Thanks to singer "IU" (아이유) and her bringing the hottest American English slang of 2004 to Korea, you'll have a hell of a time with your Halloween lesson. K-pop has already made it difficult to get away with saying "One more time," "tell me," and "nobody," although my students seem to have forgotten that any of those songs ever existed. Here's "Boo":
For this particular video the 15-year-old decided to not wear pants, and instead opted for . . . I dunno, is that supposed to be a tutu?
* Update: dave points out that "Boo" samples Debbie Gibson's "Only in my dreams."

Meh. That's three and a half minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Oh, geez, you're right! That's why I've had that song going through my head all frickin' morning!
It'd be interesting and I imagine quite hilarious to have a career radio DJ listen to Korea's top 100 pop songs and then name all of the original songs that they are copying . . .
It'd also be very cool to learn exactly who is writing original materials too.
Someone's probably already mentioned this somewhere else but this video is very similar to Kylie Minogue's 'come into my world'
Wow - rip off of Kylie Minogue's video much? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUueEVXw7ec
