Yet another reason to watch it again? Thank you for allowing me to not do what I’m supposed to be doing.

Kimchi, kimchi, it is good for you and me

(repeat)

Offspring-Pretty fly for a white guy

Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the girlies say I’m pretty fly for a white guy
Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco seis
You know its kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn’t cool, but he thinks it anyway
He may not have a clue, and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial
So don’t deflate, play it straight
You know he really doesn’t get it anyway
Gonna play the field, keep it real
For you know a way, for you know a way
So if you don’t break, just over compensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabees
Hey, hey, do the brand new thing!
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the girlies say I’m pretty fly for a white guy
He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn’t have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice, they’re gonna kick his lilly ass!
So don’t deflate, play it straight
You know he really doesn’t get it anyway
Gonna play the field, keep it real
For you know a way, for you know a way
So if you don’t break, just over compensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricky Lake
The world loves wannabes
Hey, hey, do the trendy thing!
Now he’s getting a tattoo yeah, he’s getting ink done
He asks for a 13, but they drew a 31
Friends say he’s trying too hard and he’s not quite hip
But in his own mind he’s the, he’s the dopest trick
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the girlies say I’m pretty fly for a white guy
Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco se�s
So don’t deflate, play it straight
You know he really doesn’t get it anyway
Gonna play the field, keep it real
For you know a way, for you know a way
So if you don’t break, just over compensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricky Lake
The world needs wannabes
The world loves Wannabes
Let’s get some more wannabes
Hey, hey, do the brand new thing!

Enjoy it for what it is – if you were teaching Korean in Canuckistan and made a video about the virtues of seal flipper pie, poutine and winter, I’d applaud your efforts. You might not be as good as the EV Boyz, but sour grapes doesn’t become you.

Right, and K-pop is music in its purest form.

Besides, The Offspring? You don’t get the self-deprecating nature of that song at all. Have a listen to some Bad Brains and you might get it.

Dude, you really need to expand your musical tastes (since you seem to enjoy The Offspring, have a listen to The Germs, which had a huge influence on them).
