 |
|
My school's taking us on an outing, which will include a norebang, over the winter break. I missed the last outing, so I was told that I would be required to do a "special performance." The last WeiGookIn at this school to have this honor sang in Korean, and that really impressed the teachers here. That gives me a month and a half to start practicing 
SO! What songs do you know? What songs are easy? What songs are there that will make Koreans laugh?
Here's one that I'm working on, but it's still a little fast for me during the verses:

anything from the 50's-70's. Once you've heard a few songs of that sort you're gold. As long as you can read Korean, most Korean songs from those years are easy to predict in terms of tempo and changes once you hear the first few bars.
I love going to the Norae Bong with a bunch of Koreans, singing a Korean song I've never heard before and scoring 100. The look on their faces = priceless. |

| 무조건 is good. It's easy to learn, easy to sing, and everyone knows it. A real crowd pleaser. Only 1 verse, sung twice, and a chorus repeated three times. Plus it's fun to do; there is lots of room to ham it up if you enjoy performing. |

+1 Spend a few dozen times in Noraebangs and you learn all the popular songs and you realize how similar a lot of em all are. |

어머나 by 장윤정 never lets me down. its extra silly if you're a six foot whiteboy like me.
a good one also is 챠우챠우 by deli spice. its very easy even with limited korean like mine.
ah- and 오빠 by wax is pretty funny. |

I like to sing old school H.O.T. songs.
Because people naturally jump in so you can sort of trail off at the end. Learn the first 30 seconds and you basically are carried throughout the rest of the song by the people you go with lol.

Is it me or is like the SES, HOT, and TURBO years like the bomb?
I swear, Korean music is still pretty awesome now... but damn those HOT years ago were seriously the best, I'd kill just to have that kind of music again.
Even though I so little Korean, I can sing HOT "we are the future" flawlessly.
Man, you have good taste steelrails |

I was going to suggest this song too, cuz everyone knows it and it's quite catchy. It's my token Korean noraebang song. |

Thanks so much! Now I have a new song to learn for our next staff party! 
If you want to sing a cheesy love ballad to impress the ladies (or the gf):

Thanks for the good words 
We Are the Future was one awesome Song and vid.
Thinking back on that time I think several things made the music stand out-
The first wave of Seo Taiji, Roo'Ra, D.J. D.O.C., and R.ef and gone through and the music producers and composers were able to get experience and hear what worked and what didn't.
For me that time was when I was in High School and my friends and I were all into Korean music hard-core (not just Korean people). Since Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears were also big, it wasn't weird to listen to pop music like it is now. Some of these songs I'm coming back too I remember listening to ad nausem back in the States.
Sex and 'authenticity' hurt K-Pop in the short term. There was a fall off around 2001-2002 when performers started to focus on being 'artists' and writing their own songs, think H.O.T. 4 & 5. Also the increasing focus on sexy and mimicking the slightly more adult American pop sound robbed Korean Music of one of its great charms- its innocence. Case in point S.E.S.'s 너를 사랑해 vs. S.E.S.'s Love. or H.O.T.'s Candy vs. 투지, the formers still put a smile on my face and bring back good memories, the latter are just nothing.
For a while I swore off Kpop (and pop in general) but at some point its okay to like catchy bubblegum music, if it makes you feel something- listen to it.
The only downside is that now I'm in Korea all my YooHokSang friends just want to sing what's new and don't want to relieve the glory days of High School. I guess I have too much of a sloppy, sentimental streak to me. Or maybe they should develop theirs.
BTW- some kids are watching me watch videos and one of them just said "Hot Candy???". Sad. No appreciation for the classics. |
