Just a Few Words:
This song is a new favorite of mine. I found it in my iTunes library when I overhauled it and I re-fell in love with it. Definitely a good dancing song! However, the lyrics are pretty simplistic and kinda...odd. Elvis? My grandma listens to him...(so not exactly culturally relavent).
This is also just one of those songs that works in Korean, but not in English. Onomatopoeias aren't commonly used in conversational English, but more frequently in Korean. So the part where it describes the sound of high-heels just doesn't translate well into English. Also, 똑각똑각 is the click of shoes, but the only think I can think of that sounds like that are...high-heels. But then and again, in the past, Elvis wore brogues which have a low heel...
English: 3 / 10.
-- So some lines are good and some, not so much. "You're my Elvis" doesn't make much sense to me at least. I get that Elvis was this mega-hottie back in the day and he was über famous and all, so maybe they're comparing the boy to Elvis...? (But what does Elvis have to do with angels...?)
Anyway, the pronunciation of some things is kinda off too. Firstly, the lack of the letter "v" in Korean leads "Elvis" to end up sounding like "Elbis", depending on who says it. Also, "bling" ends up like "ba-ring".
