Full disclosure: leading up to this release I promised myself I would forgo the usual parody review that has become a Bias List tradition when new music is released via the Universe app. After all, this whole venture has lasted much longer than I expected and my creative well has begun to run dry.
But then… I was inspired! This new Kep1er track is called Sugar Rush? Well, this calls for a song parody! So, here’s my musical review — set to the tune of The Archies’ 1969 classic Sugar, Sugar.
Let’s turn on the oldies and sing along!
Sugar
Oh, Kep1er, Kep1er
You have joined Universe
And released a crappy song
Honey
Oh, Kep1er, Kep1er
You could make something good
But instead, this is kind of wrong
I just can’t believe
The beats are so familiar
(I just can’t believe it’s true)
I just can’t believe
That irritating chorus, too
(I just can’t believe it’s true)
Sugar
Oh, Kep1er, Kep1er
You have joined Universe
And released a crappy song
Honey
Oh, Kep1er, Kep1er
You could make something good
But instead, this is kind of wrong
When I hear a song
I know how sweet a hook can be
(I know how sweet a hook can be)
Spending all my time just
Searching for a melody
(Searching for a melody)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sugar
Pour a little Sweetune on it, honey
Pour a little e.one on it, baby
Make the song so sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pour a little Brave Sound on it, oh yeah
Pour a little Full8loom on it, honey
Pour a little Hwang Hyun on it, baby
We’re gonna make your song so sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah
But make sure to avoid The Hub, honey
Ah, sugar
Ah-ah-ah, Kep1er, Kep1er
You have joined Universe
And released a crappy song
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Honey (honey, sugar, sugar)
Sugar sugar (honey, honey, sugar, sugar)
You have joined Universe

I was predicting your review would have some interplay on the Candy Crush Saga game. This is 100% a better review execution choice, hahaha.

Even though it’s a bad song, I’m sad for Yujin and the continued decrease in her number of lines (just 12 seconds here omg).

Secret fact about Sugar Sugar, this song pops OFF at karaoke. People only remember the first half of the song, but are easily blown away during the second half which is just vocal riff after vocal riff. Highly recommend for my karaoke singers out there.

Well… there’s probably this conversation going on somewhere in WakeOne:
“Okay, so the director wanted Kepl1er to join the Universe app. But we need a song.”
“So what? We can find a song from the remaining collection of demos, right?”
“Yeah, but Boss said ‘we can’t waste the good songs on that sh*t app’ and the budget is only 2000 dollars”
“Okay, let’s just pick the half-ass demos and tell the producer we’ll record but we need it finished in two days.”

Isn’t this the FOURTH song they’ve released this year? I mean goodness it hasn’t been a year and they already have a Korean AND Japanese debut! Also TWICE has a better candy themed music video (and song) with Candy Pop

I thought this was going to be a cover of one of my many favorite AKB48 songs that they did for the Wreck It Ralph soundtrack… This definitely is nothing close, unfortunately.

Sugar rush indeed, it made me so excited to turn off that music video once that nauseating chorus dropped. Like what was that?
