This week's Music Monday is the funny walk edition
with Super Junior's "Mr. Simple"
[music]
Alright, first: gotta get this off my chest.
Simon, I'm really sorry, alright?
But how totally awesome was Siwon's hair? OMG! Really funky!
It was totally like a James Dean-esque hairstyle,
And Shindong finally got rid of his awful Mushroom bowl haircut,
if just for a few seconds in the video. We totally loved it!
So, we noticed from a lot of comments that we were reading online
that many people were disappointed with this video, and
truthfully, we were disappointed as well.
It's not to say that this video wasn't good,
it's just that there was so much hype leading up to the video
that, you know, we kind of expected something bigger.
Maybe some kind of mini movie?
Instead we just got a simple Super Junior video
with a bunch of well-dressed guys dancing in a kind of funky room.
Now, despite the letdown of the video,
we've really been waiting for another Epic Super Junior song
you know, something along the lines of Sorry Sorry and Bonerama.
Oh Simon no! You gotta stop saying that! That's not the name of the song!
What do you mean?
Bonerama?
Yeah.
No.
Oh right. You do raise a very valid point but NO THE NAME STAYS
BONERAMA BONERAMA BONERAMA DUH NUH DUH NUH.
Anyhow, after listening to the song a bunch of times,
it really feels like the song is suffering from an identity crisis.
I mean, the first part of the song has a really smooth candlelit jazz cafe feel to it,
and you can really hear their vocal talents in it,
but then another song comes in, which is the real Mr. Simple of the video,
and it has a perfect Trance Anthem feel to it,
which is perfect for KILLING ZOMBIES!
In fact, what's the only scientific way to kill a zombie?
BLOW THEIR MINDS.
And, as part of the dance, you actually see them do the zombie walk as well
Zombie Walking Zombie Walking Bonerama Bonerama.
Coincidence? I don't think so.
Anyways, when the dance sequence comes in,
the song kinda changes a lot, and then the rap starts again,
and then there's singing that comes over it and it changes,
and then the Mr. Simple part comes in, and then, yeah,
it's kind of just a hodgepodge of a lot of sounds.
Now, it's not that the hodgepodge doesn't sound good:
I'd just like to hear each of the sections as their own individual song,
I guess the first time we listened to it, it felt a little bit awkward,
almost like we were listening to a mashup.
But after the first few listens the song easily grows on you.
Speaking of identity crisis, whatever happened to those "ubersexual" photo teasers?
Remember those? When they're dressed up like the totally terrifying rainbow parade mafia?
Arresting you for your crimes and for not looking super fabulous!
Seriously! Girls, I don't understand you very well,
because I've been married for a few years now and I'm totally out of the game,
but is this what you want your man to look like?
Pink Leopard print tank tops?
Feather Flower Boas?
Multi colored *** ropes?
I'm sorry girls, I don't care what you say, but that looks ridiculous.
COME AT ME BRO!
In fact, we're a little bit disappointed
that we couldn't poke more fun at their outfits in the video.
The best that we have is a guy wearing a man-apron,
and a bunch of guise with strings and ropes around their necks.
I guess it's because they're KNOTTY KNOTTY.
Get it? Because they have knots in their ropes,
and their knots, ah it's a pun.
I don't know, it could just be us,
but we were really disappointed that the video
had no relation to the teaser photos.
I mean, isn't a teaser photo "teaser"
supposed to give you a hint of what is to come?
Instead it was like teaser photo, music video: totally no relation.
Personally, I was waiting for an epic underpants trance dance.
And I think you know who I'm talking about.
Oh yeah! I'm looking at you Siwon,
Green neon underpants plus green knee socks
plus neon green sneakers
equals AWESOME EPIC TRANCE DANCE PARTY!
[SHOOT THEM LIKE A WATERMELON!]
Things just got crazy up in here. But I digress.
Ok, so despite the video not living up to the photo teaser hype
We actually still did like the video,
but there was one thing that did annoy us about it,
See, the video's focus should be on Super Junior's dances,
and the faces that they make at the camera,
you know, when they make the sex with the face.
We totally understand that.
We just hate the post-production of the video with the really cheesy sound effects,
like, every time you brush off your shoulder or draw boxes in the air,
you shouldn't have samurai sounds!
and if I headbutt the camera, it shouldn't make a thumping sound either.
The sound effects are just so cheesy and it really seems mismatched with the rest of the video.
[TOTALLY OSM SOUND EFFECTS!]
[TOTALLY OSM MUSIC!]
I don't know, maybe it's just me,
but didn't something feel a little bit familiar about this dance,
LOLY POLY LOLY POLY!
No? Maybe not. Anyways, for a song called Mr. Simple,
the dance is pretty befitting, as it is very simple,
but is it really? Is this dance simple?
Or does it represent the deep and profound struggle of everyday life?
Trying to find that safe balance between brushing off your problems
AND MURDERING EVERYONE THAT ANNOYS YOU!
Oh you forgot to put the foam on my latte?
That's ok, that's cool man. I'll just brush it off
I'LL KILL YOU WHERE'S MY FOAM?!?!!
Oh. 2NE1 fans are upset again that we didn't review 2NE1 this week.
That's ok we'll be fine
WE ALREADY REVIEWED THREE OF THEIR SONGS
Y R U SO MAD AT US Y KNO WE LOVE YG!
Oh, that's cool guise. I know you want me to do the dance this week
That's cool I don't mind I
Why didn't you let me finish my nap? Why did you wake me when I was sleeping?!
You make me so grumpy I was sleeping!
But if that's too complicated, you can just dry your sexy nailpolish!
[music]
As for the English of the song, we give this a
3 out of 5.
Now there's lots of English scattered throughout the song
and it's pretty good, but right at the beginning of the song...
BECAUSE I NAUGHTY NAUGHTY?!?!
COME ON!
FFFFUUUUU
JUST ASK SOMEONE! GET A WHITE FRIEND!
THEY CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS!
FFFFUUUUU!!!!
[music]
Last week we asked you which song sounded more like an anime theme song,
Infinite's Be Mine or Orange Caramel's Magic Girl
And Magic Girl crushed the infinite.
But that's only if you like those poppy girly animes.
If you're into, like, Super Flash Time Cop
Then Infinite definitely should have won!
For this week's Funny Walk Edition we ask you which funny walk you preferred,
Super Junior's Zombie Walk in "Mr. Simple"
Or B2ST's Penguin Pee dance in "Fiction"
Leave your votes in the comments, or in our Facebook poll,
and we'll announce the winners next week.
Also thanks to the thousands of ELFs who requested Super Junior's "Mr. Simple" this week,
and our sincerest apologies to all the Blackjacks
who probably hate our guts right now for not reviewing 2NE1
But you know we've already reviewed three of their videos,
and you know that we love YG
but we gotta stay true to the Facebook and Email votes
and, really, Super Junior did win this week,
by a lot, because a lot of people voted for them,
if you can't tell by all the names that are floating up here right now
What was I saying again? Oh yeah!
