Inappropriate Music X 2
Several years ago, when I first moved to South Korea, I spent a lot of time online. It's how I met my then girlfriend, and how I found a ton of music to download. I managed to get my hands on some very rare Korean punk music, for one. Out of morbid curiosity, I even found a hate website from the US with a ton of surprisingly entertaining white power mp3s. Don't get me wrong--it's all crap with an incredibly evil message, but I was amused by some of the covers they did of popular songs.
Examples include:
-CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" to "Race War Rising"
-"99 Luftballons" to "99 Judenschveine"
-"Hey Jude" to well, should be obvious
Yeah, terrible music. One night through MSN I shared it with my--yes, Korean--girlfriend. She agreed it was hideous but in an entertaining way. A while later, she was over at my place and we were making out on the bed listening to music from my computer. Guess what came on.
She loved it. I guess it was the thrill of being with a white guy and listening to a song about how great the white race is. But I couldn't handle it. I mean it's hard enough to listen to already, but when you're miscegenating...that's even worse.
So I flicked it over to the nearest safe music--the Korean stuff. Problem solved. Then she burst into laughter. The lyrics to the song I'd chosen translated to "Motherfucker motherfucker motherfucker--kick him in the crotck" repeated over and over.
Wow, no wonder it didn't work out with her.
