Inspired by Maring, here’s a compilation of YouTube videos featuring some OPM tunes about the rain, from seriously good to hilariously, well, hilarious — period. You still have to spend the holiday wisely by watching all the videos below!
Donna Cruz sings “Rain” in “Party Pilipinas”
If you’re a 90s kid then you know this “Rain” song and who Donna Cruz is. Donna quit showbiz after she got married to opthalmologist Yong Larrazabal and moved to Cebu. And it looks like forever lost the baby fat and maintained her good voice, basing on this performance in the defunct noontime show last August 14, 2011.
ABS-CBN’s 2011 Tag-ulan station ID
This star-studded video for the song “Sukob Na” features everyone from Venus Raj to Kuya Kim, Donita Rose to Ate Shawi, and shows us various fun rainy moments: sharing an umbrella with someone cute, taking a bath under the rain, enjoying a cup of hot beverage indoors. Da best kang kasama sa tag-ulan — that’s the message of the song sung by… Anne Curtis. Who do you wanna be with this rainy day?
Videoke version of “Basang-basa sa Ulan” by Aegis
We don’t remember this iconic song having a music vid so this videoke version has got to do for now — good thing it’s pretty awesome. Shot in Fortune Islands, Batangas, it features an unknown named Michelle (in a fabulous color-blocking two-piece) sunbathing and then walking by the seashore. For over four minutes. Priceless
“Tuwing Umuulan at Kapiling Ka” by Ate Shawi, Ate Reg, and Papa P
Sharon Cuneta invited Piolo Pascual and Regine Velasquez to her old show in ABS-CBN and as a treat to viewers performed a version of The Songbird’s hit song. Ate Shawi reminds us that she’s a great singer while Papa P shows us how low and soft his voice is — and how cutting his hair was a superb decision. Regine, as expected, proves why she’s the best. As if she needed to.
Ate Reg stops singing “Tuwing Umuulan at Kapiling Ka” (for a while)
Nope, the Songbird didn’t forget her lyrics. She just got distracted because the lame guitarist went out of tune. In fairness, Ate Reg looked so cute that moment. This video just made us this thin version of herself. And do you dig that short ‘do or what?
“Basang-basa sa Ulan” Live in Japan
Like the Aegis song? Then you’ll love this live performance of the band when they were in Japan last 2011. It’s filled with the usual impressive birits and has some bonus LOL-worthy moments.
Jaya’s rendition of that Aegis song
The Soul Diva shows us how to make a song your own with this performance of “Basang-basa sa Ulan” in the August 14, 2011 episode of “Party Pilipinas.” Wait for the ending. Definitely proves how good Jaya is as a singer.
