This week's Music Monday is the polkamatic edition
with MBLAQ's "Mona Lisa"
[music]
Ok, so our opinions are a little bit torn about this song:
I personally don't like accordions and Spanish guitars in kpop music,
but Martina loves it.
I also didn't really like the single "Oh Yeah"
but Martina went crazy for both songs.
I don't know.
You know, I'm starting to think that Martina is secretly like 90 years old
with her undying love for accordion music.
Wait, wait a second:
She like accordions, pies, oatmeal cookies, knitting,
cheesy detective dramas and talking to houseplants.
!!! Oh my God!
*suspense music! Oh God it's so suspenseful!*
Martina was also a fan of Top's really old Grandfathery grey hair.
Hey! That's taking it too far.
Oh! What's this!
Is this a ginger snap?!
I like ginger snaps!
Who wants a ginger snap! Go get the ginger snap!
And, I don't know: they've got an accordion in the song,
and they're like "everybody in the house"…
What kind of house has accordion music?
Unless you're at a barmitzfah.
HAVA NAGILA HAVA NAGILA!
Well maybe I like barmitzfahs!
Although I've never been invited to one!
But if I did I would rock that thing!
Anyways, despite my deep love for the song, what was up with the music video?
It was totally and utterly confusing.
With a name like "Mona Lisa" I expected some kind of, like, Italian feel.
Or maybe like an art gallery movie,
or then I thought you know, the accordions and spanish guitars,
maybe there'd be some dark and smexy European movie plot.
But instead I got a grungy, dark gas station.
We honestly cannot figure out what this plot is about.
It just seems to be all the MBLAQ members hanging out at a gas station
In, like, really awkward places.
Oh hai! I was just chilling on this cement divider!
Yo! Didn't see you come in! Just chilling in this car doorway!
Yo! What's up? I'm digging this gas pump…smell?
And all of them are giving this girl stinky stinky McStinkerson
McStink Stink Stink eye when she pulls up for gas.
Then suddenly, she's in, like, a coffee shop
but it doesn't seem to serve anything except candles.
and then June suddenly shows up and joins her
and starts singing his guts out
and her face is like "OMG this conversation is so over!"
And then she just storms off in her car.
But she doesn't say anything. Actually…
Nobody says anything the entire video
Hmmm.
I wonder if this is some kind of secret mind-reading club that we're unaware of.
I imagine it would be pretty awkward if you accidentally stumbled into a club like that.
sick, Simon's got a huge piece of lettuce caught in his teeth,
gawd, when was the last time he brushed them. Oh sick!
Oh! Oh he smells like a man! Oh he needs to shower! Oh!
Man! I feel so gassy. I never should have had that broccoli pasta.
That's ok, I think I can let a silent one rip...
yup…Oh great success...
oh…oh no! Oh no...it was a silent but deadly
act cool…act cool...just blame it on the dog…just blame it on the dog
man I've got a hankering for rice pudding...
Alright, I gotta say something that's undoubtedly on everybody's mind
Is that guy wearing - and I'm just pointing out the obvious here-
Is that guy wearing red sneakers?
Red sneakers are so last year!
But at least he recovers by wearing black and white leotards…
which emphasize his shapely legs which are covered by his…man skirt.
That's right. I said skirt.
He's wearing a man skirt with leotards,
a fishnet shirt, a leather vest, and leather gloves.
What just happened here?
I'll admit: he confidently pulls it off,
but it seems like the stylist was specifically out to get him,
because everyone else in the band looks extremely fashionable,
especially the flying squirrel guy.
[music]
This song has such an exotic feel to it. I love it!
It reminds me of being at a European discotheque,
It has like the Spanish dancing, guitar playing,
throwing up the arm and stamping---
REALLY?! You're not going to talk about what could be
the most epic face arousal dance since SS501's "Love Ya"?
Oh Simon…it's ohhh…
This isn't just a single face arousal.
This is a double face arousal.
This is magnificent!
Ladies and gentlemen, what you are witnessing here is history in the making,
This is simply a beautiful and miraculous performance,
the boys have been training so hard
watch as they land their jump and do a double face arousal
That's right ladies and gentlemen: they touch their lips twice.
And just when you think it's over, oh no! They land another jump,
A triple sow cow, a double axel, and yet, another double face arousal.
Ladies and gentlemen: that is four full face arousals in under six seconds!
Simply miraculous! This is just beautiful! It's just so beautiful!
No, seriously, stop touching your face.
You're at a gas station for crying out loud!
[music]
As for the English of the song, we give this a
*super sexy intoxicating music*
oh thank you
4.8 out of 5
If it wasn't for the first 12 seconds of the song
we'd give this a perfect 5 out of 5,
but we tried listening to it over and over again,
and the only thing we could hear was…LEGO!
What is LEGO?
BUA EE EE!
This is Lego present!
Oh Mordney! We know that's you!
No! I am not the Mordney! I am Lego!
Really? Cuz you look a lot like Mordney?
No! He is just my very good looking cousin!
You know, MBLAQ: LEGO can be in your video!
Yeah?
No.
Max time!
[music]
Last week we asked you which Hyuna video looked like she had more ants in her pants:
Hyuna in "Bubble Pop" or Hyuna in "Change"
and the very clear winner was Hyuna in "Bubble Pop"
You know, if she had been the one to get pushed into that pool,
Maybe it would have satiated that ants in her pants problem.
For this week's Polkamatic edition we ask you who rocks the better accordion:
Ga In in "Irreversible" or MBLAQ in "Mona Lisa"
Leave your votes in the comments and we'll announce…
!!! I just realized something!
Ok?
You're such a liar! You loved that Ga In "Irreversible" song!
It's chock filled with accordion!
My God Simon! Oh My God!
*more suspenseful music that makes you feel deep, deep suspsense*
Also, thanks to all the A+ who voted for MBLAQ's "Mona Lisa" this week:
