Answer 3

These are the songs that came to my mind first. You can try the link to the site where you can listen to the song while reading the lyrics. there's no tagalog to english translations though. you could probably just askj for a translation later.

May Tama Rin Ako (I Do Have A Point) by Jay-R Siaboc

http://videokeman.com/jay-r-siaboc/may-t...

*i find the lyrics of this song amusing and it's written in conversational tagalog so it can come handy in the future. :D

Novelty

DJ Bumbay (literally, Indian DJ but in this context, an Indian who sell various stuff on credit) by Michael V.

http://videokeman.com/michael-v/dj-bumba...

*you might find the song itself difficult to follow at first because the singer is altering his accent on purpose to imitate an Indian accent but you can learn a lot of basic tagalog stuff from the lyrics.

Answer 4

I don't know of any certain songs but try looking up some songs in Tagalog.
