As you guys all know by now what is 'Oppa Gangnam Style' or have
known who ‘Psy’ is, right? Because I'm not gonna be explaining here on my blog
about the biography of 'Psy' and what's the music video is all about. I ain't
got time.
So I'm going to
write my opinions about some of the top few videos of Oppa Gangnam Style
(Parody) Singapore version. I've come to realize, there are lot of
parody version of Oppa Gangnam Style. A LOT. I mean, is it like some kind of a
trend or something? Is it a game? Well, to me, it is getting annoying.
Seriously.
Let's start with
the most popular video of the parody in Singapore.
1) Singaporean Style (Gangnam
Style Parody) done by Dee
Kosh, a Philippines-born Singaporean YouTube Celebrity, and
also it featured other Singaporean YouTube 'celebrities' that are not
worth mentioning here. Video Description: "Hope
that you'll like our parody. It wasn't that good but we had a lot of fun
filming it with our crew and everyone who was involved."
My opinion: If you
like to see a 20+ year old dude with an unfit body wearing a tank
top and doing a rendition of Nicki Minaj 'Starships', then feel free to
like this video. The only thing I like about this video or song is the lyrics.
THE ONLY PARODY THAT HAS ITS OWN ORIGINALITY AND IT ALSO RELATES TO
SINGAPORE. That's why it is called Singaporean Style.
But what I
hate about this video is some part of the video doesn't really match with the
lyrics. For instance, there's a part where the songs is talking about SMRT, but
the video shows Dee Kosh drinking water in a suit or when the lyrics are
talking about the angmoh, "we have an ang-moh from the
England", and it cuts to the scene where there's this girl drinks
some water. The girl doesn't even look like an Angmoh. I don't get it. This
video makes me confused. By the way, the girl's face 'CMI'
(Cannot-Make-It).
2) PSY - Gangnam Style (Official Rap
Remix by Tzire) done by
TheSingaporeanRapper a.k.a 'Tzire'. Video description: Special thanks to every single
person who helped me out with the production of this video! Their links can all
found below.
My opinion: I just
hate Tzire. Hate him with all my guts. Don't get me wrong, he raps pretty good.
(He is actually better than some Singaporean rapper *cough* Shigga Shay
*cough..) but I just hate him. His rendition of the Oppa Gangnam style is
nonsensical. The lyrics, the video is all damn fucked up. There's a point of
the video that you just want to punch his face. (I'm a hater, alright?) His
lyrics got side-tracked all the time. I mean seriously, since when does Emma
Watson from Harry Potter has got to do with Oppa Gangnam Style. Last time I
checked, she's got nothing to do with it and so what if you hate playing
football but you like to play soccer. Reality check, both words meant the same.
It's time for you to learn some literature because all of your lyrics are fucked
up. It's nonsensical. Plus, it's not funny.
There are some
other videos of the parody but I just wouldn't want to waste my time writing
about it. It's not worth my time. I just want to say that enough of Oppa
Gangnam Style parody. It's time to move on. Don't waste your time doing parody
of a video that has like thousands of parodies. It's time to move on Singapore.
Oppa Gangnam style is not cool anymore, even though the song is quite
addictive. Let's move on and focus on important issue, like Global Warming,
perhaps?
