Huge here in the US and this boy band from South Korea sings all their songs in Korean
Their fans call themselves the BTS army
They like to video tape themselves watching BTS on TV
Their reactions are hilarious. Here is a sample. A ton of them on youtube

Too funny
The Karate match in the Karate kid is getting the ESPN 30 for 30 treatment, treating the match as the real deal rather then fiction

I remember what a joke that movie
was to me. I took karate classes in
the early 70's and karate matches
are nothing like that.

In every class they always stressed
that running away was always the
first option. If you can't do that,
self defense is what karate is for.
It can never be used to attack, like
you see in the movies. And it's
over very fast in real life, like in
any fight you take your best shot
right away. Make the other guy
regret he ever met you.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Starts out normal enough, then like SATAN just comes out of nowhere.

When the ship went down in 1975
it was a pretty big deal. When this
song came out in 76 it was a monster
hit. Haunting is the best way to
describe it. Some of the best lyrics
ever.

T'was the witch of November come stealing..

C'mon..

Lots of great comments.

I love ballad types of songs that tell a story. If that is a genre than that is my favorite one.

Here's something for you.

For context, this song is about Yoshiko Yamaguchi a Chinese born Japanese actress during World War 2. She hid her Japanese heritage under the name Li Xiang Lan. The Chinese audiences adored her, not knowing the truth. After the war, her real identity was exposed. She was scorned by the people who adored her, and deported to Japan.

She never saw China again.

It's a very popular song in China.

The Japanese and the Chinese hate each
other with a passion. Live in Hawaii for
6 months, you'll see it all the time.

Slipknot has really upped their theatrical look quite a bit since I first saw them on TV -- think they all were wearing executioner hoods then.
