Heard it for the first time this weekend. OMG~!!! What trash.

Who sings it?

Anyone have lyrics or a link to the video?

Intermixed into the Korean are the English lyrics:

I like chocolate, creamy, creamy(??) chocolate

and

Nothing compares to chocolate


Well, gotta give these Korean pop stars credit for decent enough English in their songs.

I think it's cute. The singer's name is Banana Girl. I have the song on my cyworld page. Look it up on cyworld's gift shop song list. The lyrics are there.

I suppose the metaphorical profundity of the song's lyrics are lost on you plebs.

Banana Girl is a misunderstood genius.

I can see the appeal for princess, the video features a lot of junk food and has a slow beat to shake his 300lb frame to while eating and crying.

Or are you just giving a manufactured troupe of talentless performers credit for a 'metaphor' which is neither clever nor misunderstood.

People credited Peter, Paul and Mary with 'misunderstood genius' for the 'metaphor' of marijuana use in Puff the Magic Dragon. Really, it was a song about a boy and a dragon.

Do you also credit the Venga Boys and Aqua with misunderstood genius for their use of metaphor? Probably not....because they're shiite, just like Banana Girl.
