Random J edit: Girls' Generation - I Got a Boy (The streamlined version)

Random J edit: Girls' Generation / SNSD / 소녀시대 - I Got a Boy | Random J Pop

As soon as I heard "I got a boy", I knew I was going to have to cut, paste and chop the shit out of it. I love the hook and the chorus of the song, but the structure is a mess and I am not trying to hear anybody tell me its amazingly avant garde and smooth. So I did something about it. And now I kinda think I'm falling for this ratchet nonsense of a song.

"I got a boy" had the potential to be amazing, but the bodged production and uninvited switches killed it dead for me. It's like zero fucks were given about the flow of the song and producing it in a way which felt fluid and cohesive. Perhaps that was the whole idea behind the song. But it still doesn't change that the song sounds like a YouTube album sampler.

So I edited in an attempt to streamline it. Some will prefer it, others won't. But it's an alternative take on a song which is dividing fans like the parted waters of Moses.


If SM want a truncated version of the song for these underfed tricks to perform on stage, they can use my version. They best send me a cheque though.
