This week's Music Monday is the
Super Woman empowering woman edition
with Brown Eyed Girls' Sixth Sense
[music]
Finally! Brown Eyed Girls, my favorite girl group, is back
TIME TO CELEBRATE!
[PARTY TIME MUSIC OHHH YEAH!]
And I'm back.
I know I'm not the only one in saying this,
but I'm so happy that Brown Eyed Girls returned.
Now, the first time we heard the song we were a little bit disappointed
I think we were expecting something similar to Abracadabra
But after listening to this a few times we realized
how awesome and powerful the song was
It has layers of powerful vocals with a soulful vibe
and a totally rocking orchestra
If you're looking for a dirty electronica song like Abracadabra
This isn't it, but that doesn't mean
that the song still isn't totally badass.
BEG is such a fantastically talented band.
They're strong and powerful, and they always sing their freaking guts out.
Did you hear that high note at the end?
SQUEEEEEEEE
It's exactly the same, right?
Not really.
The other thing I really like about this video
is that Brown Eyed Girls are portrayed as strong and confident women
and don't act like that kind of cute and coy and aegyo style girl.
They're not singing about boys and dating,
and I'm kinda shy and scared.
They're singing songs about rebellion and lack of freedom.
This music video is chock full of symbolism.
It's like an English teacher's dream. WAAAHHHH!
We see Miryo struggling against being a puppet,
being forced to speak messages that are not her own.
Ga-In reveals that for girls,
sexuality and good looks come at a very violent cost.
Narsha is slowly going crazy as a caged animal.
Sure! She's being fed delicious and expensive birds,
But it's not what she wants. She wants her own freedom.
You can see a lot of similarity to Trent Reznor's website, Art is Resistance
from the posters and the stencils on the wall
Yeah man. This video is DEEP
It's very clear to us that this video was thought out very very well,
and the producer took the time not to
just slap something together to have a cutesy meaning.
Really great job.
Yes! Finally, sexiness done right.
We keep on making fun of Bubble Pop as sexiness done wrong
Bubble Pop just seemed like a North American style video
with inappropriate shaking and rubbing
While Brown Eyed Girls are being sexy, not by rubbing,
but by being powerful, and confident, and aggressive.
Really, your attitude and your confidence
are infinitely more sexy than what you can do with your body alone.
And, really, Brown Eyed Girls are a perfect example of this.
Ga-In tied up in a chair with messy wet hair and angry smudged makeup
is a lot more sexy than any Face Arousal Raunchy Thrusting that I've ever seen.
I mean, look at that face. ANG!
Look at that anger. ANG!
Look at that girl, rolling around, in a room full of sand
And then meowing. Ang.
Ok, that wasn't really that sexy, but you know what I mean.
I mean, what's she even doing there.
Everyone else is tied up or trapped
and you're rolling around in a sandbox?
There is a time and a place for building sandcastles,
and for rubbing yourself all over a beach,
And let me tell you: when your friends are tied up
and the riot squad is about to march,
that's not really the best time.
Anyways, I find that whenever I'm watching a BEG video,
I always feel like I'm watching a mini movie, you know?
It lacks the feeling of a Kpop Music Video
in that it always seems dark and scary and intense.
In fact, it seems that most of Brown Eyed Girls' videos,
and even Ga-In's solo release
seem to be pretty dark and serious.
It makes me wonder: who decides on these plots anyways.
Ok Ga-In. We're gonna start directing Abracadabra soon,
And I'm thinking because Abracadabra's magical,
we should have a magic theme with a surprise ending to it.
OMG! I love that idea!
And you know what else: you should dress us up in leather
and have a bunch of girls fondling me and I'll fall to the floor and be like
LALALALALALALALALALALAL
and then we should, like, strap a bomb to a guy's chest
like, blow him up, and then in the end
I should make out with some girl.
Yeah. Well.
It'll be great!
Ok that's great. I'm gonna get rid of the bunny from the hat.
But yeah that's the perfect idea.
Ok Ga-In: since we're starting the music video for sign,
I'm thinking because it's SOS themed,
we should have some kind of rescue going on.
That's such a great idea! OMG!
We should get the girls, and put them in glass containers and drown them!
And then I'll get beat up and you'll tie me to a chair.
and then I'll have this guy try to rescue me
but he can't cuz I'm already dead. It'll be GREAT!
Um. I was thinking more, like, princesses and castles,
and maybe a unicorn, but what you're saying is a good idea!
Yes, we'll definitely do that! It's a much better idea.
Ok Ga-In, I don't know. We're starting Sixth Sense now,
I'm thinking maybe we should have you in leather and corsets
and have you trapped in water
and then we should beat up Narsha and tie her to a chair
and I think that's how it's gonna roll.
WHAT? What's wrong with you!?
OMG I'm sorry! I thought, I'm really sorry!
Please don't get upset!
I'm the one that gets in a chair! I get beat up and put in a chair!
I always get beat up and put in a chair!
HOHO! Yes, yes we can arrange that.
Ok. Good talk yeah. Sure.
I'll tell you what really surprised me about the video.
How freaking long it took the riot squad to change sides.
Seriously! How did they last even three minutes??!?!
I don't know about you, but if I was the riot squad,
and I saw Brown Eyed Girls sexily rubbing themselves all over my shield,
and I wasn't married to my beautiful and lovely wife of course,
I would have turned sides quicker than something that turns sides really quickly.
HALT! I AM A POLICE!
No one can stop our democratic right to be sexy!
Please! Leave the premises immediately, and stop touching yourself!
POP! POP! POP! POP!
Kiss kiss. Prenchy prenchy!
Yeah! No one has that right to take away their sexiness!
Hay! Can I have your number?
How did you get here so fast? Police!
Can I have your number?
Hay! I'm the police. Come here. I can protect you.
Can I have your number.

So, very surprisingly, this music video doesn't have any dance moves in it.
We're gonna skip right over the section.
What do you mean? There are lots of dances in this video
No! There was nothing for Simon to traumatize me with.
But I did all the dances.
The memories are overwhelming me.
KISS KISS KISS KISS
MEOW MEOW MEOW!
Meow!
HUH! Oh God!
OH SO SEXY
Ugghh! I'm sorry you had to witness that.
I'm so sorry Brown Eyed Girls.
[music]
As for the English of the song, we give this a
3.5 out of 5
Some of the English was quite good, and some of it was quite awkward
and they actually lost some points on pronunciation mistakes
KEYS KEYS PRENCHY PRENCHY
Yeah, the pronunciation was a little bit off,
but we loved the meaning of the whole song
It's so…arousing!
But what good is a sexy song for Music Monday
if I don't ruin it for you somehow?
And by me, of course I mean my devastatingly handsome friend Fabio the Poet.
[music]
Hello Ladies!
Today I will do the dramatic reading of Sixth Sense by Brown Eyed Girls
I can never be tamed.
I can never!
Don't touch, touch. Rush rush!
My eyes that arouse you even from far away.
Light, light! Guilty guilty!
The bubble in champaign EXPLODES!
Good pain!
This feeling that I want to share with you is more than emotion
Better than the love motion.
Thank you
[music]
