^ Not bad, Dev.

I saw a werewolf with a Korean menu in his hand
walkin� through the streets of Suwon in the rain.
He was lookin� for the place called In-sa-dong, gonna get a big dish of waeguk chow mein.

Chorus:
Aaahoo, werewolves of Incheon
Aaahoo(2x)

Ya hear him howlin� around your hagwon door, ya better not let him in.
Little ajuma got mutilated late last night, werewolves of Incheon again.

Chorus 2x

He's the hairy, hairy ajoshi, who ran amok in Gimpo.
Lately he's been overheard in Daegu.
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your Seoul out, Kim.
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor.

Chorus 2x

Well, I saw Roh Moo-hyun walkin' with Kim Jong-il, doing the werewolves of Incheon.
I saw Lee Myung-Bak walkin' with Obama, doin' the werewolves of Incheon
I saw a werewolf drinkin� a soju at Itaewon
His hair was perfect.

ahhhooooo, werewolves of Incheon
Draw blood

"Chiquitita" ABBA

Little Minsu, tell me what is wrong,
are you shamed you can't speak English?
In this room, there is no speaking Korean
How you hate to come to my class,
There is no way you can deny it,
I can see, didn't bring your textbook, either.

Little Minsu, you must speak loud.
I won't laugh when you speak funny.
Your worst nightmare,
you'll love your 'hooked on Phonics'
You're always sound asleep,
now I see you checking out girls now.
I hope, you won't do things
you're dreaming now.

Little Minsu, you and I know,
that the teachers come and they go
and don't make no sense.
You'll be studying once again,
for the big exam,
you'll have no time for Englishee.

Little Minsu, you and I cram,
for there's some more time for
that good ol' rote learning,
Let me hear you say once more,
바보 선생님
What does that mean?, little Minsu.

Listen, Repeat, like you did before.
Class is over little Minsu.

[Xuanzang]

I see it on my lunchtray
I see it in with the joes
The kimchi that's all around me
And Uri Nara grows
They're smitten with the jiggae
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let me go

"Love Game" by Lady Gaga

Let's have some fun,
This beat is sick
I wanna take a bite of your peppero stick

Let's have some fun,
This beat is sick
I wanna take a bite of your peppero stick

I wanna kiss Yul
But if I do then I might miss you babe
It's complicated and lame
Got my ass squeezed by sexy Rain
Guess he wants to play,
Wants to play
Star Craft game
Star Craft game

Hold me and love me
Just want my pork not to burn
Baby three seconds is enough then the meat gets turned

Let's have some fun,
This beat is sick
I wanna take a bite of your peppero stick
Don't cook too much the porks not thick
To the grill our meat won�t stick.

The River Bruce Springsteen

I come from a western country
where mister when you're young
They bring you up do just like your daddy done
Me and Mee Ann we met at a hagwon
when she was co teaching with me
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the Han river
And into the Han river we'd dive
Oh down to the Han river we'd ride

Then I got MeeAnn pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my twenty nineth birthday I got an alien card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
She married the wayguk no wedding dress

That night we went down to the Han river
And into the Han river we'd dive
Oh down to the Han river we did ride

I got a job working high school for the SMOE Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them ajossis that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
MeeAnn acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in her Opa's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each kimchi breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it fan death or worse
that sends me down to the Han river
though I know the Han river is dry
That sends me down to the Han river tonight
Down to the Han river
my baby and I
Oh down to the Han river we ride

[mcviking]

Chorus: And I'm proud to be an Ajosshi
Where at least I know I can pee.
in the street, the cab, or anywhere
even when its quarter til three
And I gladly stand up next to you
And piss right here today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.
God bless the ROK

How about some Leonard Cohen? His style seems particularly relevant for this thread. Anybody up for the task? (sorry, but I am not gifted this way!)

[tiger fancini]

In the night I hear them talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along the road he lost his soul
To a dish so spicy
How could it be so spicy?
How could it be so spicy?

How could it be so
So spicy like Bool-dak when I eat it yo
Just remember that you are in Korea-yo
You need to watch the way you Hangookmalyo

I mean after all the things that we've eaten
I mean after all the times we were almost beaten
Hey yo I know of some things that we aint tried yet
And maybe one of them might be your friend's pet

And now you wanna go to Vips or Outback
Well sorry but my mind aint like that
I don't like western food because it's all unhealthy
Just give me Gochujang for me and self-y

[Dev]

Leonard Cohen? Okay!

Everybody Knows

Everybody knows that Mr. Kim is loaded
Everybody crosses the street with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war isn't over
Everybody knows a lot of Korean lives were lost
Everybody knows the majong match was fixed
Mr. Smith stay poor, Mr. Yoon get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that in the alley Mr. Lee is leaking
Everybody knows that the hagown lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their donut or their dog just got fried

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of pepero
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
At the barbershop everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows at the convenience store cash that it's you or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've consumed a kilo of kimchi in a night or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old waygook Joe's still teachin' English camps so often
Wearin' ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the H1N1 is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that it's the waygook's fault
He's ugly, dirty and smells like a rat
Everybody knows you soon could be dead
'cause there's a running fan next to your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're the trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From your bloody fight back in Calgary
To the beach of Jeju
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this ajumma's shopping cart
Before her chewing gum blows
And everybody knows

Excellent job with my Cohen request, Dev! Just frikking excellent! Thanks
for doing that!

[VanIslander]

some Pink Floyd,... as sung by the KT in the PS:

"We don't need no waygook teacher.
We don't need no word "hello".
A deep chiasm in the staffroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all I'm just another dick in the hall.
All in all we're just another dick in the hall."

My compliments to all the lyricists here! I think this thread, maybe more than any other I've seen, expresses our condition here. Bravo!

chorus:
I'm a teacher, you know what I mean,
and I do my cute accent in the classroom.
Yeah the classroom, yeah the classroom,

I'm too blonde for Suwon, too blonde for Incheun,
too blonde for Kwangju.
And I'm I'm too blonde for Masan, too blonde for Kunsan,

Chorus:

And I'm too blonde for hagwon, too blonde for a kindie,
the poor kids can learn from men!

And I'm too blonde for South Korea.
