Crayon Pop – Hapataka (하파타카)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYolgwxRkp4

We’ll be the first to say that we’re not fans of Crayon Pop overall.  While they have some good songs here and there, the hipster toughness mixed with the member who has the almost insufferably high voice is a turn off.  Still, even we can’t deny the catchy nature of Hapataka, which mixes their very nice disco sound with a lower-registered vocal to make the kind of song that we would like to hear more often.  The lyrics are on the lame side, which is rare for them, but it’s the kind of song where (because we can’t understand it anyway) we’re willing to overlook that problem just this once.

Lyrics:
Backwards
Backwards
(Up side down) Turn it all upside down
(up down) Flip it all inside out
Down and up, Shake you Shake you, Move
Flip it over, Shake it Shake it Up side Down
Flip it all inside out (Up Down)
Flip it all inside out

Hey, we’ll make everyone laugh with a slightly different song
Everyone play together with a slightly different dance
Pop pop Crayon Pop is here
Say it backwards, say it backwards
Flip it over, hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Say it backwards
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Say it backwards

Up side Down, flip it all inside out (Say)
Up side Down, flip it all inside out (Hey)
Up side Down, flip it all inside out (Say)
Up side Down, flip it all over, Up Side Down
Flip it all inside out (Up Down)
Flip it all inside out
Down and up, Shake you Shake you, Move
Flip it over, Shake it Shake it Up side Down

Now let’s run, go go go
Say it backwards, say it backwards
Flip it over, hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Say it backwards
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Say it backwards

From the last place to the first place
From the soldier to the general
From the kid to the adult, let’s go, come on

Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Say it backwards

Make it hot, flip it over, down and up, shake it
Change the way you think, flip it over
Hapataka, chajasaba, maladanaga
Say it backwards
