Wonder Girls Nobody (Chinese Version with Lyrics)

Well this song proved to be so popular that the Wonder Girls have to record a Chinese version of it. It was released in February 2010, some 14 months after the original version. One wonders whether this will be a mandarinpop hit since most people should be bored by it now.

Since I have posted the various versions here and there are still people who occasionally come to my blog for the lyrics, I decided to post the Chinese version here as well. Within brackets, is the ping yin (romanized chinese) lyrics in italics with English translation.

Wash Your Hands Too (parody of Wonder Girls’ Nobody)

This is a spoof of Wonder Girls’ Nobody by Mr Brown.



I dowan you to touch me baby
You go toilet never wash hand right?
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
You don’t want to get swine flu or someone pass to you
You better wash your body your body your body
H1N1 is confirm no fun
Be careful where you go, US or Mexico
If you have temperature that mean you got fever
Don’t just take honey, this flu is not funny
Maybe it’s time to wear a mask
Maybe you have forgotten SARS!
Whatever the weather, must bring thermometer
Stick it in your armpit or down there!!
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
Though the level is yellow, don’t be dirty fellow
You better wash your body your body your body
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
Must wash after poo poo or germs will stick to you
Wash more than your body your body
I know you use finger, don’t let the smell linger
I know you dig gold, and wipe on some pole
You scratch your backside, and think you can hide
You play your below, take ice from my Milo
Maybe it’s time to be hygiene, maybe you should be quarantined
Don’t be a spreader, we stay clean together!
We’ll pick the kutus from each other’s hair!
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
If you think you’re infected don’t blur go Orchard
Don’t pass to somebody somebody so mebody
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
When you wash your body, wash your hands too!
Must wash after pang jio; the Wonder Girls damn chio
They dowan your body your body your body
Back in the days when we only took a bath monthly now…
Looking at you I feel, as sick Kim Jong III
Your breath smell like kimchi, you see
There’s no vaccine Eugene
Go wash your body your body your body
Wash your hands too!

Wonder Girls - Nobody (English Version with lyrics)

This is the English Version which was released as a single in the US.



You know I still love you baby, and it will never change (saranghae)
I want nobody nobody but you!
I want nobody nobody but you!
How can I be with another, I don’t want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody!
Why are you trying to, to make me leave ya
I know what you’re thinking. Baby, why aren’t you listening?
How can I just, just love someone else and
Forget you completely, when I know you still love me
Telling me you’re not good enough. My life with you is just too tough.
You know it’s not right, so just stop and come back boy
How can this be when we were meant to be
I want nobody nobody but you!
I want nobody nobody but you!
How can I be with another, I don’t want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody!
I want nobody nobody but you!
I want nobody nobody but you!
How can I be with another, I don’t want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody!
Why can’t we just, just be like this cause it’s you that I need and
nothing else until the end
Who else can ever make my feel the way I
I feel when I’m with you, no one will ever do
Telling me you’re not good enough. My life with you is just too tough.
You know me enough, so you know what I need boy
Right next to you is where I need to be
I want nobody nobody but you!
I want nobody nobody but you!
How can I be with another, I don’t want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody!
I want nobody nobody but you!
I want nobody nobody but you!
How can I be with another, I don’t want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody!
I don’t want nobody, body
I don’t want nobody, body
Honey you know it’s you that I want,
It’s you that I need, why can’t you see
I want nobody nobody but you!
I want nobody nobody but you.
How can I be with another, I don’t want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
I want nobody nobody but you!
I want nobody nobody but you!
How can I be with another, I don’t want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
Back to days when we were so young and wild and free
Nothing else matter other than you and me, so tell me why can’t it be
Please let me live my life my way, why do you push me away
I don’t want nobody nobody nobody nobody but you.

Wonder Girls - Nobody (with romanized lyrics)

This song has already been on the charts for more than half a year already and it is still popular. I last talk about it in one of my May 2009 postings.

It quite amusing to see grown men, especially male athletics and personnel from the military and police, doing the dance. It is a delight to see young toddlers doing the dance.

Here is another video clip of the song, starting with the ballad version and then the original version. Hopefully this clip will not be removed subsequently. The romanized korean lyrics appear below the clip.

K-POP

Since I was able to receive KBS World on TV, I was reacquainted with Korean pop music. I was sort of into K-Pop just before the turn of the century but there was a period of time I was “out” of it. Don’t know and can’t remember why I stopped in between these two periods. Maybe the disbanding of some of my favourite groups?

Was into Clon, Fly to the Sky, S.E.S., Baby V.O.X., H.O.T. and practically everyone’s favourite, Shinhwa.

Clon (formed in 1996) and Fly to the Sky (formed in 1999) were duos. There were lots of high power energy rap from Clon and Fly to the Sky stood out as their music had a lot of american influence. Unfortunately, Kang Won-Rae, one half of Clon, met with a tragic motorcycle accident in November 2000, which left him paralyzed from the waist down.

H.O.T. (formed in 1996) was undoubtedly HOT as many would say that they set the trend and standards for subsequent boy and girl bands in Korea, including Shinhwa. H.O.T. (many think that it stands for High-five Of Teenagers) had five members including Kangta. H.O.T. disbanded in 2001.

S.E.S. (formed in 1997 till 2002) was the female equivalent of H.O.T. The name of this band is made up of the initial of each of its members’ names, just like Taiwan’s SHE.

Amongst the female bands that tried to ride on the success of S.E.S. and actually do made a mark for themselves was Baby V.O.X. (Voices Of Xpression; formed in 1999 till 2005), with five members.

Shinhwa (formed in 1998) is legendary just like its chinese name, 神話. With six members who are not only musicians in their own rights, they are the only band that had survived for more than 10 years. The last album was released last year in 2008. Whilst members had gone solo, they are still officially together as a band. It is rumoured that they will be together for another five years before disbanding.

I am not sure whether it is fair for me to say, but I think that many members of the current new bands may not be able to stand on their own unlike the earlier members mentioned above. Some of the earlier members had gone solo and are just as popular now. Some of them, who might no longer be on stage, are well respected behind the scene.

My comment is based on my observation of current new groups: the members are very young and the sheer size of each group. The earlier groups had 2 to 6 members. Now it is like you need at least 5 and up to 13 members: Big Bang (5 members), Wonder Girls (5), 2 PM (7), Girls’ Generation (9), Super Junior (13). Maybe they are from what is called idol faction [偶像派] and not strength faction [实力派] (having good looks versus having good singing skills).

Notwithstanding the “quality” of the current new groups, their music is characterized by catchy tune and beat with simple yet slick dance moves. The choreography when done by one person might seem silly but when executed in unison and precision as a group it can be quite entertaining. Like many Mandarin and Japanese songs, a simple but mandatory English word or phrase must be thrown in. So for people like me who doesn’t understand Korean, it is usually the part with the English word or phrase that catches on with us.

You can watch Music Bank (Korea Top 20 music chart show) every Tuesday from 6.00 pm to 7.20 pm on Starhub (free) Channel 173. At this time, I am usually just chilling after dinner and checking out what’s on TV anyway.

Not decided whether you want to tune in? Well here are three of the past and current holders of the Number 1 spot in the Music K-Chart, arranged chronologically:

Wonder Girls - Noboby



Girl's Generation - Gee



Super Junior - Sorry Sorry



I want nobody nobody but you, nobody nobody but you, gee gee gee baby baby baby, gee gee gee baby baby baby, sorry sorry sorry sorry!!
