This week's Music Monday is the Halloween Costume Edition
with Girls' Generation and Hoot. Magical!
[music]
My favorite part of the video is the actual name of it,
See, the song is called "Hoot" and if you write it in Korean,
it looks like this, now,
that looks kinda like a cowboy, doesn't it, or is it just me? Guys? Anyone?
The song has a cowboy twang to it and even some of the girls are dressed up as cowboys.
Anyhow I think the concept's totally brilliant
and SM Entertainment did a great job with it,
cuz that's what they planned.
Right? Guys? No? Mmmm :(
Now that I think of it, there are a lot of different ways
that this video could have gone.
If instead they called it "Boot" all the girls would be dressed up as bunnies,
and that would be pretty awesome.
Or, even better, is if they called the song "Koot"
Because, if you look at it, it kinda looks like a dragon,
you see with the, little beady eyes and the fire coming out of its mouth.
Yeah, I think a dance video with dragons would be so much better.
OH YEAH! DRAGON TIME!
[music]
See that? That was my dragon fireball arrow. It was totally awesome
[music]
Girls' Generation is really into big arm movement dances.
Run Devil Run had the "Ward off Crazy Monkey"
Get away crazy monkey! Get away!
and the fishing rod dance,
Ohh! I got a big one. Yah! Yah!
"Hoot" has the bow and arrow.
Zing! Zing! Zing! Oh, how did that get there?
The only problem is that it doesn't fit the concept of the video,
because they have this Korean James Bond guy, and he's got a gun,
but they've got bow and arrows. Somehow, Bow and Arrows vs a gun...
I don't think things are gonna go very well for them.
Unless...they dressed up as sexy go go dancers.
Hmm...yeah, yeah that'll go well for them.
[music]
As for the English of the song we give this a...
4 out of 5.
So we give this a 4 out of 5 because of the slightly awkward use of the word "Hoot"
See, the lyrics are basically saying that the guy is a jerk
and the girls aren't going to be affected by him anymore.
So the guy shoot shoot shoots his verbal attack
and the girls laugh it off by going "hoot, hoot, hoot"
Now, to explain this awkward use of hoot I've asked
Grammar Grandma to be on the show.
Back in my day, "hoot" was used to describe a good time,
For example: "I had a hoot at the pie festival!"
Or, if you don't care about someone's opinion, you can say:
"Daddy, I don't give a hoot what you think!
I'm going to that Fall fair with Johnny. He's a nice boy!"
But, "hoot"'s never used to describe laughter, like, a verb,
Oh, unless you're an owl. Then hoot would be acceptable.
[Ok Grandma thank you very much. Come on. Let's go now]
Did I ever tell you about the time I met a fella named Mordney?
[yes you did Grandma]
He was such a nice guy! He gave me a wonderful present!
[Ok, Grandma, that joke is like three weeks old now. Come on!]
It was a grammar book, I think!
[yes it was]
I smell pancakes!
[yes you do]
Mmmm!
[music]
