for your listening pleasure

For your enjoyment, I have put together a playlist of popular Korea Pop (K-Pop) songs. This is what we hear in stores, on the bus, and what our students are crazy for.  Good for your next dance party.

Gaaaah

Aaaaaaaaaand I now have to add yet another chalk mark to the number of times I've heard "Nobody." My students will sing the thing to me at random intervals. They've even started playing it from every lampost in Chungju's Honam Park, a place through which I previously enjoyed walking but to which I now must bring my own headphones and MP3 player.

I assume you'll be adding more to that post; I wonder if you know the song that starts with the singer cheerfully talking to the audience (or herself), with some horn blasts punctuating her sentences? I remember not hating that song the first four or five times I heard it at E-Mart. After time 20, of course, it got almost (but not quite) as bad as "Nobody."

Blast, I'm not sure if I can solve 2 + 12...
