0:50

so yeah, guys, Mama 2024.

0:52

Yeah, it just wrapped up

0:55

as of now that we

0:57

recording this, day one and

0:59

two on November 21st was

1:01

at the Hollywood Dolby

1:03

Theater in Los Angeles,

1:05

and day two and

1:08

three was in Osaka,

1:10

Japan. So Syed, of course,

1:12

our resident Mama Export. the

1:14

one that actually watches the

1:16

whole thing. We reached out

1:18

to him for comments, so

1:20

we're going to play that for

1:22

you. Hi, everyone. This is Sarah

1:24

from Genius Korea. And as our

1:27

annual tradition goes, I am popping

1:29

back on the kipup cast to

1:31

share my thoughts on this year's

1:33

Mama Awards. So this was the

1:36

first year that the award show

1:38

was hosted anywhere outside of Southeast

1:40

Asia and they brought it to

1:42

Dolby Theatre in LA, which was

1:45

an interesting choice I felt like

1:47

because that theater is known for

1:49

hosting the Academy Awards, aka the

1:51

Oscars. And that automatically made it

1:54

feel a little bit awkward

1:56

to watch. The stage was

1:58

too small, it felt more

2:00

uptired. and formal and like

2:02

they were trying to be

2:04

quote-unquote prestigious which they are

2:06

not. They invited American stars

2:08

like Dustin Hoffman and divine

2:10

Joy Randolph which are which

2:12

is amazing but it felt

2:14

even more weird and awkward.

2:16

They're amazing interesting choice to

2:18

park all the rookie artists

2:20

into the US ceremony especially

2:22

as to park all the

2:24

rookie artists into the US

2:26

ceremony especially as like to

2:28

us and rice. who had

2:30

more domestic popularity this year,

2:32

especially rice appearance as a

2:34

member group in the US,

2:36

was also interesting because their

2:38

international fans have been the

2:40

most vocal in their protest

2:42

against Sanghan leaving the group.

2:44

So which was also made

2:46

more complicated with Emnet and

2:48

I believe the venue staff

2:50

policing all sorts of orange

2:52

colored items. and light sticks

2:54

and banners with the number

2:56

seven on them. So it

2:58

was definitely a choice to

3:00

put the group in this

3:02

weird situation. I don't know

3:04

what else one was thinking,

3:06

but all well. Then the

3:08

show was brought back to

3:10

Japan for the first night

3:12

and night two, and it

3:14

started to feel more like

3:16

Mama. You know, the big

3:18

stage, the big crowd, the

3:20

loud fan chans, and the

3:22

synchronized light sticks. and then

3:24

the star power of the

3:26

presenters and the artists. Overall,

3:28

I enjoyed the performances this

3:30

year and most of the

3:32

winners made sense, which is

3:34

always a dicey thing with

3:36

Mama. But from the first

3:38

night, um... The performances were

3:40

amazing, the fashion was amazing.

3:42

The only thing I was

3:44

really, really disappointed by was

3:46

the up-to-stage. The performance was

3:48

heavily teased leading up to

3:50

the show and during the

3:52

show with Rosse and Bruno

3:54

Mars both attending the event

3:56

in Japan, but then... they

3:58

played the pre-recorded live performance

4:01

of Apato, which didn't perform

4:03

a live in LA or

4:05

something like that? Especially considering

4:07

how big this song was

4:09

and how popular the challenge

4:11

was, it was a bit

4:13

of a letdown to not

4:15

have them perform on the

4:17

actual stage in Japan, which

4:19

made me wonder like, these

4:21

two just went all the

4:23

way to Japan to just

4:25

pick up one trophy, which

4:27

is. sort of like an

4:29

attendance award basically and then

4:31

say five words so like

4:33

why did that do that?

4:35

Yeah travel like 13 hours to

4:37

get an attendance award that's interesting.

4:39

Yeah I've felt more right you

4:41

have to be there for like

4:44

dress rehearsal and all these other

4:46

things. Yeah I'm wondering if maybe

4:48

there was like a weird visa

4:50

thing for Bruno Mars for performing

4:53

in Japan I don't know. So

4:55

wait did wait I think I

4:57

miss heard that part so did

4:59

they Perform? They performed in a

5:02

pre-recorded video. But they did not.

5:04

So Bruno Mars and Rosse were

5:06

in the Japan mama in Osaka.

5:08

But they didn't perform on the

5:11

stage in Japan. They just, they

5:13

played the video for the broadcast

5:15

and then they went up and

5:17

got their award together. Yeah, no.

5:19

It's so disappointing. Like with that,

5:22

I guess especially like, because we

5:24

know we get the emails. We've

5:26

been been teasing this lineup, the

5:28

fact that Bruno Mars was going

5:31

to be at the mamas for

5:33

weeks now. And it's such a

5:35

letdown that he actually is like

5:37

performing on the stage in Japan.

5:40

It was like a pre-recorded thing.

5:42

And like a very small, like

5:44

theater, like less than 30 people

5:46

were in the like the like

5:49

the... Little crowd of like fake

5:51

fans that were at the pre-recording

5:53

like it was very like you

5:55

you expect with that song You'd

5:57

get you know having it in

6:00

that arena would have been like

6:02

a nice like I sing on

6:04

the to the end of the

6:06

year, but you know, whatever. I

6:09

feel like that's the point of

6:11

these award shows, right? That you,

6:13

if you're gonna play this song

6:15

at the award show, you like

6:18

remix it or reimagine it in

6:20

some way because we're all already

6:22

familiar with the original. So that's

6:24

a damn shame. I wonder if

6:27

it was like Bruno Mars just

6:29

being like hypercontrolling of perfection. and

6:31

him not having the full extent

6:33

of creativity that he'd want at

6:36

the Japanese stage? I don't know.

6:38

It's possible. I mean, luckily though

6:40

we did get a lot of

6:42

really great performances, Sayadelsa mentioned how

6:44

great Treasure's performance was. I mean,

6:47

they had a bit of a

6:49

home field advantage because they have

6:51

so many fans in Japan. Big

6:53

Bang. The Big Bang Reunion stage,

6:56

which is crazy, considering like, you

6:58

know. 2015 we got to anyone

7:00

reunion at Mama and now like

7:02

nine years later we get a

7:05

big bang reunion at Mama. It

7:07

was really cool. What happened for

7:09

the cliff notes? Like why was

7:11

the big bang reunion performance so

7:14

special? I didn't see it yet.

7:16

But I think Tina mentioned it

7:18

on our slash. Yeah, I mean,

7:20

it started with, of course, it

7:22

was basically a G.D. performance featuring

7:25

De Song and Ta Young. Like,

7:27

it wasn't, it didn't really become

7:29

a Big Bang performance until after

7:31

G.D. performed Power and then Sweet

7:34

Home, which is a G.D. Song,

7:36

which is not a Big Bang

7:38

Song. And then they performed Bang,

7:40

Bang Bang Bang Bang and Fantastic

7:43

Baby together as Big Bang. So

7:45

it was like kind of like

7:47

two separate sections of the stage.

7:49

One was like the GD technically

7:52

stage and then Big Bang. Was

7:54

there a virtual AI avatar of

7:56

TOP? No, no, but you do

7:58

hear his voice like you hear

8:00

like the ANR of his or

8:03

the AR of his voice in

8:05

Fantastic Baby and Bang Bang Bang

8:07

Bang. Yeah, but they were very

8:09

specific to, yeah, that part, but

8:12

they were very specific to only

8:14

like perform their sections of those

8:16

songs, not necessarily, you know, trying

8:18

to, to redo other members. Yeah,

8:21

we're trying to forget about that

8:23

one guy. What's his name? Anyway,

8:25

anything else but mama? Michaela, you'd

8:27

call out? Plave and Jungji. Jungji

8:30

had a cool collaboration. I mean

8:32

it was basically like Jungji performing

8:34

with a video because play members

8:36

are virtual, but it was interesting

8:39

to see them doing that. They

8:41

couldn't have like the real life

8:43

manifestations of play. No. If they

8:45

were going to have like holograms,

8:47

that would have been the chance

8:50

to like test out that technology,

8:52

but looks like Mama's not quite

8:54

there yet. And then, you know,

8:56

lastly, of course, we have the

8:59

awards. So we've got a rookie

9:01

for male and female, went to

9:03

us, and Isle it, which is

9:05

a choice. And then we got

9:08

Artists of the Year going to

9:10

Espa Super Nova and then wrapping

9:12

it up with Album of the

9:14

Year going to Espa Super Nova

9:17

and then wrapping it up with

9:19

Album of the Year going to

9:21

17 as well. So 17 really

9:23

kind of clearing out as far

9:25

as like it's interesting in a

9:28

year where BTS is in the

9:30

military that 17 is the one

9:32

getting the artisan albums of the

9:34

year. Hmm. And it may, but

9:37

I'm not interesting in like it

9:39

makes sense where they are in

9:41

their careers right now. Like I'm

9:43

not challenging that. Yeah, 1780s, stray

9:46

kids are like on top of

9:48

the world right now in the

9:50

army shadow. Or the void, rather,

9:52

the void left open for them

9:55

to take it. Yeah, I I

9:57

could see Espa Super Nova being

9:59

like in the top five for

10:01

song of the year I don't

10:03

know if I'd pick it as

10:06

the song of the year, but

10:08

Certainly up there. They also got

10:10

best female group and 17 got

10:12

best male group So it was

10:15

kind of for at least her

10:17

mama anyway, they were kind of

10:19

like set up to be song

10:21

of the year if if they

10:24

were going to give artists of

10:26

the year to or album the

10:28

year to 17 What

10:30

is it? Song of the year, female

10:33

group of the year, male group of

10:35

the year, male group of the year,

10:37

Michaela. Of course, I'm gonna give it

10:40

to us. We've established this. We've been

10:42

going chart to chart every week with

10:44

the... It's like, I can't not give

10:47

that song to Super Nova. Like, it's

10:49

the girl. It's that girl of the

10:51

year. And for boys. I didn't really

10:54

care about Boys this year, I'll be

10:56

honest. I just kind of slept on

10:58

17's album. But I know it's probably

11:00

good. Like I trust, I trust that,

11:03

you know, the reason I sleep on

11:05

17 is like they've been consistently good

11:07

for like their whole career, so I

11:10

know it's probably deserve the award. Yeah.

11:12

I feel like Kiss of Life should

11:14

have been on there, but maybe that's

11:17

more of a North American thing. Like,

11:19

they've had a real breakout year. Yeah.

11:21

Yeah, I yeah Maybe it's because I

11:24

wasn't I don't yeah, I don't know

11:26

I think I think of that as

11:28

much as like kiss of life They

11:31

come from a small label. I'm not

11:33

expecting them to be well represented at

11:35

the mamas Mm-hmm And then I do

11:38

appreciate Music Visionary as a category and

11:40

I think G Dragon is the right

11:42

one to take that category so I

11:45

think that was actually both a category

11:47

and a winner I would agree with

11:49

Mama was like we finally got him

11:52

to show up we're gonna give him

11:54

a award and get him back on

11:56

stage somehow like we're literally creating an

11:59

award just to give to big, just

12:01

to give to G.D. Hey,

12:03

we've got our most innovative

12:06

category in our year and

12:08

episode, so it's the same

12:10

thing, but yeah. Oh, last question.

12:13

What about Joe I. P. Joe

12:15

I. Poppy. L.A., what happened

12:17

to that? He performed, it

12:19

was okay. He performed in

12:21

L.A. Again, it was, it

12:23

was a very small stage.

12:26

So it's not necessarily like.

12:28

You know he's a he's a

12:30

he's a performer like he his

12:32

his aura needs like an arena

12:35

so I his but he did

12:37

good for his performance and it

12:39

featured Anderson pack on

12:41

the drums so by aura

12:43

I think you mean his

12:46

narcissism needs an arena it

12:48

can only be contained by

12:50

stadium size arenas yeah but

12:52

okay all right so let's

12:54

type into what we're mainly

12:56

Next to

12:59

Mama, the other

13:02

topic that we're

13:04

here to discuss

13:07

is A-T's, there's

13:10

ice on my

13:12

titty. I mean,

13:15

ice on my

13:17

teeth. What did

13:20

you think they

13:23

were saying about?

13:25

Like I don't know if it was just

13:28

like that the first the first the day

13:30

the album dropped like I was on my

13:32

way to the gym to do chess day

13:34

and I was like I had I had

13:36

titties on my mind but I also misheard

13:38

on first listen I saw my titties but

13:41

only your first listen it was like for

13:43

me the first five listens that I kept

13:45

hearing. I was like, can you hear it

13:47

now though or is it still I saw my

13:49

titties? I think the more I've listened to

13:51

it the more. and then biting in

13:53

it too like it comes through but

13:56

but definitely I heard it before I

13:58

saw the music video so like, this

14:00

sounds very risque in terms of

14:03

what they're saying. Right. Yeah, so

14:05

backing it up, guys, we're talking

14:07

about A-T's newest comeback. I saw

14:09

my teeth. It is the title

14:12

track of their 11th mini album,

14:14

Golden Hour, part two, because they

14:16

released Golden Hour, part one earlier

14:19

this year. I think it was

14:21

like in May with the title

14:23

track work. And did you know,

14:26

Peter, that this is actually a

14:28

love song? Oh, what? I did

14:30

not know that, Michaela. Go on.

14:33

Please tell me more. Yeah, so

14:35

for brighter context, obviously it's not

14:37

like literally a love song, but

14:39

AT's talking about the press conference

14:42

for like what makes this album

14:44

in this title track different from

14:46

like work, is that, you know,

14:49

they were, the first part is

14:51

talking about like their. you know,

14:53

professional goals and like what they

14:56

want to achieve. And then the

14:58

second part is kind of reconnecting

15:00

with self-love and like not losing

15:02

themselves in the process of achieving

15:05

their goals. So I saw my

15:07

teeth is more of a kind

15:09

of reflection back on themselves and

15:12

like looking, thinking about like how

15:14

awesome they are being able to

15:16

do the things that they are

15:19

doing. Yeah,

15:22

yeah. I mean, I'm not

15:24

disputing that, like, I, I,

15:26

but I, I, I need

15:28

some help connecting the dots.

15:30

Like, how does being, like,

15:32

really good at tennis and,

15:34

like, having ballet in the

15:36

background connect to this concept

15:38

of, well, Hong-doo specifically said,

15:40

uh, in, in their. the

15:43

press release as we've experienced

15:45

many stages that we've dreamed

15:47

of accomplishing in the midst

15:49

of all that we started

15:51

to question whether we've truly

15:53

expressed or recognized or shown

15:55

our own worth and so

15:57

looking back it made us

15:59

reflect on this and that's

16:01

where we get I saw

16:03

my teeth like I made

16:06

of diamonds, you know. Wait,

16:08

I'm sorry, I'm just going

16:10

to be like the dumbed

16:12

knife person here. But like,

16:14

how do we connect diamonds

16:16

to ice on my teeth?

16:18

Are we referring to like

16:20

grills? Yes, it's a grill.

16:22

Okay. Which, it's fair, you

16:24

know, that imagery is nowhere

16:26

in this music video. Like,

16:28

you would expect, like, you

16:31

would expect, with, with, like,

16:33

a topic matter, like, grills

16:35

and things like that, like,

16:37

that would be, like, a

16:39

key imagery, but no, we've

16:41

got, like, mafia chess piece

16:43

concepts in the visuals of

16:45

this music video. Like, it

16:47

hasn't stopped YG groups from

16:49

having grills. And they don't

16:51

even talk about it in

16:54

their songs. So like, anyway,

16:56

this opportunity, but, uh, you

16:58

know, I'm going to push

17:00

back on that. I actually

17:02

really like the fact that

17:04

instead of going through the

17:06

gratuitous cultural appropriative possibly version

17:08

of what this music video

17:10

could have been, they went

17:12

with something a little bit

17:14

more cinematic and creative. No,

17:16

you're right. You're right. You're

17:19

right, Michaela. And it is

17:21

good. It is good all

17:23

around. I think just the

17:25

message feels a little confusing

17:27

and forced, but maybe there's

17:29

something I'm just losing in

17:31

like the Korean English translation.

17:33

There's probably some sophisticated like

17:35

metaphor or meaning bare pun

17:37

that I'm just not hearing.

17:39

Well, I mean, some of

17:41

the fans kind of have

17:44

this speculation of like, I

17:46

saw my teeth. is actually

17:48

wordplay for eyes on my

17:50

teeth in the sense of

17:52

like it's not talking about

17:54

a grill it's more of

17:56

like talking again taking it

17:58

back to this concept of

18:00

like how, of them like,

18:02

seeing how cool and amazing

18:04

that they are. And you

18:07

gotta like watch out in

18:09

the industry because, you know,

18:11

we got teeth and we're

18:13

gonna get you around. This

18:15

is just, that one's just

18:17

speculation. There's no actual evidence

18:19

in the official press releases

18:21

that that's what they're actually

18:23

saying, but that's what fans

18:25

are kind of interpreting the

18:27

meanings of Islamiteath to be.

18:30

Okay, well, I don't know how

18:33

you want to go through this.

18:35

I've got things that, I just

18:37

loved it all around. I know

18:39

I'm giving it a hard time

18:41

here and like concept and message,

18:43

but I just love this song

18:45

so much. Especially in the music,

18:48

should we talk about the music

18:50

part first or do you want

18:52

to talk about the music part

18:54

first? No, let's just talk about

18:56

the music now. Because I'm really

18:58

curious about your thoughts on this

19:00

one, Peter. I mean, you were

19:03

mentioning earlier, they're trying to do

19:05

something different from AT's work, but

19:07

like, hey, y'all, you don't need

19:09

to break it if it's not

19:11

broken or fix it if it's

19:13

not broke. Like, you know, you

19:15

think this is breaking it? No,

19:18

I think work works really well.

19:20

And, you know, as much as

19:22

they say that this is trying

19:24

to be different, it is very

19:26

similar. And I like both songs

19:28

a lot. tonne going on in

19:30

the mix of this like you

19:33

can break it down to like

19:35

maybe like four or five elements

19:37

you've got like the the deep

19:39

808 you know basey tones and

19:41

then you've got really really crisp

19:43

like snaps and like claps yeah

19:45

as your snares basically in the

19:48

mix like that that almost that's

19:50

like 80% of the song right

19:52

there and then and then you've

19:54

got these like really delightful acoustic

19:56

cutrumont like it like sprinkled in

19:58

to give it like more flavor

20:00

more this like root rustic feeling

20:03

of, I'm going to sound weird,

20:05

but you know, like how there's

20:07

that vocal backing track, the, you

20:09

know, there's that voice in the

20:11

back, and then there's a piano

20:13

that I love so much in

20:15

the pre-chorus, and then you've got

20:18

the violin going throughout the mix,

20:20

and that violin adds just. You

20:22

know, just a little sense of

20:24

like mischief and sat in silk

20:26

elegance, but still being playful at

20:28

the same time. Yeah. So I,

20:30

that's it. And then, and then

20:33

of course, they're vocals, but like

20:35

that's it, you know, as far

20:37

as the mix. And I like

20:39

the structure of the song. You

20:41

know, I think it's following in

20:43

this trend of like, you've got

20:45

the introverse and then you go

20:48

immediately into the chorus. The first

20:50

one, I think it maintains some

20:52

momentum really well in the same

20:54

way that like ATES' work did.

20:56

And then the pre-chorus is obviously

20:58

my favorite part of the song,

21:00

like just the way it builds.

21:03

That sort of like Latin feel

21:05

and the way they just keep...

21:07

hitting the piano chords and the

21:09

pre-chorus, the melody of the pre-chorus

21:11

and the vocals is really, really

21:13

good. So yeah, that's it. And

21:15

I just love, like, if you

21:18

listen to the actual song and

21:20

not the music video, you can

21:22

listen to the loop at the

21:24

beginning of the song, or it's

21:26

just the loop of the beat.

21:28

And it just sounds so good.

21:30

And then on the outro, you

21:33

also have the outro loop. of

21:35

the beat or the piano or

21:37

the violin just does some other

21:39

fun embellishments at the end. Nothing

21:41

complicated, but it's just really fun.

21:43

Yeah, a lot of people who

21:45

have been writing about this have

21:48

mentioned that like they've kind of

21:50

switched sections of the orchestra like

21:52

the like with work they focused

21:54

on like that clarinet and then

21:56

this when they're focusing on the

21:58

violin well was it it was

22:00

it a clarinet or was it

22:03

just a flute that they made

22:05

to sound like a clarinet it

22:07

was a flute it was a

22:09

flute of course it was a

22:11

flute sorry jungle yeah fact-check you

22:13

know watch the music video all

22:15

yes listening to this you know

22:18

trained musicians would say that they

22:20

were carrying no flute but if

22:22

you're music video it's a flute

22:24

that they're playing Mm-hmm. And then,

22:26

probably musicians that say they're playing,

22:28

it's a clarinet. Yeah, exactly. You

22:30

get it. Okay. Yeah, but going

22:33

back to the vocals, though, Peter,

22:35

one thing that I didn't, I

22:37

did kind of notice after like

22:39

listening to both in the back

22:41

of back is that with, I

22:43

saw my teeth, you have a

22:45

more. consistent lower

22:48

register for all of the vocalists.

22:50

Oh yeah, even the rappers. And

22:52

like Hong June and Mingi, like

22:55

their notice for, they're like notable

22:57

for their contrast, like Mingi is

22:59

usually a lower tone rapper. Hong

23:02

June has more of a higher

23:04

tone, but in this one, Hong

23:06

June is more in his lower

23:09

register consistently throughout the song, which

23:11

I think kind of is that

23:13

contrast from work to buy some

23:16

of my teeth. They have really

23:18

good voices, like for the lower

23:21

tones that I don't get from

23:23

a lot of other boy groups.

23:25

Like, I don't know, it's just

23:28

very distinctive. Like, even if I

23:30

can't even tell you which member

23:32

I'm hearing, but I could tell

23:35

you that's an 80s, you know,

23:37

singer versus, you know, name any

23:39

other, like, top 10 boy group

23:42

right now. So, I love it.

23:44

Indeed for that. Just because I

23:46

don't know, there's just a lot

23:49

of unique flavor, I guess, I

23:51

guess, I guess, too, too, too,

23:54

too, too, too. lower register and

23:56

but they they still go up

23:58

like higher their higher pitch in

24:01

the melody for the the pre-chorus

24:03

especially and that's where like I

24:05

think their moment the shine is

24:08

to go up oh yeah they

24:10

have they have dung-ho like they

24:12

need to flex his range whenever

24:15

they can consistently like that's that's

24:17

his job in as a vocalist

24:19

is to show off his amazing

24:22

range you know what if I

24:24

was to make one change to

24:26

this it would be to add

24:29

the like vocal like chops that

24:31

you would get in like a

24:34

DJ mustard track okay and then

24:36

I could say like this is

24:38

produced by DJ mustard because like

24:41

when I was listening to this

24:43

I was like oh you know

24:45

what This sounds like really close

24:48

to being like a DJ mustard,

24:50

you know, produced like hip-hop song.

24:52

Why would it need? It would

24:55

just need those, like, on the

24:57

offbeat in the song. That's the

24:59

only thing I would change. Maybe

25:02

I'll make an edit that it's

25:04

really good. Yes. I've loved to

25:07

hear the Peter, DJ Peter Low,

25:09

DJ mustard version of, I love

25:11

my teeth. Love it Michaela My

25:14

bias is son, okay, and He

25:16

is so hot Like literally his

25:18

job in this whole music video

25:21

just to be sexy and shirtless

25:23

like And it's great, he's delivering

25:25

on all those fronts perfectly. Like,

25:28

especially with the fact that- So

25:30

he had one job and he

25:32

delivered, is what you're saying. Exactly.

25:35

Yeah, and because especially when consistently,

25:37

like, they're wearing these, like, these

25:39

suits, they're kind of, like, more

25:42

covered up throughout the whole music.

25:44

Like, it looks, like, the whole

25:47

music video looks cold, except for,

25:49

like, when they, like, like, have

25:51

the fire scenes. It's the best,

25:54

it's the consistently the favorite scene

25:56

from the whole music video. It's

25:58

probably the most viewed part of

26:01

the music video. Yeah, I think

26:03

they nailed it, just like in

26:05

every facet. Visually speaking like I

26:08

I love how what like the

26:10

you from the exterior shots you

26:12

could see that it's like some

26:15

sort of like mansion or something

26:17

that they're shooting at but from

26:20

the daytime and the nighttime before

26:22

they have some sort of Bonfire

26:24

where they're I don't know what

26:27

they're burning furniture it looks like.

26:29

So. It's all shot at this

26:31

mansion. I don't know what the

26:34

story is, but I can get

26:36

behind it. Like, what, the mafia,

26:38

because they're all wearing the, what

26:41

do you call it, the things

26:43

that you wear off your head.

26:45

The Bali Clavas? Bali Clavas? Yeah.

26:48

Or ski masks. Bali Clavas? Yeah.

26:50

And then I don't know where

26:52

the ballet dances come from, but

26:55

like, you know, if it's wrong,

26:57

then I don't want to be

27:00

right. Like, it is just... That's

27:02

another like visual motif that you

27:04

know it was refreshing against like

27:07

these like you know mafia dudes

27:09

and men in rain coats and

27:11

jackets wearing long wide brin the

27:14

hats and I don't

27:16

know, it's got everything. It's got

27:18

everything. Like, you know, if there's

27:20

something you're missing in kpop, I'm

27:23

sure you'll find it in this

27:25

music video. Like, if there's something

27:27

that you like about kpop, you'll

27:29

find it in this music video.

27:31

It's got everything. Like I said,

27:34

with the song, with the violin,

27:36

making it sound a little bit

27:38

mysterious, but like high classy at

27:40

the same time, I get that

27:42

same feeling in the music video.

27:45

Yeah, I think I think Classy

27:47

is like a great, just kind

27:49

of like, it's this display of

27:51

wealth in a creative way. Like

27:53

it's like, yeah, we have, we

27:56

can like pay for all these

27:58

ballet dances, but they're gonna be.

28:00

like in schema, I don't know,

28:02

it just like... You know, at

28:04

the same time, there's like this

28:07

feeling of like, you know, especially

28:09

when you're in a world where

28:11

you're seeing like, SBA going like

28:13

futuristic, and like using like crazy

28:16

scents and stuff in their songs,

28:18

you've got this which has a

28:20

lot of analog. you know, sounds

28:22

and textures, you know, the violins,

28:24

and the piano, and even the

28:27

vocal loops. Yeah, percussion, yeah, with

28:29

the snappy. The compressive elements, sorry.

28:31

Yeah, yeah, progressive elements. Yeah, yeah.

28:33

And then like in the music

28:35

video, like, you know, they're, what,

28:38

they're dancing on a, on a

28:40

record, a vinyl record at some

28:42

point. And then like there's even

28:44

like some visual effects where it

28:46

looks like it's going like sepia

28:49

and you're seeing like sepia and

28:51

you're seeing. in the music video.

28:53

So, these are just all devices

28:55

and themes that come together really

28:57

nicely. You know, you wouldn't think,

29:00

if you were to look at

29:02

the list of ingredients and their

29:04

isolation, you'd think about putting them

29:06

together, you wouldn't know or say

29:08

with like 100 degrees or anything

29:11

like mashed together, but seeing it

29:13

in this music video, I think

29:15

they definitely do. And it's so

29:17

disappointing that it's coming out at

29:20

the end of the year. Like

29:23

it's November like it's it's so

29:25

hard for for these like later

29:28

releases to kind of like get

29:30

this like recognition and like awards

29:32

Maybe even next year because they've

29:35

just kind of in this weird

29:37

Weird position at the end of

29:39

the year, but I think for

29:42

80s though this whole comeback is

29:44

a great closing to this this

29:47

this these two-part album. Yeah, by

29:49

the way, there's like and going

29:51

through the albums like I've noticed

29:54

there's like Two albums of remixes

29:56

for this song. like in total

29:58

it's like five or excuse me

30:01

in total it's like 10 eight

30:03

or 10 songs of remixes but

30:05

but still like they had to

30:08

separate that across like two mini

30:10

albums like what's going on there have

30:12

you listen to all the mixes do

30:14

you have a favorite I haven't but

30:17

I haven't listened to them all yet

30:19

but yeah I'll be going through it I'm

30:21

going to the apple remix is there is

30:23

there a Christmas remix for the

30:25

season Oh, there's got to

30:28

be. But see, Michael, they're

30:30

going to do that as

30:32

a separate standalone release

30:34

later, you know, to make you

30:36

buy yet another album. Right.

30:39

Once December rolls around.

30:41

Yeah. Yeah. Right. So... I don't

30:43

have anything else. Oh, but

30:45

hey, we... We actually... There

30:48

is one more thing. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

30:50

I saw my titty. Like,

30:52

what? What? Was on a purpose?

30:54

No, no, no, no. Not

30:56

in any way, shape or

30:58

form. Because it even sounds

31:01

like their pronunciation of teeth

31:03

is like with an F

31:06

too, like it's ice on

31:08

my teeth. Okay, well, I

31:10

didn't know if that was

31:12

them, like, pretending

31:14

the... You know, they're trying to

31:17

make it sound like something

31:19

different, but they're like, no,

31:21

we're just saying eyes on my

31:23

teeth. What did you think it was?

31:25

Like, no, no, no. I think it's just

31:27

our English brains mixed hearing lyrics. I

31:29

think it helped it though. Oh, yeah.

31:32

No, no. I love it. Yeah. All

31:34

right. Like I said, next chest day.

31:36

This is, I saw my titty is

31:38

playing in my headphones. I saw my

31:41

teeth or whatever. Okay. Anything else

31:43

we want to say before we wrap it

31:45

up for this mini-soed? No, I think

31:47

we're good We just had to put it

31:49

out an episode to talk about mama

31:51

in ages just because We just gotta

31:54
