Review: Shinee – Ring Ding Dong

06Nov09

Right. I know it’s way overdue, but oh whatevs. A review is a review is a review. Whether it’s way past the fresh release date now

First off, since this is an SM release, there is bound to be some cracky, lulz-ish explanation for this.

Tada!

The group will be coming back with a new unique concept and sound. It is revealed that the song is an Afro-electro genre music with African drums and groove. The song title will be Ring Ding Dong.

Afro-electro  complete with drums and groove.

This is just code for CRACKTASTIC in case you people didn’t know.

And it really is.

WHAT?!? ಠ_ಠ

Here’s the lyrics so you can see for yourself how cracky this song cracks the crack-o-meter:

I thought it was COLA COLA ELASTIC~ when it’s actually supposed to be ROCKA ROCKA. And it should be completely retitled as LING DING DING DONG~

Lulzy lyrics and title aside, seriously, this is one of Shinee’s best songs ever. I really mean that, no matter how ridic this song is actually. Just hum along and take no notice of the Kongrish lulz.

First things first, I ♥ this song so much. Seriously.

One: The boys look effing cool with their new, ~manly~ concept (although honestly there’s a long, long way to go before they can even reach my definition of manliness).

Two: The choreography. Look closely at the Ring Ding Dong part. Must hurt the hips a lot though

Three: Jonghyun. Blond Hair. akljfklajlkfjalkkljklasjklak;lwj *________________________* ’nuff said.

Four: ALL YOUR RIDIC KONGRISH PHRASES ARE US

Five: Afro-electro or whatever, this song is just awesome. It’s ridiculous, catchy and way upbeat. A++ in my book. Although there’s  a lot more autotune in this than usual SM songs but who cares, it sounds AAAMAAZING~

Six: Key’s hair! <3 Despite the nerdy bowl cut hairstyle, boy is doing it justice.

werk it key bb!

Seven: This song just reeks of Shinee’s contemporary R&B style. You know I was kind of disappointed at first with their latest batch of songs in the Romeo mini-album, since most are just pop and ballads, which isn’t bad in itself but hel~looo… IDK, it’s not the boys’ usual songs.Where’s my R&B?

Rating: A cracktastic 5 out of 5!
