MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Justin Bieber may have cancelled his Manila concert, but the hit song ‘Despacito’ by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee –featuring the Canadian singer — will remain in the music charts for a long time.
Well, not the Bieber version, but the cover of the English-Latin song, by a talented local artist.
In addition to topping the charts, the song has been adopted as the official theme music of the Duterte administration.
LONDON, U.K. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Openly-gay British singer Sam Smith announced he has recorded the theme to the new James Bond flick, “Spectre.”
“This is one of the highlights of my career,” the Grammy Award-winning Smith tweeted Tuesday. “I am honoured to finally announce that I will be singing the next Bond theme song.”
The song, called “Writing’s on the Wall,” will be released September 25. The movie comes out October 26 in the United Kingdom and November 6 in the United States.
Speaking of ‘coming out,’ the reason Smith was chosen to compose and record the theme song is because the latest Agent 007, played by Daniel Craig, turns out to be a closeted gay man. It is not until the end of the film that he comes out of the closet.
None of the film’s characters suspected that Bond was gay, despite the writings on the wall.
HOLLYWOOD, Calfornia (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – She may just have been released from county jail, but Kim Davis, the Rowan County clerk who defied a Supreme Court ruling asking her to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, could end up back behind bars.
To celebrate her release after six hard days in prison, Davis held a press conference with Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. At the press conference, Davis cried and waved to the crowd, the crowd cheered and waved cardboard crosses, and the rock band Survivor tune ‘Eye of the Tiger’ played in the background, just like in the movie, ‘Rocky III.’
But the band said it didn’t give Davis permission to use the song. “NO! We did not grant Kim Davis any rights to use ‘My Tune -The Eye Of The Tiger,’” the song’s co-writer, Frank Sullivan said on the band’s Facebook page. “I would not grant her the rights to use Charmin! C’mom Mike, you are not The Donald but you can do better than that -See Ya really SoooooooonnnnnnN!!!!!!,” the post added.
And so the ‘Rocky’ saga continues for Davis, in court.
If convicted for unauthorized public performance of a copyrighted material, she could face a homecoming in county jail, perhaps, along with Huckabee.
