Don't know if it's in your links, but somewhere on Youtube is an atrocious English rendering of Freestyle's "Tell Me Why".

i think its hysterical. that guy is like a poor man's KFED. I didn't even know that was possible.

and i am always a little curious about what they are actually saying after the obligatory english quarter-of-a-sentence in the chorus.

Someone by the name of Sarah Conner did the TVXQ song "Under my Skin"

A rare example of a Korean written song being sold to an American label...
