Girls Generation 소녀시대has recently released a song/video called “Dancing Queen” 댄스 퀸 which is from their up and coming album “I got a Boy”. The production of this song/video was done in 2008. SM Entertainment has had the courage and confidence in these 9 artists to keep it in their back pocket so to speak. Yesasia now has the new release.
The opening scene
reminds me of their video “OH” where they are each doing their own activities.
Then they come together to view a time machine Yoona 윤아 has pulled from a package.
It then turns to a scene that is reminiscent of an American Drive-in from the
50s & 60s. Complete with old time Juke-box and Yuri 유리 on skates as the waitresses from that
time. They added a piece of modern times with a brief appearance of a DJ.
The dance starts
with the ladies in a Praying Mantis stance with swivel hip moves to accompany a
very addicting dance beat. We have the
girl’s standard line and V formations with more hip action. They even throw
in a “Saturday Night Fever” move and also introduced a new slow fist movement called "the cat dance" that
may become the song’s signature move. You can then add a touch of aegyo from
each of them and it’s a wrap!
The song itself
speaks of a young girl’s encounter with a dancer on stage and how it changed
her destiny to become that “Dancing Queen”. How she admired her sexy lines and
moves. How she could trust her body to feel the rhythm of the music. The vocals
themselves which starts with Taeyeon 태연 have
a bluesy sound that compliments the addicting beat. As always, each lady does a
solo bit along with the great harmonies their known for. This song has quickly
moved to the top of my list. I’m sure
you’ll find yourself moving your hips to the beat!!
Until next time,
festus
