Watching the 2009 Korean television show Boys Before Flowers has been an eye-opening experience, not just for the dramedy of the show, the characters, and the hilarity of the dialogue, but also for the music. After hearing "Stand By Me", which is played many times throughout several of the episodes, I found myself humming the notes, singing the chorus (which I now know that I had terribly misunderstood), and even finding lyrics of other songs with which to mix the lyrics. For instance, Rick Astley's nauseating but popular "Never Gonna Give You Up" mixes well with the song, no matter how you write it. For instance:
Together making love
Forever making you smile
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Equally amazing is the following:
Never gonna give you up
Together making love
Never gonna let you down
Forever making you smile
See what I mean?
Rick Astley must do a cameo with the group that sings the song, Korea's SHINee. Nothing like an older pasty-skinned redhead thrust among a bunch of effeminate young Asian guys, right?
