ELFs Now Have an Anthem

I debated on whether or not I should hide my true feelings about this song and let you form your own opinion, or if I should rip the band-aid off like I do with everything else.

I wouldn't be me if I kept the band-aid on.

This is awful. Horrendous. Atrocious. As the French would say, c'est très mal. Any other synonym for "bad" you can think of. This ... song, if that's what you want to call it, makes Rebecca Black's recent disaster seem like epic gold. And if that nauseating voice of hers seems golden, then you know this shit is bad.

I know you're all excited because these big songwriters and producers, who have not only worked with Super Junior but other big names in the music industry, created this for you ... but come the fuck on this is a slap in the face to the fans.

We are not all thirteen and fourteen year old girls, okay? Not all of us find Super Junior to be cooler than polar bears, because quite frankly those are hilarious animals and they live in the damn Arctic Circle, so if you want to get technical about it, I'm pretty sure polar bears are "cooler." This whole song caters to the young teenagers and I feel like I need to shove a bunch of Bubblelicious in my mouth and blow a bubble the size of my head.

And sorry sorry sorry, but the line "Sorry Sorry Sorry has a really good beat!" ... ARE YOU KIDDING? This is really a line written by professional songwriters? This whole song was written by professional producers?

Really?

I mean ... REALLY?

This is such an insulting song to Super Junior fans. We're not all thirteen. We're not all bubblegum teeny boppers. Any song that compares Super Junior to pizza, polar bears, and popcorn should not be classified as a song.

If you like the song, that's great. That is your opinion. This is my opinion, so leaving me comments about how my opinion isn't absolute and blah blah blah will get you nowhere except making you feel like "you told me" for about five seconds. I respect your taste and not once in this post did I criticize the people that like it, I criticized the styling of the song and the lyrics of the song. I criticized the people who produced it, not the ones who like it.


I mean ... really?

  1. Amen! I have to say, I laughed the entire way through this.
    It's like the song insults the ELFs with it's crappy...er, not so good, lyrics. I didn't like the line 'Sorry sorry sorry has a really good beat'. It didn't even rhyme! And don't get me started on the 'Fighting fighting Hwating hwaiting blah blah Super Junior repeated a billion times'. You would expect more from people who work professionally in the industry.
    As you said, not all ELFs are thirteen year-olds.
    It does have a good beat though. And if their are ELFs out there that like it, good for them. It's great that they can have a song especially for them.

    PS Thanks for the post. I hope you are doing well :)

    I 200% agree with you on this. C'est très très mal, mon Dieu! It was the saddest thing I've heard for the longest time. And I've heard R. Black's Friday. Oh dear.

  6. Didn't like the song? That's understandable, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, couldn't resist to make a t-shirt inspired by the lyrics. Who's insulting the fans again?

  7. Wait... I swear I thought this was a joke. It's for real?

    If that's the case it's too many things... bless their little hearts for trying.

  8. honestly, i don't like the song either. but i gotta admire the fact that Super Junior has such devoted fans that are willing to write and professionally record a full song for them.

    I mean, c'mon. What other group can say that they have fans that wrote and professionally recorded a full song for them? And what other group can say their fanclub has a frickin theme song? And even Hangeng, their solo member, has "Wings of Love" which a fan wrote for him.

    That's the power of Super Junior, baby!

  9. who the heck pronounces "hwaiting" like that? seriously. the people that recorded this are NOT true Super Junior fans. If they were, they would know how "hwaiting" is actually pronounced.

  10. this is really funny.... xD but.. "pizza or super junior?" "popcorn or super junior?" WTF!?!? The tune is quite catchy but I CAN NOT STAND the "fighting fighting hwaiting hwaiting" omg.... no. But the tune is adorable xD

  11. i already know the song was horrible even before listening to it just by reading the comments of real, hard-core SuJu fans that i know. and when i say hard-core, i mean those who have been with this group when they started! many of them are insulted. some of them are using their hands, not to clap, but to cover their faces because of embarrassment. >_<

    btw, i watched the video just now & i feel sorry for my eyes and ears. they didn't deserve to have expecienced such atrocity!

  12. Wow! That is really terrible.

  13. soooo much to say about this, but will sum it up by saying: agree.

    btw,

    "Not all of us find Super Junior to be cooler than polar bears, because quite frankly those are hilarious animals and they live in the damn Arctic Circle, so if you want to get technical about it, I'm pretty sure polar bears are "cooler."

    best line of the article ^^

    I love your blog. It cracks me the hell up and I am glad you think along the same lines I do.

    Anyways, I had been expecting some kick-ass song, since everybody had been raving about it for so long and when I heard it, I thought I'd been punk'd. After checking to make sure no camera was hidden in my bookshelf and I wasn't on YouTube, I realized this was indeed THE song.
    And I was insulted.
    I'm 26 and I may not be in the demographic Super Junior is aiming for, but I'm right in the middle of their members' age bracket and I'm fairly certain their demographic is not five-year-olds.
    The tune and beat had potential but the lyrics were total crap and now I have, like, no respect for these producers.
    I'm still hoping that they post another song, an awesome song, and go "Just kidding, that other song was us just shitting you. Here's the real deal!" And it blows us away.

    Oh please, Shisus, let it be so.....

  17. Although the instrumental has quite a catchy beat, the lyrical aspect of the song itself is beyond that of childish and irritating. Frankly as an ELF who doesn't watch the Wiggles anymore (over the age of 4)... I am highly offended at this travesty being called an anthem.

  18. honestly, VIP's black & yellow remix is 100times more awesome. in terms of lyrics and song.

  19. this song is so horrible i want to vomit.
    and some of the comments on youtube say its a good song? ...this is not anywhere close to being quality music.

  20. I remember the first time I listened to this. The 'Hey girl, hey man' part just cracked me right up. I couldn't finish listening to the song, because I felt too embarrassed for myself, everybody and anybody listening to this song.

    Oh yes. Fighting fighting fighting hwaiting hwaiting hwaiting SHUT UP

  21. THANK GOODNESS YOU BLOGGED ABOUT THIS. When I first heard this song I was like, "AM I HEARING RIGHT?" As a slight fan of Super Junior even I'm offended. Horrible!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. OMG! How was this song "ok'ed" by the producers?It's terrible! Although it did make me laugh, because it was so atrorciously horrific, the song deserves to be condemed! Oh the producers embarassed themselves this time...Hopefully Shisus saves them and destroys this song! lol

  23. 100% AGREED.

    the tune's not bad, but the lyrics made me want to jump out a window and run away to Korea, where the music is actually good.

    i wonder what Super Junior would say.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I must have listened to something else that was also called "ELF's Song" on YouTube. ^^;; I guess I'll give this one a listen though, but from how you put it...I may have the same opinon as you ladies here.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I never listened to the song again after I heard it the first time.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My honest opinion, it's....pretty amusing.
    The first part is kinda okay, the lyrics are like, something you'd like to sing together as a group, for fun, at concerts. Considering some kinda songs SuJu brings on, like COOKING COOKING and...SUNNY SUNNY SUNNY I LOVE YOU I NEED YOU..this pretty much fits the category.
    But yeah the whole reference to pizza, popcorn, and polar bear..is pretty ridiculous.

    Still, that would be the ONLY bad thing about it.

  27. as I was reading your post, I was thinking to myself "it can't be THAT bad" and then I listened to the song. I was so shocked by the shittiness of the lyrics, it was probably the stupidest thing I have ever read. I'm embarrassed and a little offended right now ...

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm speechless... lol the ending is sooooo bad!

    Omo~ Thank you so much for posting this! And I thought I'm the only one totally, as in, TOTALLY HATING THIS EFFING SONG. I mean, it has no sense and ELF shouldn't deserve this. I also hate the fact that they're working w/ those guys cause I'd rather let them work with the producers who produced their great songs.:> Thankss.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am ranting about this 5 days ago. I just puked on the song itself. GoodWill and MGI, please leave our SuperJunior alone with their great producers in Korea. Just go produce songs for Justin Bieber. Please, let them sing sensible and awsum songs.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I feel like the fans tried to hire someone to be professional, but they would've been better off finding a great youtube star and paying them. Trying to go pro killed them they can't pronounce the words popular, and they didn't feel the love that ELF wanted to portray.
