Jeepney talks about a chance encounter between an ordinary guy and a hot chick while riding the *ehem* Jeepney, and the awkwardness of trying to strike up a conversation with someone who’s out of your league. I love the song because it’s so typical, so reflective of ordinary life in Manila. It doesn’t use any fancy metaphors or allusions (that I’m aware of), and is instantly accessible.
