Unless you live under a rock, I'll warrant you can not have avoided the rocket-like rise to global celebrity of South Korean pop star Psy.
But I'll bet few of you have heard of Berkeley, California-based Korean band Ra-On?
By the magic of the interblogs, I can remedy that. They play Psy's hit song. But differently.
I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.
That was pleasant enough; and listenable...but Psy's version created so much fun and happiness throughout the world...and that's what is unique about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I can proudly say I live under a rock and have absolutely NO IDEA who Psy is, what he's done, or have partaken of this global fun and happiness. I might, however, listen to your video here .... xxx
ReplyDeleteLike Psy they should be shot!
ReplyDeleteYeah, what Adullamite says, but I do like the one with Obama on it.
ReplyDeleteI think this crazy world we live in needs a bit of fun and if something like the Psy music track/video and performances have made people happy, I can't see anything wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteThere's enough gloom and doom surrounding us every day, no matter where in the world we live...surely we can relax some and enjoy a bit of innocent silliness...if only for a brief moment!
While I seldom can resist the urge to comment on Korean music posts, I'll put this one on the shelf to savor later.
ReplyDeleteArgh. You're all curmudgeons. I bet you suck a lemon every morning to get your faces properly puckered.
ReplyDeleteWhereas me? I'm an everyday ray of sunshine.
Okay. I'll downgrade the "all" to...Adullamite, Bulletholes, and Max.
ReplyDeleteLemon's? Oh yeah!
