Music: Wonder Girls, Tell Me

Okay, I get it. Anywhere in the world... there are 1 hit wonders. Anywhere in the world... at some point, some artist will write a bad song and it will catch like a wild fire and you'll hear it EVERYWHERE. Heck, it happens in America ALL the time!

In Korea... that song is "Tell me" written by pop artist: The Wonder Girls. 5 cute Korean girls, that sing and dance. The song is really not so good... and the dancing... gosh, it's just emberrassing. Yet - watch it... it's just catchy. The only English is "tell me, tell me, t-t-t-t-t-tell me". All the kids know it... so I purposefully bring it up in class often. Sometimes I'll mimic a few of their dance moves to be funny... or when I'm quizzing them, I'll ask a question somewhere in there and the answer is "Wonder Girls". Today we were playing pictionary as a review game for a book we read. At one point I drew a picture of the wonder girls. :) It was fun.

Here's the video. Check it out. It's pretty obvious from the video, who it's meant to appeal to!

I didn't know you would like me,
What do I do? It makes me so happy.
Because it feels like I dream I consistently pinch myself
I'm so happy.

Just in case you wouldn't like me,
I don't know how much I had to worry,
But since you say you love me,
Oh my. Say it once more

Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
That you love me, that you've waited for me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
Tell me that you need me, tell me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
I want to continoulsy hear it, please continue to tell me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
Please tell me this isn't a dream

How come my heart beats like this?
It feels as if, my heart will explode.
When you look at me, if feels as if I'm getting electrocuted,

I don't know how much I've waiting,
I don't know how long I've dreamt for this,
But since you say you love me,
Oh my. Say it once more

Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
That you love me, that you've waited for me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
Tell me that you need me, tell me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
I want to continoulsy hear it, please continue to tell me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
Please tell me this isn't a dream

Tell me tell me tell me you
want me want me want me too
Tell me tell me tell me you
love me too love me too

I don't know how much I've waiting,
I don't know how long I've dreamt for this,
But since you say you love me,
Oh my. Say it once more

Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
That you love me, that you've waited for me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
Tell me that you need me, tell me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
I want to continoulsy hear it, please continue to tell me
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me
Please tell me this isn't a dream

The rap part:
Hit me once time baby, one more time,
Ok, I know what you did just now, but once more,
Ye, keep telling me, even if I hear, even if I heard, I wanna hear it again,
Sometimes I wonder if this is a dream
Ohmy! What I do?
