[edit] Lyrics (In KOREAN!!!)

A pivotal moment from the He's Singin' in Korean!!!! video.

SPOKEN: Girl?

I wanna dedicate this song to you
And the Time 100

SPOKEN: Girl, I love you so much
My feelings can only be expressed
in Korean

이봐 자기야
내 현대차에 올라타
이봐 자기야
함께 김치도 먹고오~
우린 함께야
??? 하는 Hawkeye과 Hot Lips처럼

The oft-copied dance sequence is a highlight of the video.

CHORUS: He’s singin’ in Korean
He’s singin’ in Korean
He’s singin’ in Korean
He’s singin’…
In KOREAN!!!!!

그리고 또 뭘할까?
한국적인게 또 뭐가 있을까?

CHORUS: He’s singin’ in Korean
He’s singin’ in Korean
He’s singin’ in Korean
He’s singin’…
In KOREAN!!!!!

[edit] Chart Success

When the song was released as Colbert's first pop single, Korean climbed to the top of the charts within seconds. The single stayed on the charts for seven hundred weeks, only to be removed from the charts by artist Stephen Colbert himself. When asked for a comment, Colbert simply said he couldn't expect anyone to defeat him in the charts and did the deed "for America".
