Actually, it’s a version by Tuck and Patti.

Okay, since I am on a roll with betraying my vow
not to sing on the songs I play.
Let me just give a word of advice,
to those new musicians who would like to record their stuff.

When you sing the songs you play,
make sure you clean your nose first.
Get rid of them boogers before you attempt to record anything.

Or else,
you will hear the wheezing, high-pitched noise,
your booger-filled nose makes,
and the microphone will pick them up.

Just like on this song I just did.

But then again,
my voice already sounds like a booger-filled nose,
desperately trying to gasp for dear life.

If there’s one thing I learned from my 2 years in ROTC,
and 1 year of CAT prior to that,
is that, Proper Hygiene is a way of life.

Oh and don’t get too drunk the night before training.
(I am looking in your direction, ESL Posse!)

Show Me A Smile
by
The APO Hiking Society.

A classic tune by one of the Philippines’ brilliant musical groups.

When I was younger,
and still learning guitar,
this was one the songs I would play quite often.

I specifically remember one night, I was trying to get some sleep,
but this song was on constant repeat inside my head.

I believe it was 2 or 3 in the morning,
I couldn’t take it anymore,
so I got up and played this tune.

This song just reminds me of a simpler time.
Funny how my life was different way back then.

Anyhow, without further anything,
Here’s Show Me A Smile.
