The story behind this song is quite an interesting one *crickets beat box in the grass* Okay, it's not that interesting. But it kinda is. Both the song and video were recorded and shot back in 2008 as Girls' generation's comeback song. But due to copyright issues, the song was shelved and "Gee" was chosen instead. And the rest as they say, is history!
This begs the question, Had Girls' generation released this ripped off mess, would they be as big as they are now? I can't see time-lines like that Etro bitch, those little dying ho's and that murderous n***a in Final Fantasy XIII-2 so I can't make that call. But "Gee" continues to be their most well known and most parodied song to date, and features one of their most iconic videos. "Dancing queen" and "Gee" share the same video concepts, but which one popped better? Ya-huh. For those who didn't follow K-Pop prior and had no idea who these girls were, "Gee" was a catalyst for many and set the beginning of the hallyu wave. "Dancing queen" would have caught attention as a rite of it sampling a song which was popular in the UK at the time and was catching on slowly in the US. But it wouldn't have had the level of virality which "Gee" had.
"Dancing queen" isn't a bad song. I prefer it to "Mercy", as I can't stand Duffy or her voice. But it's not at fun or as catchy as your standard Girls' generation single. I cuss out their shit for being typical, but right now that's what I want from these girls. I need me a song which is going to have me sprung how "Tell me your wish (Genie)" did.
The snippet of "I got a boy" sounds promising. Can't wait to see these girls try and dance in time to those fast beats. Not too sold on the image concept though. It looks very f(x). In the same way the song snippet sounds very f(x). Perhaps this whole comeback concept was supposed to be for f(x), but was used on Girls' generation instead. We know how SM love to recycle like their carbon footprint is being monitored daily *cue Dr. Who theme music* Then there's also this...
They would make Sunny wear that blasted cap. I bet the poor girl has no idea what that shit on it says and will end up taking the blame for in-appropriating foul language in a music video which minors have easy access to. This bullying of Sunny in the group needs to stop. First they f**k up her hair and now this.
