DASET D. D.J. D.J. Oh, Gung, I'm star. Gungum star. Oh, Dysc DJ. Hey, everybody, what's going on? It's time for another one. It's the Dasek DJs.

Opa! Hey, let's take it back to 2012. Remember that year? Remember that year? Remember that? Remember the ridiculous dance that everybody was doing? I already, based on the first, like, I don't know, 10 seconds, we've taken you back there. You remember.

Yeah. Remember when everybody was doing this shit dance? I remember. It's kind of high energy and I enjoy it. For some reason, like, everybody hated it, but yet, like, people were always, like, up for it. They're always like, oh, yeah. Kids loved it. Parents loved it.

Stations loved it. Yeah, it was. Every fucking. DJ loved it. For some reason, took off. Sy probably loved it. The creator of it. of the song because he probably made Boko dollars during that time.

Oh, he's still living off it. He pretty much made his career off this single. So we're going to do something a little different today where we are going to dissect something in Korean. We're going to use this little translator app. I studied it in college for three semesters. But he still sucks at it. He doesn't know shit about it.

I lived in Korea for 14 years actually as well. And yet somehow didn't help him at all? Nothing. Yeah. He still doesn't know anything size saying. So we're going to use this little translator app. And we're going to dissect for you everything said in Gandam style. Yes.

We're not going to do the version in Korean of what they're saying. Well, because it's... He says it. It's not really going to make sense if we spoke Korean. Also, we both don't speak Korean. So we aren't. We're going to be able to repeat exactly what he says. So we're going to skip it.

that but we're gonna let him sing that and then we're just gonna translate into English what he just said so let's hear you gotta spit sigh let's translate some gandem style yeah okay chum chum right first is style what opah is gondam style what's i mean gondam style actually don't describe what gondom style can we actually just start with that like what is godum style they don't say ghanem is shit Oba is gondamstown.

Why do we not do any kind of research? Okay, so Gondam is a city in Korea, though, right? I think so. God damn it. Do I think of mid-episode, what is Gondom? Yes. We're so embarrassing, I swear to God, okay. It's part of the culture and logic of the Dysect DJs to do what we do here.

And research on call. What I think Gondom style is is a type of, of soup done in a style that is focused in Korea I'm gonna delete all this because none of this is good

but okay I thought it was pretty good I don't know why you're hanging on it legitimately thought it was a soup so apparently Ghanem is a upskillop soup

type of soup I'm not gonna include that shit dude just shut up what did you think it was I fully thought it was a type of soup I don't know why you're hating on what I thought Gondom style was. I thought it was a

style of soup. Okay, Gondam is not a style of soup. It's actually an upscale, modern center home to gleaming skyscrapers, designer brands, and stylish nightclubs in Seoul, Korea where a big name DJ Spin, techno, and house.

So it's like basically, if you're in Seoul, which I was two years ago, it's the spot, which is where I remember, like, actually, I do remember experiencing, like, And not necessarily like the Ghanem style, but I remember seeing Ghanem and being like, oh, it all makes sense now.

It's basically what, I don't know, Vegas is to the United States or L.A. Got it. I was way off. Yeah, something like that. It's not a type of soup at all. If it was a soup, it would probably be delicious. It would have, like... You know, it probably is.

I'm sure they, you know, how people fucking market shit. Either ways, let's just... Let me hear what Sye has to say about this. Well, he already spoke it. And his first word were... Opah Ghanem style. Oba is Ghanem style. Yes.

Ghanem style. Dan, dan, dan, dan, dan, dan, dan. A girl who is warm and humanly during the day. A classy girl who know how to enjoy their freedom of a cup of cafe. A girl who gets hotter when the night comes. A girl with that kind of twist. So he's just talking about like a girl who's dope. That's it.

Yeah, but let's talk about what he's talking about? Like, a girl who is warm and humanly during the day. So he's looking for a freak in his sheets, but a lady in the streets. Yeah. That's what he's looking for. I honestly don't think we need to break that down further. Just like, yeah, he's talking about a girl. It's cool.

She likes a good cup of coffee. Why are you being all this like, don't want to break down things at this point of the night. I'm getting a little confused with you right now. Because I got, I gathered what he was saying. And I'm breaking it down to make sure as well as he's bringing up a freedom of a cup of coffee, which why the fuck is this man talking about a cup of coffee? He's describing a woman that he's like, he wants a freak in the bed. He wants a freak in the bed and a lady in the streets who also knows how to drink coffee.

That's what I'm getting from this first one. Because awesome girls usually, I don't know, enjoy their cup of coffee on like a Wednesday afternoon. I don't know. I just, I heard everything you said and I immediately like just went through. Okay, yeah, that's cool girl. All right, fine. All right, well. So I was ready to hear the next.

Second verse it is. I'm a guy, a guy who is warm as you during the day. A guy who one shots his coffee before it even cools down. A guy whose heart bursts when the night comes. That kind of guy. Okay, so the second verse is about the guy that, like, he's trying to be. Which is just the opposite of what she is. SIE kind of sounds like he's really focused on coffee for some reason.

What about his coffee? Whether it's the girl or the guy. Like, he's just, like, explaining first and foremost, okay, this is the purse that we got to talk about. But let's first get out of the way How they like their coffee Because the coffee is important Do you like a double shot of mocha?

It's in the first line and the second line I like a little bit of cappuccino And just a hint Of mocha fresca See what I was like Ever guessed in this song That half of the lyrics Were about him liking coffee

Never I did not know that I don't even know that the Koreans know that None of you knew that either unless you are Korean If you are fluent in Korean You knew the whole time You were like

This guy's just talking about coffee But honestly maybe that's why the song's so intense Because everybody's all cafeed up You know Hype is shit Beautiful Loveable Yes you

Hey Yes you Hey beautiful Loveable Yes you Hey yes you Now let's go Now let's go into the end

Beir, bear, bear, bear, per. What about Ghanem's down? All right, so none of that made sense. It's starting to feel like, like, if you, if you, it's starting to feel like when you watch some of those, like, Sega Genesis games that we grew up with that were made in Japan, where, like, they have, like, an opening story,

and, like, the translation didn't make sense. So we just, like, watched it, like, oh, all your base are belong to us. You know, like, you're like, all right, well, the Japanese, I'm sure thought that this makes, made sense, but not really working out. Or any movie really has translation. Exactly.

Like, if they had said the things that you just said in a song, nobody would have gotten it. But, like, we didn't give a fuck because he was saying it in Korean. So it was just like, just get to the part where he goes. Surprisingly, the A sexy lady in Korean translates to a sexy lady in English as well. That was the first question I had as I was listening to that. It was like, okay, this whole song has gone agreeably. Agreeably, they made the song to be like,

we're going to make this a Korean song. So here's always my question. I know that English has like an influence around the entire world where like almost all countries feel like they need to like learn English. More so than anybody here in America feels like they need to learn any other language. If it's not English, it's not English. it's not American, it's not right. Like bullshit like that.

Yeah. Okay. But like other countries definitely feel like that it's important to teach them English. If there is any language that is a little bit worldwide, it might be English, I'd say. So what's your question? So my point is like this song was not made for America.

It was originally a Korean song that made its way over here. So why did they decide to include that whole sexy lady thing in English. Everybody in the world knows sexy lady. Just say it in Korean then. Why not?

In Korean it would be I'm not gonna try to fake that up. Should we look it up? Should we look it up? Should we try it up? We're already doing the translation thing. I'll do it.

Just look at what is sexy lady in Korean and we will compare what it made this sound like. But I kind of answer the thing as I was saying it. The reason is like English works worldwide. But it's just weird to me that the whole song is in Korean except for that. Are you ready? Sexy lady in Korean, it would be Seguishiani Agassasi. Okay, so now we have a very...

Wait, that's not it's safe. Sexia naashi. Sexion naadish. That is sexy lady. Okay. Hey! Sexia not dashi. What?

What, what, what, what, what a guy love is down. Hey! Sexia na dashi. Yeah, sexy lady sounds better. Sexia not that's see Sexia not that's see Okay, I get why you didn't do it now Okay, makes sense

That just doesn't work Sometimes English just is the sexiest language Not always, definitely not always But sometimes Alright next verse about this girl that He talks about so simplistically What I got on stuff You're the same concept

But same thing going on the girl. He goes into the girl Let me just say before you translate the thing That last verse sounded aggressive It felt like he was shouting at the female. Like I just kept hearing He wants to describe the girl He sounded, let me just say before you translate the thing

That last verse sounded aggressive It felt like he was shouting at the female Like I just kept hearing Sonahe. I'm like, what are you yelling right now? So, yeah, I'm very curious to see where this goes. Now, I... Explain this to me.

Now, it's funny about this is I've done this song on karaoke many of times, right? And pretty good at it. Because you like bringing the dance in. You bring the dance, and then it's kind of funny because you're like, oh, no, son-ahead. Nobody knows what the hell is on the screen. And I'm like, you guys all know the words. Come on singing with me.

It's the epitome of doing a karaoke song just based on sound. Yeah, period. But with that said, I always kind of... I thought that the first verse was the second verse repeated and had no idea that he actually changed the words because I don't speak Korean. That's because you're racist. Maybe. Okay. I'm not racist, but maybe I don't know what.

I'm not cultured. Yeah, so it all sounded the same to you. Keep going. Same thing. But with that said, he talked, again, same concept happening here. He talks about the girl that himself. A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays. A girl who puts her hair down when the night time comes.

A girl who covers herself. but is more sexy than a girl who bears it all. A sensible girl like that. Hey, sexy lady. No, no, no. Okay. Next verse. I am a guy.

A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays. A guy who completely crazy when the night time comes. A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles. That kind of guy. Yeah, it sounds way cooler in Korean. You know what that level? first actually reminded me of. Remember when we did a culture beat Mr. Vane, episode 32, and Mr. J. Supreme basically, like, spoke as the master male who just, like, talks about,

like, himself, like, he's just, like, the epitome of all women's desires, and he gives a fuck about what you think, because basically coming through the voice of, like, a female's mind. That's what I, yeah, episode, by the way, episode 32. Where those European guys come in the background of every house beat back in the 90s. They always like kill you those dope beats with like their fucking tough talk reps. Call me, call me it's sick. Call me Mr. Vane. Yeah.

That's what I'm getting right now. Like he's basically talking like Jay Supreme and culture beats Mr. Vane. He's just like, oh yeah, I'm the shit. I want a girl who plays but is quiet but it's nice but plays when she plays. It's crazy at nights but knows how to put her hair up and be respectable. but also gets crazy. Basically does whatever I'm saying. Yeah, like that's what size has got me with with right now.

So, yeah. Now, he does say that he goes completely crazy when the night comes. I got to be honest, homie. Compose yourself. Control yourself. Cool it now. Cool it now. Okay?

Just like our new edition episode. You're going to lose control. Don't lose control. Be completely sane but fun through the nights. I just wanted to do that. And then a guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles, you're just basically saying you don't want to work out and you're a little bitch, but you play chess well,

you know? Sounds like me. Yeah, but I've also seen side, like, who the fuck is he calling out for like not having bulging muscles? The fact, anybody that ever calls out the fact that they don't have muscles,

like yeah, but I'm smart. Yeah, you're just a little, you're a pussy. Like, anybody can get muscles. You just got to have a hardworking medication and be correctly. Look,

I'm going to say it. Not anybody, I guess. I'm going to say, it this way. Look, you don't need to have bulging muscles to be like, you know, attractive to the opposite gender. But, if

you don't have it, you don't need to resort to, like, then calling out those who do like, oh, with you and your bulging muscles, oh, what does that do for you? Like, it's just, it's a fucking cheap shot. Like, the dude that does have bulging muscles, you work his ass off for that shit. And he's probably being attracted because of it. Like,

just let him have it. Just because you know, The quadratic formula. You don't got to fucking, like, call that out and be like, oh, looking how fucking big and strong you are like, fuck you. Just because you know for that shit. You know, Pythagorae in the theorem. You know, who gives a shit, you know? I don't know, man. You just kind of fucked it up with a whole whatever pythagrum theorem, damn, you know.

A squared plus B squared equals C squared, except if D is with E. Right? I don't trust that whatever you just said. Just get back to the jam. We're due for it. Real quick. He's yelling at this girl. He's like, beautiful. Yes, you. Hey, you. Yes, you. No, it's definitely one of those things where...

If you took the beat away, like, this is... This is just a drunk crazy man screaming outside of a club. Now let's go into the A-A. Like, this guy is like... How much is the song Bail sigh out? Like, from being just like a crazy loud Korean dude, just like screaming shit. To be like forever a household name.

This song. This song somehow became just like in 2012, which I always remember the year because that was the first year I began my end of the year mixes. And this is the song I ended on, which you did the music that year for me. And we made a point to be like, we have to have that song in there.

But at that point, by the end of the year, it had been so played out that we're like, it can't carry it. I think all we ended with, It literally, it literally was just open-gandem style explosion. That's it. That's the only time we used it. But it had to be in there. It worked well.

We had to include it. Yeah, yeah. And if you haven't checked that out, check it out. If you want to know what 2012 look like, I have a single page on Ryancastle.com. Not.com. Dot com. Because dot com would have cost another $2,000. And it was fine.

Take the M off. You'll find the web. Anyway, right. there is an entire page all of my end of the year mixes and the first one you'll see is 2012 and that 12 pit bull

yeah there's a lot of pit bull there's a lot of Lady Gaga there's a lot of uh I don't know Jaylow track that nobody ever knew but I thought it was a good track I don't know I didn't and we included it in there and like it worked either way it closes with Gondam style as the last note

and that's all we needed it for like yeah because like Gondom style was basically the theme of 2012 But by the end of it, it was so annoying that, like, we didn't really want to hear it. And then, let's be honest, Cassel. This song was done in English and he sang the same thing. Would have never made it. No way.

No way. No way. They were just yelling beautiful, lovable. It's actually, I'm not sure why it made it anyways, really. Because, like... It's right when that EDM kind of, like, was hitting, and it kind of has a beat like that. Yeah. Like, there's a lot of dope Korean songs that, like, deserve better attention to this one.

people love the BTS group They have a bunch of songs That people listen to So like They do have a song In the top 10 right now They have a lot of popular songs

But like it's just like yeah Nothing ever comes to what this song did For some reason Taking over America Like I don't really get it I can't explain it And it's one of those songs That's still hard to listen to

Because it got so overplayed It was so saturated With what this period was But that's the thing It's like it forever stands the test of time time as like a 2012 benchmark like this is what

2012 was everybody was doing gondom style everybody was doing that same whack-ass dance everybody pretending like this was fucking cool for like I don't know three month period at the very least two year period actually yeah it lasts a long time with like I had a teases of weddings and elementary schools for

five years after yeah I just kept going all right but like are we doing the song or is it. It has one more round of high energy fucking fantastic fun. All right well let's just play the rest of it so we get the fuck out of this. Alright? Opa and Kangnam star

Kongnam star. Oh yes okay. And that was the explosion to the 2012 mix which is the best explosion yeah right there yeah. Because like I said I didn't want to include the whole thing in our mix but like we did need to get in there so like it was literally

only included in that very last open gunned style now real quick he snuck in one more line on this and I always thought again that it was the same thing he said before but it was not let me get on it real quick on top of the running man is the flying man baby baby baby I am a man

who knows a thing or two on top of the running man is the flying man baby baby baby he says that twice I am a man who knows a thing or two why did you okay say read it twice just because he read it twice yes we said it twice Right, well. That breakdown part of the air where he goes,

Ney-Man, really need to say it twice. At the end, he goes, at the end, he goes, like, me, me, no. You know what I'm mean, that. That's where he does that. That's what he says that. Okay, fine. In top of the running man is the flying man.

What the fuck is he talking about? That feels like language deficiencies right there. It feels like he was looking up American things, like what's popular? Oh, the right? And was that not when the running man made like a resurgence, like with a, It's not the running man.

It was called the shuffle. Apparently. Apparently it's called the shuffle. Okay. It changed to. The running man was that thing. Either way. So basically he was looking up like, oh, the running end's popular.

And then he just, without even knowing what it was, he was just like, well, the flying man is even better than that. And he just kind of like made that. I think he's trying to hit on MC. Like MC Hammer had the running man. He was like. I don't associate MC Hammer with a running man. I more think of him with that like little sides.

where he's just like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. All right, well, I am, and he's hating on MC Hammer. All right, no. Fuck, sigh, hating on MC, yo. Get your hate out of the way, whatever you're trying to do. He's trying to make up a new dance. Don't me know what the flying man is. Sye, okay, the running man is a classic.

Stop trying to hit on old moves and, man, like, revamp him. I'm all right, like, you pissed me off at the end there. I'm tired of this shit. Can we just bring it to slaps and snaps? What do you give this? That was me killing a buck. Let me give you my snap. there you go

a slap in a snap slap in a snap okay that's it it's high energy had its moment don't mind what the fuck is talk about

I hate this song it's annoying I had to hear it too much it gets something though because it was something but I fucking hate this song what you got Steve

and I'm gonna go ahead and go so two snaps I give it two snaps I don't even want to give it any claps it's fine Like, it's, yeah.

So wait, a snap, a hey, sexy lady, and then another snap. Yeah. Look, I respect the cultural relevance of what the song was. But even then, even when it was at the peak of it's like, open gondom style, like everybody was like, oh, you do you know gondom style? Like, even then, I was just kind of like, yeah. And so that song is okay. Like, it's got some okay energy.

It's not like bad, but at no point at, any point in this song's history was I ever like oh god I'm sad like I just you know I never never gave a shit I really never did and I don't know exactly how what happened happened but like as we just experienced previously in their episode 38 when we discussed flew max dreams these songs could suddenly just get so in your face that you're like a little bit entrenched with They were like, oh, get this chung out of my face. And, like, dreams is a fucking jam that, like, I've lived with him my whole life. This song was, like, uh, yeah, I guess it's got some energy and it's okay.

But, like, I still can never forget back at that time in 2012 when it was just like, anywhere you went, this song was fucking playing. And it's just kind of like, how does this really happen? Like, how do these things happen sometimes? Sometimes I don't know how these happens? We're like, there's just random-ass song from Korea. It's just like every fucking wear. I can tell you this, Castle.

I hope it happens to us. In all honesty, I hope. I kind of don't, though, because like it makes... As long as we blow up, do we make millions. I don't give a fuck how we do it. I mean, it could be legit, but I'm going to fuck. It just makes you so annoying, so quick. I don't give a fuck.

You know how much money we would make if we grew up like that, dude? Yeah, okay, so we'd be set for a little bit. But like... Set forever! Every year, there's a song that just, like, kind of just drives the whole country crazy. And I would be happy to be that song. and this is definitely that if there's ever a song that is just a poster child

for that it's definitely sighs fucking yeah well sigh I didn't like the sigh I was hanging on the running man so I'm gonna go ahead and give him a nice little fuck sigh and I don't like you don't gladly be like

ah fuck sigh fuck sigh bro you never think of the other side I never saw him again you're done you're done then you kept doing your glasses in this stupid he was all serious you remember the back then He was all serious with this dude.

He was like, I'm so cool. Look at me. I don't remember shit about him. He fucking sucked. And sigh is stupid. The only thing I remember about Sai ever seeing is like on that New Year's Eve that year, they brought him out or whatever channel was watching. They're like, oh, sigh. And it's your birthday, right?

And they're like, he's like, yo, it's my birthday. And they're like, oh, happy birthday. How do you feel about this? And he's like, I'm sorry. I don't understand. And I was just like, I realize at that point, like, this guy is straight out of Korea. He got like interjected. Like I'm not hating on him for making this song.

Fuck that. I'm hating on him. I know. Can I finish what I'm saying though? Before you just interject with your hate? He made a song that was just like, I'm trying to make a song. America just oversaturated because that's what America does. And it made his career. But it also defined his career.

And I just really remember realizing at that Newer's Eve where he was just literally like, I'm sorry, I don't understand. Like Ryan Seekrest is like trying to talk to him. him and he was just like I okay yeah I don't I don't really know why I'm here and uh you know he's like yeah he doesn't

he he didn't deserve all the stuff that he got but like way too fuck side yeah but he wasn't that good so like he was just a random as Korean singer who made one song that like for some reason America decided to fucking throw in your face and kind of ruin his career

but yeah also make it at the same time America has a way of doing that. Anyways, yeah, I'm done talking with Sy. Castle. You take over the rest of the episode. You want some coffee? No. Well, Sai apparently wants us to go get some coffee. Give a fuck.

Next!
