Opinion: Gangnam style is overrated(To me at least) for 2 Reasons.

I probably am going to get a whole lot of flak for this...., but I don't like gangnam style anymore.Originally I liked it a WHOLE lot. But now it seems a whole lot blander. It's a good song, but for the wrong reasons.

1.You won't know the lyrics unless you speak Korean or look it up.
Songs with ambiguous lyrics catch my attention because it's the emotion and the general mood of the song that gets you dancing and excited. I listen to J-Pop (Japanese pop music} a whole lot and I know like only 20 words of Japanese. My brother is learning Japanese, and once we learn the lyrics to J-pop, we will either like it more or stay away from it altogether.

2.It has a crazy music video.
The video is crazier than just listening to the song. A kid dances for Psy, then he's in a horse stable, then on a boat, and it gets crazier from there! I like crazy music videos, but this goes OVER. THE. TOP. The icing on the cake is the ending. A laser show with all the people fro the video (and THEN some) dancing the gangnam style.It makes no sense!

That's what I think, but what do YOU think? Post in the comments, and check back for more at RAUC TALK!

Something of the Week Dec 11


Something of the week
This month's category: Super Heroes!
This week's something: Superman!

Superman is a very popular fictional character. He is widely found in comic books published by DC comics. His inventors were Jerry Siegel (an american writer), and the artist Joe Shuster. He was placed in his first comic in 1932. Superman soon appeared in television programs, movies, newspaper strips, and video games.
Superman! ^
                   

Superman became a successful hero, and inspired others. Eventually, an entire "superhero genre" was added to the world.
His "S" symbol often represents him.

This guy became so popular, his creators soon had to start suing for his ownership!

 His powers include flight, supper-strength, invulnerability to most attacks, super-speed, X-ray vision, laser beam eyes, and super-hearing are just a few. In his earlier versions, Superman's flight ability was limited to being able to leap (really) long distances, but the animators of Superman soon asked the creators to change this ability to flight, saving lots of time moving Clark Kent around the place in films. His ability to fly was advanced even further, so that he could travel far into space with no sweat. This ability was often used by him to stop meteors from hitting Earth, or even just to take some relaxation time away from the world. Some people writing comics including him limited his abilities, like barely surviving a nuclear blast, while some other writers increased his powers, like being able to survive a nuclear blast with ease.

Well, now you know even more about the world's most popular superhero!

Something of the week

This month’s category: the elements


Today’s something: (*sparkle*) Gold! (*sparkle*) ("Au" on the periodic table)

This element is one of the most popular/well-known metal in the world. It is easy to bend (compared to other metals) but is virtually indestructible. Gold is yellow (if you haven’t noticed). It doesn’t do much in a solid state under standard conditions. Yes, I’m afraid it does not explode or any other awesome stuff like that. :P

There is a facility that takes microscopic pieces of gold and extracts it from dirt. It's a slow process, but it most certainly pays off.

Most of the gold in Earth is believed to be closer to the core, due to its heavy weight. It is guessed that it sank further down when our planet was younger.

Gold was first discovered BEFORE 6000 B.C.E..
