Kpop Music Mondays - Sunny Hill "The Grasshopper Song"

[leonsshi]

Insect-sy haeee LOLLLL

[analivita]

I LOVE that Sunny Hill makes videos like this, even if I don't understand the lyrics, the video helps SO much, it's not just about the dancing and sexiness

[ThamANchi93]

I WONDER WHEN IS MARTINA ARE GOING TO GET PREGNANT AND HAVING BABIES...

[maplecookie66]

@ThamANchi93 Creepy when you say it like that.....

[ameliacxf]

SUNNY HILL!!! I subscribed cuz of this song!!!

[taemint0001]

GD - Butterfly <3 <3 <3

[bouhbouhification]

G-Dragon's "Butterfly" !

[noshizaful]

I'd rather be a miserable ant,

[Spartan177JP]

huh a song about Yoo Jae Suk?!?!!? :P

[rockprince81]

Sunny Hill - the grasshopper song- all the way lovin' this song. Ring a ring a ring! Lol

[Wena997]

GD - Butterfly!

[ThamirysGomes]

I love Sunny Hill, they are soooo AMAZING <33 *---------*

[bigbangTOPforever1]

G-dragon Butterfly

[SoMinSaranghae]

G-Dragon butterfly!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

[byanarokko]

I totally saw North and South Korea in the MV...Especially when the ant got pulled from the grasshopper's world and when later he escaped from his old lifestyle and joined the grasshopper...^^u

[vampiregrl24]

G-dragon's butterfly all the way ♥

[momomiko10]

i suddenly have respect for this song :D

[asiannxx89]

well said...

[yuyukjs]

the chorus 'ling-a-ling-a-ling" is not from a korean children song. it is jst a sound when your're playing guitar.

[RosaWictorie]

ahh i love butterfly :3

[musicxelf]

Insect-xy haaaaaaaay~! XD

[GoldJS98]

Heyy can you do BTD by INFINITE for next music mondays?? This song is really amazing and it has wonderful choreography-3-3

[joermz]

thank you for explaining the video! nice song after all!

[stevefactory]

Sunny Hill!!!

[richell1234]

I know it's a weird question but do korean have hair on their legs and arms? if so how do they get rid of it? shave? or?

[2WeekBias]

@richell1234 They are human after all. Koreans probably so shave, and wax, but I know that they have laser treatments too. Laser treatments help slow down / stop hair growth in certain places. I don't know much about it tbh.

[PurpleLoLver28]

LOOL i never even realized they were ants...

[EmiRozitu]

I realised I can move the subtitles...

THIS IS THE GREATEST DISCOVERY EVER!

[Ky970]

SUNNY HILL~~~~

[kaiqing123321]

I VOTE FOR SUNNY HILL

[xamysan]

SUNNY HILL!!!

[everythirdsunday]

of course i vote for sunny hill, srsly, people vote for gd only cos they're biased, cos i can't srsl understand who's his video is better oO sunny hill is a whole new level, all of their songs and videos are amazing

[SuperShineeOnew]

no wait simon i wanna say something here.

the chorus 'ling-a-ling-a-ling" is actually from a korean children song '둥굴게 둥굴게'

so you cant really say anything about the pronunciation of that because thats how it is said already...nothing to do with the english word 'ring'. but i understand that you might not know because you're not korean, therefore do not fully understand the korean culture.

please dont take this as bashing.

[iluvDongHae3]

please do "Block B - NalinA" please please the song is so awesome!!!

[NobodybutLiz]

I honestly thought the english Part was "Ring-a-ling-a-ling" not "Ring ring ring" 

[evilpixiesticks]

@NobodybutLiz yeah i know that's what i thought to

[gwajadanji]

솔직히 말하면 링가링가의 링은 R도 L도 아니예요. 그냥 ㄹ 일 뿐이죠.^^ 한국인에게 익숙한 동요인 둥글게 둥글게를 아신다면 왜 그렇게 발음이 되는지 아실거예요. 이 노래는 외국인들을 위한 노래가 아니기 때문이죠.

[MelodyVisionKorea]

it is so awesome and funny how u guys interpret and analysize the song!! just 1 thing that i want to say ist, at the end u took 2 songs (sunnyhill vs. gd) for a "competition". I find, this is a no-comments-needed-competition­, coz there r sure plenty of fans of gd.... well can there be a better mathod for show-down??

[alex2511ful]

@baseofblinggirl omg YES! they sud totally do nanlina from block b *o*

[baseofblinggirl]

Could you do Nanlina by BlockB for next music mondays? *-* By the way I vote for Sunny Hill's The Grasshopper Song!!

[Yazuchu]

Can you do the video comentary for new's miryo's song - dirty <3

[DDongjun92]

Hey, Simon and Martina. I think they intended to pronounce "ringa ringa..." like that because the same song appears in the Korean version of the story. Bweh idk if you guise got what I am trying to say here.. And I vote for GD.

[fallenangelxoxoable]

G dragon butterfly!! :D

[tinikibell]

Today i have heard the grasshopper, but g-dragon butterfly is better, why? because it remind me of alice in wonderland and the song is pretty good.

[kpopshawol]

Sunny Hill was gorgeous, but whenever GD is in a vote, hands down I have to choose him. So, G-Dragon FTW! XD

[Xentradi97]

SIMON&MARTINA can you guys do something about the people behind excellent music videos? Who are the directors? Why is it so hard to find out who directed what?

[Vayatii]

G-DRAGON'S BUTTERFLY!



[BankaiBabe]

[lizzychan844]

thank you so much simon and martina for explaining the inner meaning of this song to me i was just questioning myself yesterday whether life is plain working but clearly, as you have explained, is not! thank you very much again :)

[SomethingRandoms]

G-DRAGON'S BUTTERFLY ALL THE WAYYYYYY!!

[YrusTrulli]

G-DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Meru1821]

 G DRAGON'S BUTTERFLY!!!!

[dbsksarangx3]

thank you for the analysis, every time i watched the mv i was like i know this has deeper meanings! but i just couldn't figure it out. now it's all clarified and i love it :D

but the "ring a ring" part IS supposed to be pronounced with an L. the lyrics were just written like that to be the americanized spelling. just clearing that up.

[hello4475]

Gdragon all the waaayyy :P

[minjin8774]

베짱이찬가!

[MidnightFlower13]

(done after this) Finally, I figured that when they say "a mirage of happiness", they are referring to the facade society masks over our eyes to hide the truth; to hide everything "ugly", "uncool", "different", and deemed "bad". They want us to believe that this is a perfect world, that there aren't people who struggle to make their sugar, and that there aren't grasshoppers or ants who don't fit their standard of beauty. /end perspective

[MidnightFlower13]

(sorry, not done yet!) I also imagined having to do something about explaining how the media lies to you, as with the magazines, and how it shapes and influences what many consider beauty. This especially, when the ant is looking at the magazines. If you pause, you see the words you'd often see in real magazines. "Sex tips, hot and sexy, Swedish models, wildly sexy, new photoshoot"... I thought that made a good point of proving the horrible superficial qualities.

[MidnightFlower13]

This is a new way of looking at it! I always interpreted the music video as having to do with the music industry and its materialistic "values". How an artist -or a grasshopper- can work hard but earn hardly no money -or sugar-, while other artists hardly work at all and continue to buy and sell like mad. That how it can be a big mistake for people to throw themselves into such a mess, and how they'd rather live peacefully then continue to do the same tiring, strenuous things everyday...

[giggiegrr1]

GDragon

[SsaeRah]

[iliapay1]

Simon, I saw you taking a peep at the camera! :p

[AlmostGoneMad]

G-DRAGON !

[StagGirl]

I could go on about the artsiness, allusions (my favourite being "Insectsy haaayyy") and metaphoric creativity in your review because one could see you enjoyed it but let me just make it short: I haven't been entertained and educated (at the same time) this well since... elementary school. And that's saying something, honestly. You know, you actually succeed in making me interested in the videos & bands I normally wouldn't have checked out. Sunny Hill are cool & deserve more attention indeed. :)

[kawaii386]

Next week B.A.P "Warrior"

[LOOKSINLIFE]

ahhhhhh yay joon won ahhhhh
