Super Junior

Hello. It's me again! Well, of course it's me, it's my blog! Anyway. Alright, having ranted and raved about my beloved DBSK and SHINee, it is time to move on to Super Junior! ~Sound trumpets~ Despite the slightly more extravagant fanfare and having saved them for last, Super Junior is not my favorite band. In fact, of the three, they are my least favorite, but I like them very much. Their songs have so much energy and are incredibly entertaining. Even so, the thing that makes me most impressed with them is the number of guys in their group. While DBSK and SHINee have the normal amount of 5 each, Super Junior has 13! 13!! I can imagine the choreographer's hair turning white at the thought. With all the large dance moves these Korean boy bands seem to prefer, how are you going to make it work with 13, all at once? Well, Super Junior tackled the problem and came up with a remarkably wonderful solution.
The song that originally hooked me was Sorry Sorry, and the reason is because it was referenced in my all time favorite show, You're Beautiful. Manager Ma, the coordinator and Mi Nam do a small portion of this dance (all in Manager Ma's head when he was trying to figure out how to keep Tae Kyung from telling everyone that Mi Nam was a girl) and then later, there is a scene where Mi Nam, who has lived in a convent her whole life is trying to get up to date on pop culture and names all 13 of the Super Junior boys. Without further ado, Sorry Sorry.


After having watched this video, I quickly added "Wipe the Shoe" to my repertoire of stupid dance moves that I break out when being a goof (It joins other infamous moves like the Shopping Cart, Driving the Bus, Fax machine etc.).
My favorite part of this video has to be during the, 'bah bah bah baba, bah bah bababa" part where they have their arms crossed over their chests and they do the leaning back thing. When they stand up straight and then walk to the right just so they can start doing it again away from the wall, I just crack up every time! I think I've spent more time on the floor watching this than any other video save Balloons (DBSK). I also enjoyed their tutting as it is a form of dance I've come to find enjoyable to watch.
After that, I moved on to Boom Boom. I find it unbelievably catchy and often find myself humming it throughout the day. This song apparently doesn't have an official music video, but some nice people who have way too much time on their hands were nice enough to splice a bunch of Super Junior's other videos together to make one. So while this one that I'm posting is done by an obvious amature, it's far better than I'm sure I would have been able to do, and it gives you something interesting to watch while you listen to the song.

Who can resist a song when they sing 'twinkle twinkle, little star' in it?? Not me!
I want to mention their song called Wonder Boy here even though I'm not going to post it. I'm not in love with the song, but their music video has a dancing panda in it so it required at Least an honorable mention here.
The last song I'm going to post is called Bonamana and it's another catchy one.

I especially like their speed skater move. ~Laughs~
I have to wonder privately if they aren't my favorite simply because there are too many of them for me to form any attachment to them in particular. I love DBSK because Hero and Max are just too cute, and Micky is an awesome character in SungKyunKwan Scandal. I really like SHINee because Taemin is gorgeous and...well, who am I kidding, all the boys in SHINee are drool worthy, but Taemin reminds me of some one I used to have strong feelings for so that sealed the deal for that band. There are just so many people in Super Junior that I don't know any of their names and I can't tell any of them apart. But there are more Super Junior songs that I like than either of the other bands produced. Aw, who cares? The order in which you favor a band doesn't have to be logical! Oh good, now that I've worked that out, I feel much better.
Look forward to my next posting! (Though I'm not sure what it's going to be about. Maybe Jeremy's band? Eh...)
