The first line of the 'Real Slim Shady' by Eminem definately reminds me of Korea:

Ya'll act like you never seen a white person before
jaws all on the floor
like pam and tommy just burst in the door

CAKE has a tune "I Bombed Korea".

I bombed korea every night.
My engine sang into the salty sky.
I didn��t know if I would live or die.
I bombed korea every night.

I bombed korea every night.
I bombed korea every night.
Red flowers bursting down below us.
Those people didn��t even know us.
We didn��t know if we would live or die.
We didn��t know if it was wrong or right.
I bombed korea every night.

(...this verse has a ring of truth to it:....)
And so I sit here at this bar.
I��m not a hero.
I��m not a movie star.
I��ve got my beer.
I��ve got my stories to tell,
But they won��t tell you what it��s like in hell.

Red flowers bursting down below us.
Those people didn��t even know us.
We didn��t know if we would live or die.
We didn��t know if it was wrong or right.
We didn��t know if we would live or die.
I bombed korea every night.

When I go into a Korean grocery store and visit the beer and coffee sections, I think about the song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones.

"I went down to the local mart
To get your beer order filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Kim
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a shot of soju
He said, "No, let's drink Cass instead"
I sung my song to Mr. Kim
Yeah, and he said one word to me,
and that was "dead".

I said to him

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need"

Just for trivia sake, that's a Dead Boys song, but GNR cover it wonderfully.

here's one that runs thru my head on my way to work everyday:

"SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE" by the Stormtroopers of Death

some more that are appropriate:

"SHE LOVES MY CO*K" by some heavy metal band

"TOO DRUNK TO F**k" the Dead Kennedies

"WHITE MINORITY" Black Flag

"THERE AIN'T SH*T ON TV TONIGHT" minutemen
