This week's Music Monday will get you a copy of the new 4minute CD with "Is it Poppin?"
We haven't had a chance to talk about 4minute in a long time
And I'm happy we finally got the chance to do so
So, in order to celebrate we're going to be giving away a 4minute CD at the end of this Music Monday
As for the song itself, it's not our favorite 4minute song ever.
I like WASH YO NAY (What's your name) a lot more.
As we did with "Volume Up" as well.
But it's still a pretty decent song which is really light-hearted and perfectly in time for the Summer season.
However we both agree that we like this song a lot more than the actual video
Which really seems to mismatch the lightness of the song.
Ok, so when I first heard this song, I heard it without even seeing the video.
and i pictured this kind of Sistar "Loving you" kind of beach party with 4minute grilling food
and playing games. And amongst all the merrymaking one of the members is trying to get a hold of her boyfriend secretly
And she's looking really disappointed that he never picks up
And then she's trying to be happy and have fun with her friends
I feel like that's a way better match to both the sound and lyrics of the song.
Instead we get a female version of MBLAQ's "Smoky girl"
Go to a club, dance at the beginning, then something drop on the ground,sprinkler system goes off and people dance happily despite the OBVIOUS DANGER.
It's almost the exact same video except for the ridiculous scene
In which I'm not sure if fire safety drills are taught here in Korea or not
But for us we were taught to Stop, Drop and Roll, not to Stop, Point and Gawk.
Oh my God, pretty fire~
If I see that the God damn roof is on fire while I'm at a club, I'm not going to point with my mouth hanging open
I'm going to be more like...
Is that like real fire?
I think it's a really pretty side effect
OH MY GOD, GET OUT OF MY WAY AAAAAAAH
But that could just be me.
Maybe in Korea you simply point at fire so that the sprinkler system knows where to sprinkle.
Some future technology they've got there.
Speaking of future technology, I'll tell you another piece of technology that's confusing.
It's called a telephone.
Which was only recently invented over a hundred years ago.
And its usage seems to baffle 4minute
Has this ever happened to you?
I want to make a phone call but I don't know how.
Well, let me show you the way.
First you dial the number.
Ok.
Next, you're supposed to...
Hello?
Hello~
N...No, dummy. That's not how phones work.
The phone is ringing.
You have to wait for someone to pick up.
*sigh* no one seems to be answering me.
[S]Ok... [M]Hello? [S]You're supposed... Wait a sec.
[S]Stop talking. [M]Hello? [S]It's ring...
Well you see the phone now has stopped ringing so you can hang up now.
Why did it do that?
And that ladies and gentleman is how Not to call somebody.
Yoboseyo? [S]Nope, they're still not there.
Hello? [S]Nope. That's not how it works. [M]It's complicated
You know, I was actually curious as to who they called
So I checked the number that they dialed.
34971672
What does it mean? Is it a secret code?
I had no choice but to call it and this is what I got.
34-971-672 Call.
Speaker.
*sigh* Yoboseyo? [The number that you've dialed is not in service] Yoboseyo?
And for starters, I don't know any man in Korea that would avoid Hyuna's call.
She is the most desired girl in Kpop right now.
Every Korean guy. EVERYONE that I spoke with says that she the hottest thing ever.
And I'm sure that is she called Any of them at Any time of day, they would be all like...
[TaeMAN ringtone. *giggle*] OH MY GOD MY PHONE IS RINGING.... Hey, hey, Hyuna?
It's me. Yes. No. I was just... No I'm not doing anything.
Ain't no one not picking up the phone for Hyuna.
But that's not the point.
The point is the lyrics of the song make them seem all sad and needy
But the video makes them look like they're having lots of fun
The lyrics should be like: Your boyfriend is avoiding you? Then he's a dick and you should break up with him.
Go out and have fun with your friends instead.
And don't forget to pack your best aegyo moves
I see the new Kpop dance trend is butt rubbing.
Butt rubbing and butt shaking and butt showing.
Sistar19 what have you started?
We've got Girls Day, 2PM and now 4minute making their butts the prime focus.
But I feel like I've somehow seen this dance somewhere before. Hm...
Simon, can you close the door? I'm just going to grind some beans.
Oh, ok.
*farting sounds*
Oh God, it smells like death in here.
*more farting sounds*
Oh God!
SooZee NOooooo!
*KABOOM*
Well that escalated quickly.
I just wanted to make a fart wafting joke.
Explosions are cool too, though.
As for the English of the song I give this a...
2 out of 5
It would be fine for just Hyuna's part. In which she had just one word of English
But the beginning of the song is Such a garble mess of mumble crossing that I'm tempted to give this a 0.
After their "A A A AAA" they say...
Get yo... show right now.
Get yo big girl show right now.
Some people say it's "get your big girl Swag right now"
But there's NO freakin way that's possible.
It's barely comprehensible.
In fact, it's so bad that... Well usually when we don't know what the English is for a song
We kind of cheat by watching the live shows and reading the subtitles.
But at that part of the song the English is so nonsensical that even the subtitler gave up.
When he listened to that part of the song he was like:
ugh... gh....ugh... Ah, fuck it!
And wrote nothing.
4minute. 2 out of 5
And that's being generous.
Last week we put MBLAQ vs 2PM in a show down for the crappiest back-up dancers at a club.
And you preferred the dancers in "Smoky girl"
Who, unlike the dancers in "Hands Up" did not look like they hated their lives.
For this week's show down we're putting 4minute's "Is it poppin?" vs 2PM's "A.D.T.O.Y."
For the best bum rubbing dance.
So much sensual butt dancing lately.
You should review B.A.P.!
But what about 2ne1's new video?
Review them too!
But I can't review both videos in one week.
Don't sleep and just do them both.
NO! I WON'T BE BULLIED BY YOU ANYMORE! You pick one and stop yelling at me every week! It's very rude of you!
I... I'm sorry... I'm just very passionate about my bands.
I understand. Harness that passion and convert it to votes on who we should do for next week's KMM
