So since this is the first time in english, which sounds kinda dirty, let me explain you real quick what this little category is about. In "Song of the Moment" i'm going to present you a Song that has been stuck in my head recently. And as u might know, i only listen to asian music, so i'm going to present you songs that you probably won't hear in the radio (especially if you happen to live in germany, like me.)
In the first "Song of the Moment" Blogpost i gave you a (probably) Classic Chinese Pop Song, called "星星點燈" from "鄭化". If you want to listen to it click on the following link and scroll down to the bottom and enjoy it: This is such an awesome Song, you shouldn't miss it, if u ask me. Don't worry it ain't no Rick Roll this time. Okay so far for the introduction. Now let's get to the second "love GIANT Blog Song of the Moment"...
I can say that this guy usually fails hard in disappointing me, so i checked out the MV he provided me with.
The Artist was called 싸이 or "PSY" and the Song 강남스타일 "GANGNAM STYLE".
If you compare this Track to the first one from "Song of the Moment" u might see, that music definitly developed, in terms of the Sound itself, as well as the MV's (let alone that the first one was Classic Chinese Pop and this one is "Modern" Korean Pop.)
Anyways. The Lyrics of the Song (i found an MV with translated lyrics) are... well... let's say "standard". Nothing you can say much about. But the MV... OH MY THE MV! I really like it, when Artists don't take themself too serious, and 싸이 is doing and awesome job at this point. If you see the video, you know what i mean. He's making "feel good" music and the MV underlines this perfectly. You can easily tell that he's having a shit load of fun at what he's doing. And let's not forget the great dance that comes with the video. Forget this whole silly wanna-be "YOUUUUUUUU" yelling that makes no sense and isn't even funny and try the 강남스타일 dance. Never seen such a great choreography. Dirty dancing? Get away with this bullspit, it can't mess with the 강남스타일 dance.
AAND the point that made me walk into the kitchen to get myself a bucket to catch my saliva was... what? Yes, of course. The ladies who are featured in the video. Long story short check out the MV:
Now. It seems that we, the germans, need to have some sort of a "Summer song" every year. Back in the day i remember Artists like Tiziano Ferro or something and Las Ketchup... hold on i' feeling kinda sick remembering this... okay. The last group even had a lame dance that some people had to try out. Do yo remember the "Macarena"? Yeah. Now picture a group of girls who can't sing and dance and you got one of our "Summer hits".
I don't think that "강남스타일" will EVER be aired on german radio stations. Why? Because it is korean and not german or english? No wonder some countries still think that we are racist, with this attitude. And it sucks, because this Song really has the potential to be the official "Summer hit 2012." (By the way: Don't say "They won't air it in Germany, because no one understands it." First: "Tiziano Ferro" and "Las Ketchup" also didn't sing in german or english (i guess it was italian and/or spanish) Second: There are tons of people who don't understand the lyrics of english songs, but still listen to it, third: I bet there are enough people who learn japanese, chinese and/or korean. So that argument doesn't count.)
Anyways, so far, "강남스타일" has got good ambitions to be my personal "Summer hit 2012" Because the MV really gives u a summer-feeling, (since you get extremely HOT at some scenes) let alone the Song. It gets easily stuck in your head, it kinda "sounds" like summer and you just want to go out and try that dance out, as well. You never know; maybe some asian ladies start approaching you out of nowhere and join right in...
