Kickin' It in Geumchon; Beer
december 08, 2008 12:06pm – in Korea
The EV Boyz' "Kickin' it in Geumchon" overflows with such toxic fail(ure), that I wondered if I should even post it here. Time has passed and I realize must.
These gentlemen get a D for musical ability, an F for lyrical inventiveness (Does absolutely nothing else fit in that rhyme scheme than "Ohh Ohhh!"? What about "Here we go!"?) and an F for sense of humor. But unfortunately, like "Scary Movie" and its countless offspring, it gets an A+ in "listing and depicting a bunch of familiar things," which does make it of interest to anyone involved in this Korean ESL business.
"Drinkin' Cass-uh. Drinkin' Hite-uh. Feelin' alright." Hoho, it's true. They do pronounce Cass, and Hite that way. I can relate. The EV Boyz are talking about two of the most popular domestic beers. The other is O.B. Do you ever wonder why you can't buy Korean beer in most American groceries? Because the quality is shockingly (Sorry, Korea) poor. Spoofing the names of the local brews breaks down thusly:
Hite: Shite
Cass: c-Ass
OB: B.O.
No one broke their back coming up with those.
Stay tuned to see me actually say something nice about this country.
