In 2018, a YouTube video of Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung performing their megahits “Bang Bang Bang”
Lemme guess, it contained the line “My Bang Bang Bang, it’s Big”?

Give BigBang a chance, and they don’t seem to be that into innuendo, which I’m sure will disappoint many on here. I recently discovered them (thanks to the YouTube algorithm and my daughter’s frequent watching of Gangnam Style) and while at a first glance they appear to be “just another” boy band, there is a breadth of ability there which is quite rare. And the music videos are refreshing to watch because the Koreans don’t care about woke. In the K-pop vein, Girls Generation videos are also worth a watch, but not because of the music…
They just changed the words to avoid infringing the estate of Pvt. S. Baldrick.
Monster is a great song.
Just watched the video. Certainly fit enough for military service. 🙂
Big Bang joins army to make things go Bang Bang Bang.
Matt,
Those girls are legal, right? 😉
One of the things with all the Asian pop that I like is that they get that it’s about good tunes and entertainment. The west has people going on about race, body image. You’ve just had a shit day working on the call centre, what do you want to listen to?

Monster has become my favourite post-2000 song. I keep thinking I’ve heard bits of it before, but that’s just because it’s so… right: the chord progression in the second-third line of the chorus is quite simply perfection.
New single – Pew Pew Pew
Oh HB… You can bet there’ll be a “reunion after service” tour in ’25 with a perfectly choreographed video showing clips of their service, and interviews with the members about it having been “Character Building” , and all that guff.
It’s that kind of business, really.
But honestly.. Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” describes the whole Asian Idol lot to a tee.
Is it a follow up to the Eurovision hit by Lulu, Boom Bang a Bang ?
If you are in the big smoke, and interested, the Korea exhibition at the V&A is worth a few minutes of your time.
Be interesting to know what they sound like before Auto-Tune is let loose on them.
