She’s So Outta Control You Gotta Love The Way She… Wait… WTF?

Hello hello~

So this is a topic I have been meaning to write about for some time now, but somehow I kept forgetting about it…

When I first heard that m-flo and 2NE1 were going to collaborate on a track, I was SO very excited! They’re both two of my favorite groups, and for them to go together to make something.. It really is something worth expecting.

Basically, when the song came out, I wasn’t exactly blown away by it, but it grew on me pretty quickly, and it is indeed an awesome song!

HOWEVER… There is a huge problem with this release.. and trust me.. it’s not the song..
So naturally.. you would expect a super awesome music video if any were to exist. With both groups in it and all.. but.. NO. You’re not getting that.

Instead.. How about you enjoy some random cheerleaders that jump around with some awkward and creepy smiles on their faces. But don’t worry.. it doesn’t end here.. The music video is further graced with the absurdity of the cheerleaders exposing their different underwear.. and eventually ripping their skirts and tops off..

Thank you..
..for scarring me for life…

Enjoy!

Like it?

Music Meme : Day 25

DAY 25 : A SONG THAT MAKES YOU LAUGH

Don’t Stop Me Now by m-flo feat. Akihiro Namba
Akihiro‘s accent is just epic. HAHA this song isn’t bad or anything, in fact I love m-flo a lot. The problem is usually when this song comes up on my iPod when I’m outside or something, and I can’t help but to slightly giggle to myself. It’s actually just the intro of the song that puts me a little off, but by the time Verbal enters and it gradually reaches the chorus, it becomes quite nice.

Here are some selected parts of the lyrics, haha:

(Intro) Waking up, spike my hair and wash my hands
Feel so bad cause I don’t like that guy on TV
I got my boots on, feeling like a man
Play me some punk rock
That’s all I need

Yesterday our damn prime minister said he’s gonna quit
(Can’t stop loving or believing
I don’t wanna run out of reasons…no)
Last night my favorite team didn’t win
(I’m gonna do it till the morning
I’m gonna rock to the to the to the…)

[………]

All I know is that I still don’t know the world
Feel so bad cause I just broke up with my girl
Check my phone, I feel like a loser no one called
I need punk rock
Don’t need that bitch

Yesterday I heard some countries started a war
(Can’t stop loving or believing
I don’t wanna run out of reasons…no)
Last night we all passed out on the floor
(I’m gonna do it till the morning
I’m gonna rock to the to the to the…)

To be fairly honest however, it’s actually a good song. They deliberately had someone with a strong accent sing those English parts, cuz let’s face it, have you heard Verbal‘s English? Akihiro is actually from a punk rock band called HI-Standard, where the members are all Japanese born, but their major releases are in English. For the song, I suppose it’s to give it some sense of “Japanification” because the song has this symbolism of “youth uprising”.

Which in return, is just keeping your identity intact.
Because well.. you know.. “Asians, we rise with the sun~”

Rebellious. I like it.

I also have this hunch that this is a song about getting together after the Tsunami earthquake last year. Hence the prime minister reference. Naoto Kan.. That’s too bad.
