Don't hate me. Have you heard/watched it? Apparently it's a hit here and both my boys can sing and dance it. My hubbie has no idea what it is, bless him!

Sounds like the thing Mari posted on EF1 a few weeks back. It has turned up on the adverts part of the on-demand stuff on my cable box recently.

It's in Korean (with a few words in English) so basically nobody knows what this guy is singing. I am curious why has it become a universal hit? I find it vulgar.

At the American Music Awards MC Hammer got in on the action (around 2:50):

It can't be that bad if it's got 783 million hits on YouTube.

I believe they are doing a zwarte piet version in the Netherlands. Or so I heard.

That was probably because that forum wasn't working.

The song was on last Monday's I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue that I was listening to last night. Tony Hawks was given the task of singing the song in a round of Drop Out Song where they have to sing along and keep in time when the music is faded out and back in again a short while later.

I think I saw about 30 seconds of it, and that was enough for me to decide I wouldn't torture myself further and was already regretting those lost seconds.

Because of the annoying way in which Virgin show the same adverts incessantly on the programme selection screens, I have heard the same 30 seconds dozens of times... along with a few other adverts that I hate. Still beats the annoying Cheryl Cole one they were playing for weeks.

* is utterly amazed * I just accessed EF1 and posted in the countdown thread almost instantaneously! Our Anglican High School has a (truly excellent) Korean woman in the Art Dept., who plays KPop in the background most of the day, this has had an odd cultural impact but is no bad thing. One track that seems particularly difficult to ignore has the chorus, 'Sexy, young and single, and ready to bingo'. What an eye-opener - I thought bingo was for old ladies ... ... the lads in the video do seem oddly feminised though.

I followed up your post in EF1. It took me 41 seconds to read your post and another 9 seconds to make a reply. Still noticeably slow but not impossible. I keep logging in to EF1 to see who is still trying to access it and when I know the people concerned, I send them emails about this place.

That's so considerate of you Steve. Korean pop culture is quite popular in Asia. But I didn't know the term KPop until recently. Some men of my age love it. Oh well...

I'm not sure it was any existing language, to be honest.

I watched half of in on youtube a cpl days ago .. unimpressed. It was vaguely catching but not enough tojustify nearly a million views and I could not be bothered to sit through to the end

It's sort of fun for about 30 seconds.
