This week's Music Monday will have you losing at charades and winning 2PM's new CD
With 2PM's "Come Back When You Hear This Song"
[S]Um... uh Spiderman!
[S]A sound of one hand clapping?
[S]Sleeping kittens
2PM is back! We're so happy that finally made a Korean Come-back
That being said I haven't heard their whole album yet but I'm not so sure I would have picked this particular song as their Comeback song
[S]Cocococorrection. Hello class, I am professor Trolio and this is intro to Kpop linguistics
And etymology 101
2PM has not made a song or video in Korea for almost 2 years and so the rules of both logic and the English language
May tempt you to consider this their main comeback song, HOWEVER
In the realm of Kpop such rules and trifles do not apply.
Words may be re-appropriated and used in ways in which their use by normal human beings is disregarded
In conclusion, you can see that with 2PM this isn't their official comeback song
But really a type of pre-release and we should wait for their 2nd song to take place of their first.
That's it for this week's class. For next week's class I shall teach you how music videos are "unleashed",
and "unveiled", and "revealed" rather than just uploaded.
Which is another prime example of Kpop linguistics.
Class dismissed.
Ok, so despite having been deeply confused by various comments online about what this song is
We actually both like this song.
However, it just didn't blow us away.
You know what Did blow me away? "Heartbeat". The first time I saw that video and heard the song i was like "Omo?"
How about "Again and Again", "Without you", even "I'll be back" and "Hands Up" had more "Ngh" to them
And some kind of specialness that we felt like this song kind of lacked.
I don't know. You get, guys, what I'm saying here?
Maybe it was just a let down in comparison to the length of time that they've been gone
I don't know, how do you guys feel about it?
I know one person who disagrees with us.
Hi, and welcome back to fangirling with Fangrilla.
Also known as Seungrina. Hi, girls.
Oh, look at the time, it's 2PM and is it hot in here or what?!
That's right, girls.
The boys or should I say the men are back!
Yeah, that's right.
And how amazing are their outfits in this video?
I'm not being biased, but i just want to say, I think 2PM are some of the best dressed Kpop idols there are.
Am I right or am I right?
That's right. Showing off their cute little tushies, Oh My God.
But here's one complaint: wasn't there a bit too much clothing in this video?
These guys are riff and we were promised shirtlessness on the teasers.
You know what I am talking about!
Well, that's all the time we have for this week's show.
And remember, girls:
I'm not ugly, I'm exotic!
hahahaha Muah~
Now, if you don't understand what this video is about, it is supposed to represent the 7 deadly sins.
Because the different members of 2PM do "Deadly" and sinful things. And then the word flashes there beside them, though
it feels kind of more like the 7 Friendly sins.
Ugh... this necklace is itchy...
I love looking longingly into your eyes while we nuzzle noses
What the hell? Do I work for a Super Villain or something?
I don't want to practice this sucky song anymore. It has got only four notes.
I know I already had two glasses, but I'm a bit of a light-weight~
Wroom wroom, my car's name is Wrath! Why did you hit me?
Hey, you're obviously hitting on this girl and I'm a protective friend or a reasonably pissed off boyfriend.
C'mon, this video could have been a lot darker. But we were happy that at least they tried something different than most Kpop videos
Except...
[Mr.Brohoho] It was great to you in the brick room that more than 10 other Kpop videos used as sets last year
Brohoho~ Also I like the JYP Exclusive prop of having his Diamond Tears headphones appear in all the weird places
But question: can you plug headphones into a piano? I don't knooow~
JYP~ Awkward Product Placement
Oh, I'm sorry, what? Did you say something? I couldn't hear you over this crystal-clear music over my Diamond Tear headphones
That aren't plugged in.
JYP's headphones. Second unpaid for product placement. Seriously JYP, you owe us dinner for this shit or something.
Now there are some parts of the dance that make me uncomfortable due to it's cheesiness.
Like that hand-slapping-tag-teamy kind of stuff. Ugh *shivers*
It just reminds me too much of a Broadway musical and I Hate Musicals
More than any other music related thing in the world.
In fact, that's why I couldn't handle "Why so serious". It just sounded too much like a musical to me.
Blerghlerglerglergh
But otherwise there were a couple of really cool dance sections, like that toe-tapping 2 step 1 step kind of thing
I just... I wouldn't recommend doing the first half of their dance at a club.
Ayy gurl, can I buy you a drank?
[M]Um... Yeah, sure, why not. [S]Alright~
[S] Oh! 2PM! It's my song! Let's dance! [M]Yeah [S]Nananananananana uwawa ugh
Damn that hurt, gurl!
As for the English of the song I give this a...
4.98 out of 5.
Now the English in the song is perfectly fine. They used small phrases here and there.
But the only thing I don't really like are English tittles that are really really long.
Anything more than 4 words and I can get confused.
"Come back after you hear this song"? "Come back when this song is finished"? "Come back when you saw the video".
4.98 out of 5.
Deal with it.
Last week we asked you to choose between T-ara N4's "Jeon Won Diary"
And Dal Shabet's "Have, don't have" for the best un-glamorous Kpop video.
And you chose...
T-ara N4. Very surprising. Not that I didn't like the song, but I personally would have chosen Dal Shabet.
I said it.
For this week's Mature Swag edition we ask you who between 2PM in "Come back When You Hear This Song"
Or Super Junior in "Spy" pull off a more Mature, Manly look.
2PM, we might make fun of you for other stuff, but you definitely are pretty good dressers.
Leave your votes in your comments or on our facebook poll and we'll announce the winners next week.
[M]Hey Simon, you didn't even mention that part about the weird ending of the Music Video.
