Ev'ry afternoon
When the clock strikes four
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

A crazy bunch of kids
Crash through that door
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

They throw off their coats
And leave the squares behind
And then they shake it, shake it, shake it
Like they're losing their mind
You'll never see them frown
'Cause they're the nicest kids in town

Every afternoon
You turn your T.V. on
(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na)

And we know you turn the sound up
When your parents are gone, yeah
(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na)

And then you twist and shout
For your favorite star
And once you've practiced every step
That's in your repertoire
You better come on down
And meet the nicest kids in town

Nice white kids
Who like to lead the way
And once a month
We have our "negro day!"
And i'm the man who keeps it spinnin' round
Mr. Corny Collins
With the latest, greatest Baltimore sound!!

So every afternoon
Drop everything
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

Who needs to read and write
When you can dance and sing?
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

As you lie in bed

And the bass and drums
Are pounding in your head

Who cares about sleep
When you can snooze in
School?

But they sure look cool
Don't need a cap and a gown
'Cause they're the nicest
Kids in town

They're the nicest. Nicest
They're the nicest, nicest
They're the sugar 'n' spicest,
The nicest kids in...
Kids in town!

Generation gap between parents and children


Differences in opinion will always exist between parents and children. Even twenty years ago, it was unheard of for students to dye their hair or wear makeup. Today, teens simply feel that they are making a fashion statement. On the contrary, parents feel that outer appearance should take a backsseat to academics. This growing focus on individuality futher alienates the younger generation. It also makes teens think that their parents are old-fashioned. Also, changes in technology have led kids to feel that their parents are out of touch with the times. Text massaging and the Internet have created so much more new lingo. As a result, today's youth feel as if they are literally speaking a different language from their parents.

Various types of rice cake(dduck) in Korea


Korean rice cake, which is called dduck, is a typical type of snack food most Koreans enjoy. It's one of the most popular party treats as well. There are well over a hundred different varieties of dduck in Korea. First of all, there is the "ga-rae dduck". This is the kind used in soups and in dishes like dduck-booki. Basically it's made from rice that is ground up, steamed, and rolled into thick noodles. And then there is the "special occasion dduck". Most of those are quite sweet. My favorites are injul-mi and song-pyeon. Injul-mi is made from sticky rice coated with bean powder. Song-pyeon is rice cake stuffed with things like honey and sesame seeds. Both are normally a litte smaller than the size of a ping pong ball and are easy to eat.

Rivalry in sports competitions between Korea and Japan


During WWⅡ, Japan conducted numerous atrocities against Korea. Japan has never formally apologized for those crimes against Korea. let alone compensate the victims. Plus, the two nations are currently bogged down in a territorial dispute over the Dokdo islets. Due to those reasons, the rivalry with Japan in international sporting events runs deep in our veins. Such rivalry hits its peak in team sports such as soccer or baseball. The most recent event was the World Baseball Classic back in March. Korean were fired up when we faced Japan several times. Tournaments against Japan are a matter of national pride for most Koreans. Hence, when Korea goes head-to-head with Japan in any type of sport, the whole country fanatically roots for the national team.

The Miss Korea pageant in Korea


There is an annual beauty pageant called "Miss Korea" in our country. Candidates from all over the country compete for the title every year. They compete in swinsuit contests, talented shows, and interviews during the tournament. Of course, candidates have to be physically attractive, intelligent, and talented to perform well. In Korea, the winner of a beauty pageant is called "jin". The first runner-up and second runner-up are called "sun" and "mi" respectively. The "Miss Korea" pageant used to be broadcast on national television, but it no longer is due to controversy over the event. The winner of the competition gets to represent Korea in the Miss Universe competition. Many finalists in the "Miss Korea" event end up becoming stars in the entertainment business.
