Roly-Poly

[koganbot]

Don't know if I've ever embedded T-ara's "Roly-Poly" vid. YouTube killed the Eng Sub version,* so I'm testing to see if Dailymotion will still embed onto lj:

Well, Dailymotion killed that, but it's back up on YouTube:

Watch on YouTube

What I keep pointing out, about this vid and about the first several live performances, is that Jiyeon** manages to be effervescent in the dance without once cracking a smile.***

*For some reason it was Tokyo Broadcasting System that put in the copyright claim, though this is the Korean video, not the Japanese.

**Jiyeon's the lead dancer here, the one in violet, with hair up, in the first of the live videos, in cut-off striped shirt in the MV.

***[UPDATE: Also, the visuals on the Eng Sub I've embedded aren't as good as the authorized but Korean-only version, which I strongly recommend that you look at; and I recommend that you make it the one you return to.]

The main thing I noticed about Roly Poly is it speeds up by about 5BPM over the course of the first half of the song, resets, and then speeds up again over the course of the second half of the song.

When I was taking prescription Ritalin I could *not* listen to this song without losing it, it was in the "banned songs" bin (with Lovey Dovey and A Pink's "Hush" among others).
