Asian artists have no qualms "selling out", in fact its the only way to make
money when most of your fans listen to pirated cd's.
One of the stars in the music video for the South Korean pop song "Anymotion"
is bare-bellied teen idol Lee Hyo Lee. ...
Samsung paid all the costs of making the song and the video -- and even hired
the music producer and choreographer. "We hope the lyrics will remind people
of Anycall when they hear the word 'any' several times," says Jong Hyun Kim,
a manager at Samsung's ad agency, Cheil Communications. Samsung's Web site
features a computer-generated Ms. Lee teaching teens the hip-jostling
Anymotion dance. ...
Clubbers in the Philippines last year danced to the robotic bleats of "Hello
Moto," a song commissioned by cellphone maker Motorola Inc. ...
... McDonald's Corp. paid American singer Justin Timberlake and
Taiwanese-American singer Wang Leehom, who is active in China, to record
songs using the restaurant chain's "I'm Lovin' It" slogan and jingle. Mr.
Timberlake's U.S. version doesn't mention the Golden Arches and the music
video doesn't feature any McDonald's restaurants.
In Mr. Wang's version of "I'm Lovin' It" for Asian audiences, he raps in one
lyric, "You know what I really, really like? McDonald's!" In the music video,
he hangs out behind the counter of a Shanghai McDonald's dressed as a
french-fry preparer. ...
In the new version, which he calls "McHip-hop," Mr. Wang raps in Mandarin
Chinese, "One taro pie, thank you." ...
Brilliant! Somehow the contrarian in me wants to say this is a great step
forward for music. Eventually you feel music of this sort would have to
become quite sophisticated, maximizing the product placements in creative and
subtle ways which are interesting enough to keep an audience's attention. It
could be quite a skill. Of course it'd be much easier to disdain this new
trend.

這世界很複雜 混淆我想說的話 我不懂 太複雜的文法 ∵ ∵
什樣的禮物 能夠永遠記得住 讓幸福 別走得太倉促 ∴
雲和天 蝶和花 從來不需要說話 斷不了 依然日夜牽掛
∴ 唱情歌 說情話 只想讓你聽清楚 我愛你 是唯一的傾訴 ∵
寫一首簡單的歌 讓你的心情快樂 愛情就像一條河 難免會碰到波折
∵ 這一首簡單的歌 並沒有什麼獨特 好像我 那麼的平凡卻又深刻
