Chirpy Korean Girl Group Likes Glitter, Knee-Highs, Iowa Hawkeyes Football

"Via the good lads at Black Heart Gold Pants comes this music video for which I have no words, other than to say that it is no more inexplicable than the last time women in Korea fawned over a Hawkeye.

The group is called Girls' Generation and, like all Korean pop groups, it seems to have teleported in from an acid trip someone had in 1995.

Deadspin's Korea expert — my mom — reports that the song touches on such themes as shyness and wanting to talk to someone but not being able to. Also: Iowa Hawkeyes football."

1. Thank you, Scurrilous. Intriguing. All right. Listen up about Iowa City.

According to Men's Journal the most healthiest city in the US. According to Gay Advocate #3 in gay population. And our Hawkeyes. Got to admit.
Our logo is supreme. One of THE most recognizable in all the land. Surprising? No. I have me a feeling the Black & Gold are about to get a whole lot more popular.

2. Fascinating...

But in the way that leftovers you no longer recognize are fascinating. You figure the meal must've been good since you kept it around. But what the hell was it and when did you have it and why is it growing pink fuzzy stuff?

I have to admit, I'm dying of curiosity. What in god's name could it mean?

3. I've watched it a half dozen times and I still have no idea.
