It's Saturday morning and your mom's rustling through the house because apparently, it's time for another round of general cleaning. So, you begrudgingly wake up, grab the old but ever-reliable walis and sweep away as 'Passenger Seat' by Stephen Speaks blasts through the speakers. 

Top 10 karaoke songs Filipinos love to sing

After that's all done, it's finally time to enjoy your weekend and go hang out with your barkada, but as always you're running a little late. So, you get into a taxi and decide to blame it on the traffic instead, as you listen to Stevie B's 'Waiting For Your Love' playing on the radio. 

While these songs—and many others—are not Filipino, they're so quintessentially Pinoy. Today (6 April), Filipino music lovers took to Twitter to share their favourite non-Filipino songs that feel so Filipino after Twitter user @craaae posed the question online. 

You know those songs; the ones you hear at every handaan, on your daily commute, and sung at the mall by someone trying out a karaoke machine. 

What non-Filipino songs ang Pinoy na Pinoy? On top of my mind Passenger Seat (Stephen Speaks) and Because of You (Keith Martin) lol
