personally, upon first listening of the song, I didn't like it 'cause I didn't understand it. However, as the song plays, its rhythm, beat and snap caught me off-guard. I didn't expect to like it, but it's hypnotized me. We can wait for more views to land on the youtube page, as more audience try to know what Gangnam Style, which has stormed Facebook walls, really is all about. Or better yet, determine what part of the song makes it sensational and enticing.
