Leah: Im going in be in a dress obviously 'cuz I'm getting married
and I have to have hair bows
Ok, there we go, that looks nice and happy
ok cause I'm getting married
Shimon: can we just put like, "I am done" right here
...and then, here's my cello husband
[continues talking about her drawing]
Leah: look at that! Look how cute that is
Shimon, do you want to come to my wedding?
Shimon: you know who you should get married to? / Leah: who?
Shimon: a saxophone
Leah: EWW
(Umu: This is SHINee and they are made of 5 dudes)
(and this very first video I'm showing you is called "Sherlock")
(and it's one of their classhics... like classics)
Kevin: class hits haha
Lindsey: "Sherlock"
Kevin: I have a feeling I might've seen this
(Umu: You might've, it's famous)
Kevin: violins tho
Fiona: SUSPENSE!
Shimon (mouth full of food) : aaYY AAY
Lindsey: they show the guy playing the violin and theres no string sound at all
Fiona: He's holding it like how I hold it
henry: holy sh*t davis: oh wow!
Yunyi: You have sevenths! Seventh chords, ooh
Davis: wait what??
...how're they doing this?
Yunyi: Look at them, stacking their thirds, so fancy
Henry: I don't care haha
Fiona: what's that bee-doo-oo-ee in the background?
[LOL]
Lindsey: David Bowie looking...
not up close but like from a distance he looks kinda like David Bowie
Yunyi: I can comment on...
Kevin: WOAH that was a cool harmony
Yunyi: I can comment on how pretty they are but I feel like
it's useless at this point, it's just redundant
like I don't need to say it any more times
Kevin: ready? [gets ready for that beat drop] oh
Davis: oh snap
Kevin: did not go where I thought it would
Yunyi: nicely done
Fiona: it's very synthy
Kevin: picardy third
Yunyi: but it went from a major chord so you cant...
Kevin: well, it was a major chord but then after the picardy third you realize it's a minor chord
Lindsey: mannequin challenge
Leah: I like his voice
...It's like inviting
Yunyi: oh that was in minor
Fiona: I like how they're facing that corner cause that's cool
Kevin: oh it's a minor, it's a sixth so it's like, ok... I see the confusion
Yunyi: the first one that happens is technically a picardy third and the next ones are all major / Kevin: yeah yeah exactly
Lindsey: at least the girls aren't just [poof] appearing and then [poof] disappearing
or like
WHAT
Kevin: This fading away thing needs to stop
Lindsey: she disappeared, are you fucking kidding me?
Fiona: so mysteri... wait let's just disappear
Youyi: It's always the girl
notice the love interest
...and disappears
Davis: he was like
Fiona: shes going to disappear and the flower is going to be on the stair
Yunyi: no it's the violin! It's Henry's violin! We found him!
It's the obligatory rap verse
They're like washing their hands off
I like this part
AAAAA
Leah: oh! they found it
sing that on scale degrees
[sings melody on scale degrees]
Kevin: I bet there's like a romantic tie-in in the lyrics
like how Sherlock relates to this love interest
oh thats just so cliché
Like "I'm a sherlock for you"
davis: amazing
Shimon: They were looking for jewelry
Lindsey: Is the song over but the video's still going on?
I like how their videos do that
Henry: *gasp* but it's ongoing
Shimon: iWatson
Yunyi: iWatson
Kevin: BHAHA it's iWatson
Henry: oh my god what?
wow
Davis: so what does he recall?
Henry: I've left out the edge! No!
Henry: Is there more?
(Umu: nope) Henry: WHAT
Shimon: I feel like I'm sight reading because I'm hearing it for the first time
When I watch the videos that you upload
since it's me hearing the music and seeing the video for the second time
there's so many more things that I didn't catch the first time
I'm just saying, I'm getting used to all this
Lindsey: I liked that / Fiona: me too
(Umu: she's a ghost in this one) Fiona: she's OVER it
Lindsey: oh she's a ghost? That makes a little bit more sense
That doesn't change how that is in literally every single other video that we've watched
maybe not literally but almost
Fiona: are all girls ghosts then?
(Umu: ok, thoughts on that song?)
Leah: [reading the next video] marriage is a slow death? That's true
...never getting married
I'm going to date everyone, for long periods of time
Shimon: so umm
(Umu: what just happened to Leah?)
(what the heck just happened?)
Leah: I was about to sneeze
(Umu: okay, this song is called "Married to the music")
Leah: No, it says "marriage is a slow death"
(Umu: no it's called "married to the music")
Leah: It says marr- Umu: ITS CALLED MARRIED TO THE MUSIC
Linsey: "marriage is a slow death" ...amazing
Yunyi: ...it's optimistic
Yunyi: everything is a slow death
Kevin: there you ar- I was just going to say that
Lindsey: I thought those were tampons
Davis: the pants holy shit
Yunyi: another one bites the dust
Kevin: excellent
... well done
[singing] another one bites the dust
Shimon: oooh that hand, that hand thing
Fiona: Michael Jackson-esque like-
Lindsey: they just- they drink the glowing drinks and they're all like starting to glow, do you see that?
Fiona: sounds like thriller
Lindsey: yeah, I can hear that, it's like that pop song
oohh
Kevin: ohhh, I like that
Davis: I'm not sure I-
...I don't like that
OH MY GOD
Davis: casual decapitation / Henry: oh chill
Davis: [singing] got my head cut off
Leah: OH that's weird
Lindsey: -it's like an orange or like, citrus
Yunyi: I didn't like him anyways, he has a sour attitude
Leah: probably what I'm made out of, sometimes I'm so SOUR
Kevin: Best slumber party ever- OH MY GOD
Leah: I don't understand how things come out of them when like- EW
EW that's so gross!
Davis: OH, yeah, that happens
Lindsey: oh yeah, me too
Kevin: I KNOW, I feel you
Leah: I got your nose
Lindsey: this is so awesome
Davis: This is halarious
Leah: oo they like ate the- OH what is that??
They throw up confetti
Lindsey: Maybe if people threw up and it looked like that, I wouldn't be so so terribly afraid of being around people throwing up
DROP
Fiona: that was kinda disappointing, I wanted it to be BIGGER
but it's also nice and funky
Yunyi: I feel like really cool things are happening melodically/musically but I'm too shocked by the video to respond to it
Lindsey: I think that's really fun
Fiona: not disappearing girls, but disappearing body parts - thats okay
Kevin: well, there is a mysterious character
and I think she is a personification of something
the "disappearing organ syndrome"
Lindsey: he looks so overly happy while he's singing
Kevin: that's the throwback I like- OH MY GOD
Fiona: He's on fire, okay
Leah: OH it's going to be like a wedding
are they going to get married to a piano?
Davis: [singing] falsetto, get's them every time
Kevin: [dancing] see? I can't resist, It's really good
I like this more than the last song
Fiona: more cowbell, always more cowbell
Lindsey: woah, I didn't realize that was a person
Davis: It just doesn't slow down, I like it
Kevin: show us the-
Yunyi: do we not find out?
Leah: turn it up
Davis: That was a good ending
aaaah
Kevin: That left an impact
That will be remembered
Yunyi: SHINee's really weird
Davis: It was good it was- / Henry: pump up workout jams
yeah It was a pump up like
like I said, it didn't, there was no real like down time
It came in and had that hook and just went the whole- [playing guitar]
Yunyi: [still singing another one bites the dust]
Kevin: I mean, a lot of that bit the dust
oh true / or their faces
Lindsey: I liked that, I think the song was really nice and pop-y
I agree that it was Michael Jackson-esque
Leah: but I don't think that accurately shows what it's like to fall in love with music
cause I feel like it doesn't take away from you, you know what I mean?
like music makes me happier, it doesn't cut my eyes off, and my nose and my lips
except my lips hurt sometimes because I play the french horn
(Umu: I mean I think it does cut off your eyes and lips because if you were constantly practicing, your eyes are going to like-
Shimon: they had everything taken out except their ears
Leah: maybe you didn't notice that
Shimon: oh I'm onto something
(Umu: they didn't take out their ears)
Shimon: because music, you need your ears
(Umu: wait which song did you like better?)
Henry: Sherlock for sure
Davis: yeah, I think I like Sherlock better too
Shimon: I like the video from the first one better but the song from second one
Leah: yeah, I was going to say that, the second one was more like [dances]
but the first one, the video was like good
Kevin: I like the second one better
Yunyi: I'm indifferent
they were both very captivating in extremely strange ways
Fiona: I liked "married to the music" more
Yunyi: yeah okay, I would say, probably the second one just because I really like the funk elements
Lindsey: I'm "Sherlock" more for the song and "married to the music" more for the video
Yunyi: I really appreciate how kpop covers so many different types of genres of music
It's a great summation of everything happening in modern times
Leah: oh! it's going to be like a wedding, are they going to get married to a piano?
...I'm marrying a cello
Like I can imagine it and we could put it in a tux
I can draw a diagram
okay, there we go!
wait I need to name my husband, what should I name him?
Umu: cello
Leah: I think a better name, I'm going to name him Chris, the C stands for cello
