1 – Girls' Generation - Gee

Hello world! Stan talent, stan a legend, stan <strike>LOOΠΔ</strike> ONTOLOGY. Join us as we start our dive into Korean pop music, and work through the sonic sugar rush that is SNSD's Gee.

We suggest listening to the song at least once before you listen to us go on about it! Take your pick from the music video, the choreography-centric version, and/or the live stage performance. Enjoy!

Here's Taemin's Danger dance practice video for our shared way into K-pop.
And it was this Taemin stage that got Claudia properly into K-pop.
#tbt I Gotta Feeling - or, another point of comparison, the equivalent chart-topper in the US at the same time as Gee was Maroon 5's One More Night. WARNING: it's not good
Fanchants are organized, pre-planned cheers that occur during natural breaks in the song. Common fanchants include shouting the full names of the members, replying to the lyrics to form a back-and-forth, or amplifying the "killer parts" of the song.
And here's an example of a Gee fanchant from 2017, Note that the big hype moment is screaming "Gee gee gee gee!" at the right time, and also, that no one is concerned about hitting the notes on GEE GEE GEE GEE.
Shoutout to Jakob Dorof's excellent K-pendium site (RIP site). Here's his article on Gee, which was definitely one of our influences on this project.

Come tell us how many songs you can pick out of the intro on Twitter: @regresssion and @claudiawylo (hint: there's definitely over a dozen). See you next time for TVXQ's Mirotic.
