I didn't like the song at first because the nursery rhyme sounded a bit cringy to my eaars. Now i absolutely love the song 🙈🫶🏼

2025-01-30 12:14:45 +0000 UTCohh i was super curious on your take on this! definitely another one of their quite polarizing songs to me the first few listens were quite shocking for me because hearing this very nostalgic and familiar nursery rhyme melody in a modern take + in english lyrics, instead of german or french like i’m used too + in a kpop song was just something i could not wrap my head around for quite some time. now it's quite odd, after getting over the initial surprise, it's definitly a good song, i think the concept is executed well BUT while listening to the song now i felt a bit of subconscious resistance of enjoying the song 100%. and a theory just hit me when d-some mentioned the word "catchy": for me frere jaques is prob THE most memorable nursery rhyme from childhood, singing it tons of times throughout kindergarden and elementary school and i have very special memories tied to singing it together back then. so i think maybe because it's so catchy there's a subconscious fear of losing that nostalgic association and emotinal tie to the melody? ig it's a mix memory preservence, cultural and emotional ties for me🤷♀️ that's why i think this was definitely a very daring song! and psychology is an interesting thing LOL i haven't seen anyone mention this so far, so i wonder if this is a bit more of a unique expirience or if more ppl feel similarly. i could imagine that ppl that also had a bit of that subconscious "off"-feeling just labeling the song as cringe instead of thinking more about it. i haven't seen any other kpop songs use a nursery rhyme sample like this. there've been references, "smaller" samples here and their e.g. in baby monster's woke up in tokyo they used the alphabet song, but never this much or in the chorus

2025-01-28 16:40:31 +0000 UTCooo, i really like this song!! this song's stage practice is iconic where the girls sing the song live while doing the choreo, I would definitely recommend checking it out as well :)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDOVARrOudw&ab_channel=NMIXX and this is one of the songs that really made people reconsider the success of nmixx, people were a bit nicer to them with YDS and love me like this. They were a bit more open to listen to NMIXX I believe

2025-01-28 15:36:37 +0000 UTCYep! It’s Frère Jacques (Brother John, are you sleeping in English, but the OG is French). It makes that whole bit super catchy. And I love the way the rest of the song ties into it and the whole playground youth theme of being… well… young, dumb, and stupid. It sounds like the sort of song we would sing while jumping rope in primary school. It didn’t feel like it reduced the song at all, it was their own take.

2025-01-28 15:34:27 +0000 UTCOoooo. Yes. This is probably the song i heard most when i first listened to them. Lol not Han-C calling himself old, dumb and stupid. I didn't actually know that this had a music video. I just listened to this song a lot. That song and then password came on a lot. Oh, it's a very cute young fresh vibe to the video. The beat is definitely the nursery rhyme. And that hand movement that they do for ding ding dong. I can't do that. Yeah no this song is so crazy catchy. The prechorus is super cute. I love the outfits in this video. Oh I love the ending of this video. It's very cute! Yes it is that nursery rhyme. Pairing mode. That's funny. I never knew that nursery rhyme in English. I only ever heard the French version. I didn't know how to say it properly. I didn't know what it meant, but that's the only way I knew it. What would you suggest that they have used instead of ding ding dong? Or do you mean like put lyrics like they did in the outro? I immediately love this song when I first heard it because I recognized the melody from a nursery rhyme.
