Grannies' Generation "First Date" & Lyrics

Are you ready to witness the first original song from Grannies' Generation? The whole KWOW crew had too much fun making this one!

Lyrics to "First Date"

GRANNY KIM:
할멈시대... Grannies Generation...
I’m the band leader Granny Kim
She’s Bongja. My best friend.
And the rest of our crew is late.
We operate on Korea time.

TAEKWON DO:
Girl, we just went on our first date today
And I can’t stop thinking about you.
You’re my superstar.
And I’m your biggest fan.

PROFESSOR OH:
To him her hair is like harp strings
And the wind strums gently

TAEKWON DO:
Lips like sugar
Though I’ve only kissed her in my dreams

BILLY JIN:
OMO! Jinjja oppa? Rawr~
What if i have kimchi stuck in my teeth?

TAEKWON DO:
Bebe, I love kimchi.
I’m a hangook nom.

BILLY JIN:
What if I wore thick horizontal lines and it made me look fat?

TAEKWON DO:
Hey bros, never tell a girl she’s fat.

PROFESSOR OH:
다다다 좋아~

TAEKWON DO:
Picking you up on our very next date.

BILLY JIN:
How do I look?
I should’ve worn pink.

TAEKWON DO:
She looks so beautiful
I hope I’m not staring too hard
Don’t wanna look like a creep

BONGJA:
Ladies don’t be shy
You ain’t no robot
Show your bristles a little love

GRANNY KIM:
Yeayaaaa~
Let your national parks rainnnnnnnn!!!
Just like my cash!

TAEKWON DO:
Even if you fart, it’ll sound like aegyo to me.

PROFESSOR OH:
Huhhhh ooohhhhh~

BILLY JIN:
Come here closer,
I’ve got a gift for you.

Exotic Korean Drum Dances

This week on KWOW, Professor Oh explains the drum dancing featured in 2NE1's "I'm the Best" and "Gu Family Book."

Feel the beat of the vibrant 5-drum dance (ogomu/오고무). The female players spin, jump, kneel and bend backwards as they hit the drums. Time to break out in some colorful sweat!

A shiny, abstract version of the 3-drum dance (samgomu/삼고무) appears in 2NE1's "I'm the Best" at 2:47.

Many, many, many drummers! Up, down and all around!

Stay tuned for our special 100th episode of KWOW next Wednesday! Granny Kim is cooking up something spicy.
