That American choir singing on a plane in 2017? It was a Filipino song. And the man behind its style used to drive a jeepney. The song is "Da Coconut Nut." Ryan Cayabyab wrote it in 1991 for the Filipino band Smokey Mountain. Baylor University's men's choir had been singing it since 2010. After the plane video, Cayabyab said the song had more than 10 million views online in three days. But the style came from one man: Yoyoy Villame, the king of Filipino novelty songs, who Cayabyab credits as his inspiration. Yoyoy was born in Calape, Bohol, in 1932, the youngest of ten. He drove a passenger jeepney for about ten years. In 1965 he went home to Bohol and drove a bus. As he told it, one of his classics started with a breakdown. His jeep stopped, the wait for the mechanic was long, and he started copying the names of the Chinatown shops. Out came "Butsikik," a song of nonsense words that sound a little like Chinese. Now the honest part. Those words were his. The tune wasn't. It's "Baby Cakes," a 1962 American song by Dee Dee Sharp. One of his best-known songs was something else entirely: "Magellan," a retelling of 1521, Lapu-Lapu against the explorer. His daughter Hannah says he loved history. When he had shows in Cebu, he went looking for what really happened, found a book, and started recording there. And in 1977 came "Mag-exercise Tayo," which means "Let's exercise." History, nonsense and a workout song, all from the same man. In January 2005, Jessica Soho followed him home to Bohol. Boholanos gave him a grand welcome at the Tagbilaran airport, and he sang there. He died in May 2007. He was 74. Ten years later, an American choir sang a song in his style on a plane, and the video went viral. An American tune once carried his words. Then his Filipino style carried an American choir. Clips and sources: GMA's Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho; Emirates; Baylor Men's Choir. Music: Butsikik by Yoyoy Villame.
