  • This week's Music Monday will call your doctor with

  • E-E-Electric Shock

  • OK

  • This song

  • totally

  • ROCKS!

  • We love this song

  • The dragon base line

  • and the super catchy chorus

  • has pushed this music video to around

  • 16 million views!

  • And I'm sure it will keep on going

  • Now we usually have something to complain about when we are reviewing a song

  • but it was really hard to find something to complain about with this song

  • Biggest complaint that we could thing of is that

  • this song kinda sounds like really similar to fx's other songs

  • But it doesn't really bother us that much

  • so we're not gonna put it up there in a complaint section

  • Hello, complaint section

  • NO.1 My parrot is dead

  • NO.2 fx's recent songs are so much to the last song

  • but it still rocks

  • Scratch that last one

  • Start to finish, we just love this song

  • and we think it perfectly fits to fx's style

  • and we are happy to see fx back in the game

  • Now, some people think that we are keep on ragging on SM

  • But really our favorite songs of the year comes from SM

  • SHINNEE, 'Sherlock' is still intensely awesome

  • and EXO's 'I lost my pants' song is just as flawless as ever

  • even though "RIPPITO FLIPPITO SIPPI slow motion"

  • SM makes some really awesome music

  • We just wish we could say the same thing about their music videos

  • which their tendency to trap their artists in oddly rooms

  • are really painfully boring

  • They are colorful that's for sure

  • but plotless and

  • super

  • duper

  • scooper uncreative

  • But honestly, Simon and I have discussed this really a lot ousted of our videos

  • and we have come to a kind of shocking conclusion

  • From SM's perspective,

  • Why would they wanna spend more money for a creative music video?

  • And we don't mean this as sarcastically

  • If the song sounds good,

  • people will listen to it and watch the music video

  • And if they don't like the music video, doesn't really matter

  • because fan groups will watch the music video on loop

  • regardless of how boring and repetitive the music video is

  • because they wanna show their support for their favorite group

  • So.. how making a creative music video

  • really will help out SM Entertainment?

  • They are getting tens and tons of views regardless

  • and so they think

  • It ain't broke don't fix it!!

  • Now for their new groups, like EXO

  • SM is still trying to impress people

  • and get new fans into the group

  • So of course they are going to make a bigger budget video

  • But for the stable groups who has got tons of support

  • I guess it's a waste of money to spend money on a big budget video

  • However, if they are interest in getting new people into Kpop

  • People who aren't into Korean culture

  • or aren't into Korean music

  • or have no association with Asian culture

  • then they've gotta need to change up their music video a bit

  • That's all I'm saying

  • Even though we super duper love this song

  • I'm personally getting really bored

  • with the really predictable music video machine

  • which is SM Entertainment

  • Oh look what a surprise

  • fx is wearing bizarre, mix-match, neon clothing

  • ooh.. cactus earring

  • one single Junsu banana earring

  • a single dinosaur earring

  • ooh Amber is wearing a fashionable gold pack

  • as a life vest

  • and she just have one sock

  • which is covered in random vegetables

  • And she pulled the whole look together with her army shorts

  • I mean I get it

  • fx is suppose to be SM's like

  • corky bizarre dressed group

  • But c'mon

  • Isn't it possible for them to grow a bit and

  • to change

  • and to wear that is actually fashionable and cool looking?

  • They always look like a dollar store exploded all over them

  • I mean what could possible have happened

  • fx to be stuck to this particular image?

  • Hey Joe

  • I'm punching out ok?

  • Oh good night buddy, i'll see you later

  • Good night~ / You too~

  • oh...crap!!!!

  • Argh!! I'm gonna get fired for this

  • Ah... which one goes where...

  • oh...god

  • Maybe this here

  • and.. this there

  • Ah...god I hope that's enough

  • Oh god.. they'll never know!

  • They'll never know!

  • Horrendously unfashionable decide

  • that flashy boxes that SM is consistently trapping their artist in their music videos

  • For once,

  • it's kind of relevant

  • The song is called the Electric Shock

  • and you can see the neon light kind of flowing

  • almost like an electrical current

  • So that sure SHOCKINGLY make sense

  • Get it? Shock

  • Shockingly..

  • Make sense....

  • (Martina) You cut off my joke in the beginning

  • OH because your joke wasn't funny

  • The song is about falling in love

  • but playing with the is kind of

  • like a heart bouncy kind of metaphor which make sense

  • Dancing with your friends and playing with catarrhous and taisors

  • is just a little bit unfair

  • In last, that kind of SM is your thing

  • SM Entertainment

  • Safety word for tonight is banana

  • And then there is a part of the song

  • where they are describing to a doctor

  • they symptoms that they are feeling

  • Hello, I'm a doctor

  • Doctor, I've got the weirdest symptoms and I'm really worried

  • Tell me about them

  • Well for starters, I think i'm going blind

  • I can see that

  • Please continue tacky lady

  • Also I'm out of breath

  • I have a fever

  • I can bearly speak

  • And my ears are ding dong ding dong

  • ding dong ding dong is not a clinical term

  • carry on

  • Also my head spinning and also my heart is beating very fast

  • Is that all?

  • Yes doctor, those are my symptoms

  • I...I think i'm in love

  • and I think your dying from super mega gita black plaid

  • with a side of leopard seat

  • please touch your armpits

  • ooh,.. tender

  • oh.. oh yah

  • We're gonna need a lock down and core 1 team on super tacky lady

  • WHAT? My name is Amber

  • okay? Not super tacky lady

  • Amber!!!

  • [the dance]

  • I thought the dance for this song was pretty cute

  • Not quite what I imagined for a song called Electric Shock

  • this dance looks kind of more like a bysap curl

  • Yah... you guise ready?

  • You ready to sweat??

  • You ready to do it? Let's do it

  • Alright! Let's go

  • One two~ Oh yeah~~~

  • One two~ Oh yeah~~~

  • OH...NO..

  • I'll take that back

  • I'm sorry I'll take that back

  • Because I expected more sharp and quick like more fierce

  • something like violent like electrical feel

  • like running through all different members

  • when they touch each other sets up like a domino effect dance moves

  • like someone is being electrocuted

  • That would have been really cool

  • But I did really like the members like criss cross around each other

  • and moved a lot around the stage

  • But it wasn't really intricate and catchy as their past dances

  • like NU-ABO and Danger

  • [the english ]

  • As for the English of this song we've gotta say

  • 4 out of 5

  • It's gotta the typical amount of cool English words sprinkled throughout the song

  • and we are quite impressed with the word electric

  • Having the vast potential of disastrous mispronunciation

  • was actually pronounced just fine

  • But there is one word in this song that doesn't make no sense

  • Gazy?

  • Ge-ge gazy

  • I'm not sure if they are trying to say gaze

  • as with in your eyes

  • or gauge as in a tool for measuring stuff

  • But that doesn't make one drop of sense to me

  • Frankly I wanna give them a 3 out of 5 with that horrendous word

  • but Martina insisted on a 4 out of 5

  • but in my heart of heats

  • I give you 3 and that's the only thing that matters

  • I think it's a three

  • I've been noticing these kind of patterns from fx's

  • I know some of them speak English fluently

  • but the lyrics seem as if they have the vocabulary of a 2 year old

  • In Danger we had

  • dadadadadadada!!

  • In N we had

  • nanananananana!!

  • And here we have

  • Na na na na na na!!

  • Hey fx and 2NE1, I'm on to your nonsense language

  • My next guess, give it to 2 years from now

  • You're not even gonna sing a English or a Korean song

  • but a baby talk

  • [the showdown]

  • Last week asked which retro throw back song you preferred

  • Infinite with Paradise

  • or U-kiss in Believe

  • and the winner was...

  • Infinite

  • by like....

  • A LOT

  • sounded exactly like it, didn't it?

  • It was perfect

  • I know, it was like exact cover of the song

  • You are really accurate at this thing

  • YES!

  • For this week's childhood vocabulary edition we ask

  • which nonsense language do you prefer?

  • fx's "na na na na na" in Electric Shock

  • or 2NE1's "bam baratatata" in I'm the Best

  • WHOOH...this is going to be nasty battle, isn't it?

  • Leave your votes in the comments

  • or in our Facebook pole

  • and we'll announce the winner next week

  • Also next week's KPOP Music Monday is going to be really hard

  • because I'm sure that Super Junior will be coming out

  • so that means it's not going to be hard to decide at all

  • Super Junior is probably gonna win

  • But if you wanna give another band a chance

  • head on over to eatyourkimchi.com/kpopcharts

  • and leave your votes there
