My Eyes are Burning from Loathe

There have been many occurrences where the music video for the song doesn’t make any sense to what the song is about, and/or worse, the scenes of the music video are really disturbing. Two examples of this are PSY’s Gangnam Style, and Xia Junsu’s Tarantallegra.

 
Usually the music video would being out the meaning of the song even more, but that’s not always the case. Ever since PSY’s international break through with his song ‘Gangnam Style’, the world has been dancing the moves. Remember the famous ‘horse riding’ dance move while swinging around an imaginary lariat rope?  But does anyone really get what he’s doing? Before he even starts singing, we see a guy who keeps lolling his head about as if he’s dying from dehydration due to the heat. Does that make sense to anyone? :/ During the video, there were also scenes of the guy with his arms around a couple of girls walking through flying rubbish (romantic much?), and suddenly some guy in a yellow suit wanted to stop by with his car and join in the dance? And also, as if the guy screaming while staring at a girl’s arse isn’t disturbing enough, is the ten seconds of that seriously disturbing hip thrusting, in an elevator, over another guy! >< Enjoy having someone between your legs much, let alone perving on a guy going to the bathroom?

“As much as I love you, I can’t stand by and watch.” We might as well go grab the iPod and listen to the song if the video is unbearable, just like as in Tarantallegra. Although the name ‘Tarantallegra’ may mean a curse to dance uncontrollably, the dance moves, etc, are visually detached from the song. Already, the dance in general, simply is disturbing—it’s not merely ‘sexy’, but a lead on to erotic. Excessive hip thrusting, girls snaking and slithering all over a guy, even feeling him?! Isn’t that epically random clear tube already entangling them enough? It’s like grabbing a transparent garden hose from the backyard, play around with it like it’s a python and dance around crazy! Anyhow, to a less disturbing side of the video, there were rather random scenes to have been recorded for the video, for example, the thousand hands Buddha pose, a bunch of girls holding cameras, like a paparazzi, to a guy lying down on a couch who pays no attention to them. At least they aren’t as disturbing as other scenes, but they are still pretty random to the song.
