overplayed korean-style

so this song is called "lies" by "big bang". i live in a pretty central part of seoul. shopping malls, stores everywhere and they're always noise and loud musak. this song though, i literally hear it three times a day and it's been consistent like this since i landed. i'm not talking about bryan adam's "everything i do it for you" or gnr's "november rain" or the "does that make me craaaaazy" song by what's his face from last summer-overplayed, i'm talking "we've got three songs on our playlist at the korean radio station" overplayed. they're a pop band a la 'n sync and they have the flashy clothes and the haircuts that all the boys mimic. the ladies obviously adore them too. tough life but as english teachers here we're pretty much on the same level of admiration. or not.

I made it about one minute into the song. I'm just glad I don't know what the lyrics mean.

And the craaaaaazy song is by Gnarls Barkley, and I hate it.

This could totally be in the next version of DDR - it blows 'Butterfly' out of the water.
