Kevin: Simon Says is the name of the song? Ohhhh
I'm ready. Oh!
Oh That's not- That's a mask...on a head
Okay, well, so I've seen
*Remembers to intro* Hi guys! This is Umu from ReacttotheK
and this is Kevin and Simon Says that we should react to this NCT 127 song
Repackage of Regular-Irregular stuff
Um, I've seen this teaser. I have not heard it
Excellent.
It looks like I'm going to thoroughly enjoy the music video, but then again, there isn't a single NCT video that I don't enjoy
You ready? I am ready
laH
Hi Taeyong
Whatchu doing?
He could've- Watchu doing? Yeah, throw that mask. You don't wanna rob any banks
Ohhh Oh my gosh
Now it's an art exhibition
This is some good stuff. Oh, it's so good
Did they keep the cursing in?
I don't know
Is that death grip sample?
We're going to this side of NCT
I've been missing this side of NCT
Is that a horse? Is that a horse?
Wowww. Wait. Minor-major switch immediately
Sort of
We're changing so much
A little bit of dubstep
Sort of
Woah
Oh my gosh. So many octave jumps
Modal?
It's definitely modal. It's the exotic- It's like the Boombayah
Maybe?
It's the Boombayah/Love Cherry Motion scale
Phrygian natural 3
Oh, you got me there
I like the usage of that and I usually don't
yAs
Oh, they're having vocalists rap too
Mmm
My god
That horse. It's like- It's a horse neighing but pitched up
It could be a horse or a person who's hoarse *screaming*
I can't even scream that high
No, you got it. You were like, a couple of cents off but you got it
So many new sounds Yeah
That's definitely a person It goes between the falsetto and the chest voice
Oh it's new! Oh now it's major
It's got that afro *demonstrates*
Yeah. That type of vibe
Why is this so amazing
There it is
YeS
This is- this- Ooh minor
What's- (thought the tempo changed)
It's still-
Wow
Holy fudging shiz!
Strings?
I really wanna like *is shook by Taeil's voice*
Oh my god
Now we're back in the
K: phrygian U: During that bridge I really wanted to take off my headphones,
throw them down and just run around the room screaming
That's it
That was Simon Says
Ooh. That blue.
That BLUE my mind *laughs at his own joke*
pls help Umu
*laughs in shook*
Whaaat
So that was fantastically weird, modal, major, minor
Rap, hip-hop
Other scream-y
What
I-
I was already happy that the NCT sound that I'm familiar with- like the classic NCT sound came back
But this song just doubled down on it and became-
They take- Okay, so
Classic NCT is what we picture, what we connect with like,
Firetruck, um
Cherry Bomb
Boss, Cherry Bomb, Baby Don't Stop. It's the-
It's the very- It's the chromatic syncopated low synth
*Demonstration*
Something like that
And this had that, but with a smoother- It was like
*Demonstration*
Yeah So it's like they- they took their original sound and they-
With those songs they tended to use around the
Similar timbre between the synths. This was completely-
I mean- Didn't- What-
Was drumming tonic, right?
*Demonstration*
Yes
But that- that synth, I think, was a similar sound to past songs
Yes
But this new progression
and all the other sounds in this song were completely new change-up
That was so good
I like it And-
I mean, I felt like I was on the edge of my seat of getting tired of the melody with the
♪ Simon Says daa da ♪
But then they changed it
Was it the last- The second or last chorus?
The second chorus they changed it big-time, yeah
brUh
That was fantastic, and I'm going to enjoy it more and more, every single time I listen to it
Right now, NCT's Chain
and Touch
and Boss and We Go Up and Go
Those are all, like, fighting to be in my Top 2018 K-Pop Song Playli- Uh- Playlist
