Love me like… :S

More K-Pop… kinda!

So this song has been in my head non-stop and I HATE IT! I hate it so much I need to write about it just so I can get it off my chest.

At first I was like ZOMG Wonder Girls and AKON!? A song in complete English!? Does this even count as K-Pop??? Well considering WG is from Korea, I guess it counts but it really doesn’t sound K-poppy. Don’t get me wrong, it sounds good! I really like the beat and I could see myself LOVING this song at the bar but…. for listening pleasure purposes it SUCKS. Let me tell you why…

Love me like money. Love me like cars.

Can everyone just stop for a second and think about what they are saying here!?

…. thank you.

Now hopefully you have come up with the same complaint as I have because these lyrics irk me to my very core. Basically, I believe the love you have for a person and the love you have for material possessions should not be the same kind of love. By saying they want to be loved the same way one loves money, the Wonder Girls are basically saying they want to be loved (and thus treated) as material possessions. In two simple lines, these women have thrown 100 years of women’s movement down the drain and threaten to take their whole fan base down with them.

Love me like, Love me like
Hundred dollar bills, brand new wheels.
Love me like, Love me like
Fresh new haircut, boy I need you.
Love me like, Love me like
New pair of kicks, ice on your wrist.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!???!?!

Maybe I should stick to songs I don’t understand the lyrics to.

I also want to rant about the video. The beginning is AMAZING and the whole concept is so cool. “Perfectly designed for complete domination”… I was like wooooaaahh they’re gonna do something spiffy! But no… the only thing these girls ‘dominate’ in this video is their cute dance moves and bejewelled nails. This concept had SO much potential but I was so disappointed that there was no storyline whatsoever.

Anyhoo… sorry about the random angry post but I hope it made some people (meaning you Mom, since you’re probably the only one who’s going to read this :P) think about the lyrics.

I’ll leave you with a happy, simple Wonder Girls song that I love… and it goes a little somethin’ like this!
