f(x), “Rum Pum Pum Pum”

Korean girl group f(x) has come back with Rum Pum Pum Pum, a catchy midtempo dancefloor scorcher that reflects the best of what this girl group has to offer. The song is already a #1 seller and has won on the music shows, which just goes to show that f(x) is the rightful heir to the Girls Generation throne if and when SNSD is ready to move on to bigger and better things. Meanwhile, yes, all five girls look amazing and I love this song.

What do I like best about Rum Pum Pum Pum?

  • The Middle Eastern flavor of Rum Pum Pum Pum is ridiculously catchy.
  • The percussion and the marching drum beats on Rum Pum Pum Pum are infectious and primal. It reminds me of some of the percussive work of Destiny’s Child. Terrific.
  • Of course, the girls’ signature silly lyrics and teasingly sexual delivery make it classic f(x).

I love it. Love it, love it. Go Victoria, you are so hot, it’s not even funny.

 

RUM PUM PUM PUM English Lyrics
f(x) (credit here)

Hello, you probably heard of me at least once
Your wisdom tooth
You probably think you experienced it all when you were young

Attention boys! I’m a bit different
I pushed aside all the others and took my place
Deep in your heart (purum purumpum)
Very secretly (purum purumpum)

I will pierce through your heart’s wall and grow (I will pierce through your heart’s wall and grow)
A special experience rum pum pum pum (A special experience rum pum pum pum)
It will hurt as if your head will shatter (It will hurt as if your head will shatter)
A new experience rum pum pum pum

Ouch, your head will hurt
You won’t be able to sleep
You won’t forget me easily
Your true first love that appeared all of a sudden, rum pum pum pum

What to do? You probably expected one who grew up straight
But I’ll be crooked and torture you, I’m not easy

It was like this or like that
there is so much talk but you can never know until you experience it
Even if you struggle to pull me out
that spot will be empty forever

It’s probably not me
Yeah, it probably is
Now I’ll make our own little secret
Shh! Our own little secret

Ouch, your head will hurt
You won’t be able to sleep
You won’t forget me easily
Your electrifying first love that appeared all of a sudden, rum pum pum pum

I will pierce through your heart’s wall and grow
I will pierce through your heart’s wall and grow (x3)
It will hurt as if your head will shatter
It will hurt as if it will shatter (x3)
As if it will shatter

Ouch, your head will hurt (your head will hurt)
You won’t be able to sleep (won’t be able to sleep)
You won’t forget me easily (you won’t forget me)
Your true first wisdom tooth that appeared all of a sudden, rum pum pum pum

Your true first love, a special experience
Rum pum pum pum
Your electrifying first love, a new experience
Rum pum pum pum
Your true first love, a special experience
Rum pum pum pum
Your electrifying first love, a new experience
Rum pum pum pum
