heard that god-awful remake of 'Maria'?

It's unbelievable how this song has taken the country by storm. And it's not even a KOrean song originally. Many people didn't know that when I told them.

BTW, I have heard it 4 times on accident. Once at E-mart, and 3 times on TV.

What about that terrible song with Dae Han Min Gook set to the tune of Oh Susanna! Do you think its popular because of subliminal penetration from hakwon kindy-class songs? Will D-O-K-D-O is ours-o (to the tune of Bingo) be next?

OMG! I'm so sick of that song. I've heard it at least 3 times today. I hate it most when it is a cell phone ringtone.

The movie wasn't so bad, but that song is ruining the memories I have of it.

No more irritating when I traveled through Europe in the summer of '96 and heard Oasis' 'Wonderwall" about 17 times a f#ckin day.

i can't believe there are bombs going off everywhere in the world and people killing yourselves and you guys are talking about little gay topics like music. We all have our different tastes in music. How could you hate something? That is what i don't get about the world there is too much hate. So what they play a song. Most people seem to like it. THis is not your country. Get out of here you complete losers

You're free to get off the internet and go stop a bomb somewhere.

Somewhere a gay kid is about to kill himself from homophobia, I notice that thought doesn't stop you from using 'gay' as an insult.

So are you defending the song? Or Korea? Or what?

In any case, carry on, oh noble one

I didn't even realize that song was out until a kid was singing it REPEATEDLY despite my demands for him to keep quiet. Then, I heard it EVERYWHERE. I don't think I would have hated it as I don't hear it that often if it wasn't THE most annoying kid in the class singing it.

If there ever was a guy in the world who needed a good wank, it's this guy.

Hey dude, I'll let you in on a secret. If you look through a tube and paint your fingernails, you could swear it's someone else's hand. If that doesn't work, you can try shaving one of your legs.

I inundated my office today with dub reggae on my headphones up too loud.
