This week's Music Monday is the Alien Debut edition with EXO-K's 'Mama'

After 10,000 teasers and prologues and singles that aren't really singles but feel like singles. . .

EXO has finally debuted with their first single, which I actually consider their third single.

I get it. SM was trying not only to build up hype for their new band,

but also tell mini-stories that lead up to their debut video.

Which is a pretty bad-ass explanation of EXO's roots.

EXO are not actually boys but 12 forces which protect a tree.

From what?. . . I don't understand what it is.

My guess? Intergalactic lumberjacks or a hoard of hungry space beavers.

Except, that doesn't sound as impressive when I say it.

Where's Morgan Freeman's voice when you need it?

[Morgan Freeman impression] "And thus, came the penguins, walking."

"And I make this sound interesting when it really isn't."

And these 12 forces have taken on the shape of young, slim, good-looking Korean boys!

Which, when they're not protecting Tree of Life on their free time,

join together in union to practice singing and dancing.

I get it! Bet it'd be hella boring to just stand around and protect a tree all day!

It's like, "Look!! I've got the power to create a fire eagle!"

"But I should just stand around and protect the tree!"

"Hey guys! Look! Look at my fire eagle! Look! Look! LOOK!"

"Oh shiii* almost burned down the tree. Gotta go"

[godly boom voice] You twelve are banish-ed to Earth for almost burning down Tree of Life

[GBV] Accept your punishment with more dignity than that you whimpering Korean boy!

Okay! So Before we go any further into this video about EXO's mythology,

we've got to point out something that's REALLY been nagging us.

I NOW understand why Super Junior has had such lackluster videos lately.

In which they just dress well and dance in oddly lit rooms over and over again.

It SEEMS that SM has been saving all of their money for EXO,

and have been neglecting Super Junior as a result.

Super Junior is already well-established with a HUGE fanbase

that will blindly love everything Super Junior does no matter what it is.

So SM knows that they don't have to spend a lot of effort with Super Junior.

But, I still personally feel that SM should have spent a LITTLE bit of that budget from

EXO's 25 teasers and 3 music videos, on just beefing up Super Junior's videos a little bit.

"Ok guys! Listen up. Heechul! Pay attention. Shindong, hey."

"Um, for todays' music video we're gonna have you guys in an oddly-lit room, um, and we're gonna get- oh!-

we're gonna get the slo-mo camera! Ooo, sparkly! Slo-mo camera! Great!"

"What? We already did that for our last music video aaand, we already used the slow motion camera a lot."

[scary demon voice! D:] "I will beat you by the SOLES of your feet so that NOBODY can see the bruises."

"That's right. Okay everyone! Costume, places!"

We totally LOVED this song! This really brings SM back to the music that we really love from them.

Not electro, club, rap mash-ups, but instead, something EPIC!

With the semi-Latin chanting in the background!

Though Simon still likes the SONG, he's still really enamored by E-X-O's first single,

or their debut-debut, their prologue-prologue-prologue. . .

And still, 'rippido, flippido, super slow-motion' loses his pants on a daily basis.

[Simon background performance] Iiii lost my miiiiind!!!

As for me, my rock roots can't help but alert me to the striking similarities this song has to Led Zeppelin's 'Cashmere'

or Puff Daddy's 'Come with Me' featuring Jimmy Page.

I mean, it's DIFFERENT, but it's pretty SIMILAR, but I'm not saying I don't like the song.

I'm just saying that my rock roots alerted me.

But, perhaps that's just because I'm old.

And DYING. Dying of oldness, and dying for

Now, as we were saying before in our understanding of their mythology,

EXO used to be 12 forces that protected Tree of Life.

But, being young boys, they obviously fooled around with their super powers

until they almost burned down Tree of Life.

So, their MAMA kicked them off their planet, onto the parallel universe,

At first, when EXO arrives on Earth, SOME people don't really care about MAMA's warning.

While OTHERS, have taken MAMA's scolding to heart.

He looks the most depressed to be off of Planet EXO.

He's all, like, sulking in the middle of the desert,

making angry tornadoes and catching butterflies for Skyrim.

At least, I hope he's the one who's responsible for that tornado,

and not just some random dude about to be mowed down by a class six while he runs around chasing butterflies.

Otherwiseůyour lack of any spider senses

Meanwhile, the other fire Exotics and transportation Exotics are still fooling around with their powers very irresponsibly.

Ugh! Can you stop fooling around with your stupid Death Eater transportation powers?!

This is what got us kicked off the planet in the first place!!!

Ugh! What kind of lame power doesn't(?) teleport 3 feet? That's so dumb!

I can transport more than 3 feet you know!
