This week's Music Monday will have you doubting your spelling skills with MBLAQ's "Smoky Girl"
Ok, I'm not really sure what we could do here apart from looking you in the eyes and using our adult voices
This song is seriously awesome
For us so far this is the best song of the year.
I don't even feel like joking about it and making lame skits because I like it so much.
We talked about it last week for our list of our best kpop songs of 2013 thus far
But I kind of feel like saying, that this is up there with my favorite kpop songs ever
I kind of slightly disagree
30 seconds to disagree
Starting now
I think that this is a wonderful song
I agree
I think that this is one of the best songs of the year
I also agree
I think that this might be The Best Kpop song of the year,
I kind of disagree with you on that one
What song would be better?
I think PSY's "Gentleman" was better. I think it's catchier. And I had it stuck in my head longer.
[M]And it can go across.... [S]Well PSY isn't really kpop...
[S]PSY's a totally different realm.. [M]How is PSY not... Of course PSY is kpop!
[S]He's Korean but he's not kpop [M]And it's pop music. It's totally pop music. And "Gentleman" was so catchy
[M]And I sang it all the time and you still sing it. "Smoky Girl" is...
Good day, Sir.
Laaame~
I want to talk a bit about how impressive this video is within the sphere of Kpop.
This feels to me like the Korean version of Justin Timberlake's "Suit & tie" in a sense that it has that old fashioned Hollywood male feel to it
You know what I'm saying?
It has got that classic black and white opening.
The awesome suits and fedoras
And there isn’t an abundance of strange mismatched accessories or props. This is like anti-Bilasa
Well except for that one...
They laughed at me when I introduced giant chess pieces but then U-kiss used it
And EvoL used it and now MBLAQ is using it
Who is laughing now biatchez?
Brohohoho Brohohoho Brohohoho
What's even more surprising to us is that the music Really takes the forefront.
This video doesn't have a lot of long zoom-ins of MBLAQ's faces reaching for the camera an rubbing their faces.
In fact the lighting made it that they were very heavily shadowed. And even the editing cuts between the shots were really quick.
I really feel like I haven't this type of Music focused Kpop Video in the Kpop world for a very long time.
Hi, and welcome back to Fangirling with Fangurilla!
I'm your host Seungrina. Hi giiiirls~
This week we're talking about MBLAQ's "Smoky Girl"
They are finally back! After almost a year and a half!
And there's so much sexy suit action and body rolling that my ovaries explode!
Hey, catch that!
They explooode~ Haha
Ovaries... Take ovaries to that side.
But I do have a complaint about the video.
There's not enough MBLAQ in there!
Too many shadows and too many girls dancing around them.
And who is this Smoky Girl? Is it that leggy blond girl in the end?
Show me your face or I'll rip off your legs and beat you with them!
Haha, I didn't mean that.
Well that's it for this week's episode of Fangirling with Fangurilla.
See you next time. And remember girls...
I'm not ugly, I'm exotic!
Mwuah~ Hahahaheyah
Good evening and welcome to EYK news at six.
I am PigglesMcWiggles Phastestpigiein de East
Tragedy struck last night in Gangnam, South Korea at club "I am a sexy dancing"
When the sprinkler system filled with toxic neon green radioactive sludge unloaded on a nightclub
Killing everyone. CCTV video footage revealed that instead
of immediately evacuating the club they continued to dance excitedly while rubbing the toxic chemicals all over their bodies.
Within half an hour they were all dead.
Next up after the break
A case study: why do the backup dancers in Kpop club videos suck so bad at looking like they are having a good time.
I really love this smooth moving dance. Ooooh I Loved it!
It matched the mature adult vibe of the song perfectly. Adult.
What with the nonchalant hands in their pockets and the toe-rubbing.
And yet it was just complicated enough to make me look like a super idiot when I tried to mimic it.
But there is one single dance move that stood out amongst the rest.
No, seriously. What the snap was up with that randomness?
As for the English of the song I give this a
4 lemons out of 5 lemonades
The chorus is entirely in English, and it’s supposed to be Smoky Girl, but to me instead, it kinda sounds like
Also, there’s a part of the song in which they say “she was smoky girl.”
I’m not sure if there should be an A or The in there, or if her name was just Smoky Girl, so I’m not going to complain about it all too much.
On a kinda related note, though, is just my thoughts the Korean lyrics.
"He sees a girl sitting, and with her thin wrist, she’s holding/drinking lemon juice.”
Lemon juice? That’s pretty hardcore. I don’t know many people that straight up drink lemon juice. Lemon Aid, lemon martinis- yes, but lemon juice?
Now I know why they were drawn to her at the club. She probably looked like:
Two weeks ago we put Exo vs TVXQ for the best animalistic video, and, yet again, TVXQ won.
Nothing will ever beat Balloons. NOTHING! NOTHING, DO YOU HEAR ME?!
For this week’s showdown, we ask you which awkwardly placed backup club dancers you preferred: MBLAQ’s in Smoky Girl, or 2PM’s in Hands Up
Both groups in clubs with a bunch of really shitty dancers. Leave your votes in the comments, or in our Facebook poll, and we’ll announce the winner next week
