Just curious as to which American songs are dominating the Korean version of MTV at this time?

When I was there it was Beyonce's 'Crazy in Love'
The Koreans luuuurved getting down to that one Very Happy

Do you want actual Western songs, or can we just give you the name of all the Korean songs that are ripping off Western songs?

Not sure about what's current, but at my last job the middle school boys did a great rendition of "I bereave I can pry".

Original new Western songs that are hot right now!
Like for example here in CT, anything by Nelly Furtado is heating up the airwaves.
Also Akon, JT's new songs, etc etc.

Just wanna know what everyone is getting down to over there??

"I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama with My Honolulu Mama Doing Those Hirohito Flat-on-My-Seat-O Blues"

Oh, wait that was in September, 1945.

I thought I was hearing that Blondie comeback hit "Maria" quite a bit.

Also hotel California seems to be holding on after thirty years on the Korean charts.

It's the Rebecca Luker's Ave Maria right? Well, Paul Schwartz is the composer. I heard it watching Stairway to Heaven. Never cried so much in my life. My eyes hurt for like a week. There was one Roora song it was rap, when I came back to the states after my vacation, I was listening to a hip hop station and I heard the exact same song in English. I was like wtf? Oh well, it's funny hearing Koreans rap.
