We now bring you an urgent Fangirl bulletin

ZOMG SINGIN’ IN KOREAN!!!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.

(It never, ever, gets old. EVER! Do you hear me??? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!)


EDIT:

This is one of my favorite segments in ages. My favorite bits about this vid –

  • “I await your lawsuit.”
  • The return of Anthrax
  • “Shut up! Shut up! Everyone experiments at camp!”
  • The fish who sings “Funkytown”
  • “I can muss up my hair.”
  • “Hey Rain, nice jacket, my sister wants it back.”

    I had a feeling this one would get re-aired on the show when they mentioned the Time 100 voting. I like the fact they edited in a a little tidbit at the end and added Stephen throwing the “Time” magazine. Nice touch!

    You’re right, this video never gets old. I particularly loved “Hey Rain, nice jacket, my sister wants it back.” I wonder if they’ve ever tried to book him on the show? Comic potential there…

    @ imoldfashioned

    Rain has improved his English quite a bit over the last year, so I’m told. Perhaps an appearance in anticipation for the release of Speed Racer? *CALLING IT*

  5. @imoldfashioned: I think they did try to get Rain on last year, but couldn’t because he doesn’t speak English? (Unless I’m remembering wrong.)

    But surely they could use a translator. It would be awesome.

    They should totally get Rain on the show, so they can have a throwdown.

    They could have a DANCE-AND-SING-OFF!!

    I think Rain wasn’t able to be on the show because of passport issues, if I remember correctly. He couldn’t get in the country at all.

    Actually, this was it:

    Korean star Rain cancel US tour

    SEOUL — South Korean pop idol Rain has postponed his scheduled tour of the United States due to a lawsuit involving a US band and recording firm with the same name, organizers said Tuesday.

    Star M Entertainment, organizer of the singer and hip-hop dancer’s world tour, said the US plaintiff demanded that he not use the name Rain during his US concerts originally scheduled to start this week.

    “We have postponed the US tour. We will push for it as soon as the legal case is settled,” a Star M Entertainment spokesman told Agence France-Presse.

    The singer had planned to perform in Hawaii, Atlanta, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles from June 15 to 30.

    But Rain Corporation, which works with a US band also called Rain, filed a legal action with a Nevada court in February against the South Korean singer’s use of the name for concerts in the US, the spokesman added.

    I didn’t know that Rain had been involved in that lawsuit–trust the Hero Zoners to provide such information! Thanks for that DB.

    I just CANNOT believe that Stephen is up against the same frigging pop star from Korea again.

    Hilarious!!!!!!

    OMG! That whole tip/wag segment was hilarious. I loved the Dr. Suess fish, the fish mating call and all of the quotes DB mentioned above. DB, you are absolutely right. “He’s Singin’ in Korean” NEVER gets old.

    I remember that some of Rain’s fans were offended by “He’s Singin’ in Korean” last year. I wonder if that is causing them to mobilize even more this time around to make sure Rain beats Stephen again.

    @ One of the Heroes–

    If Rain beats Stephen again though, chances are that he’ll just make another segment like “Singin’ In Korean” that will offend them even more. Do they not realize that? Lol.

    I find it amazing how some people underestimate the comedic whirlwind that is Stephen Colbert.

    @AmandaIvy,
    At least we know that Stephen will do something amazingly funny with this situation no matter what the outcome is.

    Stephen’s in second again. He’s closing in on Rain. Hey what would happen if Stephen won? Would Rain do a similar video as a response?

  14. One of the Heroes says:

    Stephen is in second and Jon is in third! Wouldn’t it be great if they both beat Rain?

    Nothing as cool as “Singin’ In Korean”, that’s for sure!

    Did anyone else think it was going to be Robin Wright (Penn) and not this lady? I was so confused…
