Hyomin brought me here
This dance track, apparently Polish, is in the Gaon Chart top 100 'cause Hyomin danced to it* a month ago in Paris. Or Hyomin danced to it 'cause it was in the Gaon Chart top 100. (Paging the Correlation-Doesn't-Mean-Causation Department.) Apparently, I wasn't tracking this closely enough.
Song's over a year old. And it's in this week's Gaon Chart at 97 (up from 99 last week), spelt "Sex Apeal." And Hyomin danced to it in Paris last month.
(And Hyoyeon "wins," I guess. So what?)
What do dancers call this beat, or this dance genre, with the high-pitch note taking care of the 1 2 3 4 and the bass hitting the offbeat? I call it the no-speak-americano beat, but that's 'cause I do speak americano, and don't frequent dance clubs. At least not often.
I like the guy in the embed who screams "Kim Hyoyeon" when she appears.
Speaking of Hyomin, and her bringing me here, I intended to visit the Jukebox's Miike Snow thread and write, "You know those tracks that go top 100 on the Gaon chart 'cause Hyomin or someone danced to them in Paris (or vice versa), and then people show up on the YouTube thread for the original track and write, 'Hyomin brought me here,' and this annoys the fuck out of longtime fans of the original, who post 'Who cares if Hyomin brought you here?' Well, I just want to say that Britney brought me here. And Rachel and Taeyeon brought me here." One hopes that this would annoy the fuck out of someone — especially someone who'd never bothered to look at the Miike Snow Wikip page. And then I'd say whatever it is I intended to say about the Miike Snow track. And someone would write "Who cares if Britney brought you here?" Unfortunately, what I have to say about the Miike Snow track, at least as of this date, my being only so far in my contemplation of it, is "Um." So that's why I recount this here rather than there.
[EDIT: A lightning fast Web surf reveals that Bueno Clinic were already so well thought of in Korea that they journeyed there in December. Or perhaps it was that they thought so well of Korea that they journeyed there in December.]
*But idiot director and camera people intersperse useless crowd shots, and waist-ups and shoulder-ups. That's why I embedded the fancam.
