Just A Few Words:
Ah, 4Minute.  Always good for a repetitive but catchy dance song.

English:  5 / 10
So the English at the beginning is okay, but then the rap gets weird.  Not to mention that "Let's live it up" is correct in the vernacular, but they add an extra syllable to "live."  "That" is also unintelligible to the casual non-Korean speaker.
