TWICE - LIKE OOH AHH

Pass by once and look back (TWICE)

Wherever I go, I go without makeup

And I still shine the most

Flat shoes can’t hide my high value

SONG OF THE DAY (10.31.22): TWICE - Like Ooh-Ahh (2015)

[Apple Music/iTunes] [Spotify] [YouTube Music]

[bookishjules]

ever since they decided riptide was gonna be the promo song for the show, i've seen a lot of takes--it's ridiculous, it's campy, it's 2012 fan-made mv vibes, it's eerie, it's fun, it's stupid, it's perfect--but what it seems like everyone agrees on, is that the only real connection to percy jackson is the title also being the name of his beloved sword. i'm not saying that connection isn't enough by itself.. but i do think we could go a little deeper hehe so let's break down these lyrics, shall we? <3

**Riptide by Vance Joy Through the Lens of Percy Jackson**

I was scared of dentists and the dark

beautiful intro line to get us in the headspace of the literal child that is 12yo percy jackson.. maybe he was scared of dentists, who knows? but the point is that these are the kind of fears that a parent might be there to hold a child's hand through, and percy never had anyone but sally to do that. this line prepares us for just how strong of an impact the loss of her will be.

I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations

this is percy "stands in the corner playing basketball at the school dance" jackson. it's him losing his words when he notices how pretty annabeth is, but it's also an indication of his placement in the social hierarchy of his peers up until this point.

Oh, all my friends are turning green

green with jealousy because he has all the power of a child of the big 3? because he gets granted a quest on like day fucking one at camp? because he's a naturally talented sword-fighter to rival luke? .. or green because he's finally seeing the world as it is through his god-given green eyes? or green like kelp and algae and the tint of the sea as he befriends creatures in his father's domain?

You're the magician's assistant in their dream

i think if you see luke as the magician, with his tricks and lies, you could easily attribute this line to annabeth--i mean he did want her with him in his backwards dreams. he also saw her following him in dreams of the past, and saw her in the dream conjured by the river styx. but!! i think this line could also refer well to luke himself, where the magician is kronos.

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ahh-ah-ah And they come unstuck

(gonna be real.. i've never known what to make of this line oops)

Lady, running down to the riptide

first, i think of percy running straight for the riptide as a representation of how accepting he's a demigod and a child of poseidon also pulls him in deep into this narrative that has been constructed around him, both in regard to zeus's bolt and also the great prophecy as a whole. but, i think this could also be addressing annabeth, rushing toward percy (water, riptide, etc. you get the picture) and counting on him to take her away from the shore (camp). another option here, if we stick with luke as the person being addressed, is his being called and swept up by the seething rage and indignation that spirals him away from the calmer tides and into the hands of kronos, which....

Taken away to the dark side

yeah, this could very easily be referring to kronos. we can also use it for percy and annabeth both when thinking about the quest that took them to the underworld, which is quite literally the dark side. i also think it could refer to the darker side of the life of a demigod.. by percy stepping up to accept his identity, his eyes are opened to the monsters and manipulative gods and backstabbing (literally) friends and the vague promise of his own death.

I wanna be your left-hand man

oh hello zoo transport oreo sharing "bc you're my friend" scene hehehe also if we switch perspectives this does work well for luke for obvious reasons

I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

okay stay with me now.. sally pov to percy. like he's up on that metaphorical stage all alone and doing his best and he's gonna fail sometimes but he's singing his own song, the song he was always meant to sing *cries*. another option of this is annabeth looking at percy, who almost always gets the words wrong, but it's so enduring--seaweed brain (affectionate). we also have the potential for annabeth to be looking at luke and saying this, only his wrong words were the path he chose, and the lump in her throat is the pain of watching him betray her trust again and again. along those lines, i think there's also an argument here for the percy @ annabeth pov that i would be inclined to associate with this song... because he loves her and the hope and the trust she carries with her, but he sees the way those beautiful traits of hers make it difficult to see luke for the monster that he's become--right tune, wrong words.

There's this movie that I think you'll like This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City This cowboy's running from himself And she's been living on the highest shelf

a movie percy would think annabeth would like perhaps? annabeth ran away from home and wound up in new york. before that, she had been basically cast aside to collect cobwebs by her parents. when we meet her at the beginning too, she's very much been set on the highest shelf in the way that she's been set aside despite so desperately wanting a quest. but there's also the case that the movie being referred to here is about luke, who ends up running from himself in the sense that he chooses to stand opposite both his father and the family he created for himself after heading to new york. in that case, there's also the possible attribution of the object living on the highest shelf to thalia, whose tree luke would have looked at every day as a reminder of his cause, but who would have been unable to say anything herself, stuck collecting dust, so to say.

I just wanna, I just wanna know If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay I just gotta, I just gotta know I can't have it, I can't have it any other way

okay talk about percabeth coding.. percy's "annabeth don't" when he thought she was gonna join the hunters. annabeth freaking out after he came back from ogygia. percy printing the picture she sent becuase he couldn't trust that it (she, chb, etc.) was real. "you're not getting away from me, never again." etc. etc. etc. (please feel free to continue spiraling in this vein as i know i will). it's also giving luke and his manipulation tactics tho ngl..

I swear she's destined for the screen Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

we (percy) support our queen (annabeth). i could get lost in the percabeth of this all, but i also think it's important to go back to a previous pov we mentioned.. sally's as she watches percy go off on his own. and if the she in question is percy from sally's pov, it's his success that she sees, his happy ending, the one she's been willing upon him from day one. there's also the potential of this line to be about sally from percy's pov. he loves his mom and he's proud of her, and he'll do anything to bring her back from the underworld so that she can live the life she deserves.

**

so yeah, ig in conclusion, there's more meaning here than meets the eye :) but also that won't stop me from thinking about my favorite pen sword every time that word is sung <3

More 'Best Debut Song' polls

The MVs

[eeunwoo]

if your fave isn’t here please look for the other parts on my blog (they were posted together!)

please vote the music video aesthetically NOT the song.

[villainesses]

my most recent reblog reminded me of how much i bawled while watching the free mv, so: a list of music videos that have made me cry

free, florence + the machine

galileo, indigo girls

i bet you think about me, taylor swift (truly her best music video, blake lively you are the ONLY ts music video director i ever respected)

just another girl, the killers

what is love, twice

like ooh ahh, twice (because baby twice and they make me smile so wide and i can't believe they did all that in their very first mv)

[pttwice]

a bit more of a personal question, who's ur fav member and era of twice?

man chimp out here asking the hard questions.

this is like asking me who my favorite child is if i had kids.

but.

my favorite member is jeongyeon. ever since like ooh-ahh she has been my favorite. i remember watching the mv when they debuted and all i could focus on was her and her coconut hair at the time.

she just seems like such a sweet person and a genuine person as well.

my favorite era???

the story begins will always have a special place in my heart since twice is what really got me into kpop when i was a kid. the first group i listened to was f(x) but twice sealed the deal.

i don't think i can pick favorite era so i'll go top 3!

formula of love - literally never skip any songs on this album

taste of love - baby blue love is in a top 3 spot for their songs

signal - this mini album got me through so much in high school

[jinstronaut]

I lovvvvve your Jin a day series ahh I miss him!! if you go in a certain order of gifs by time period then please feel free to ignore this but ooh if you're open to doing one soon that has Jin from the astronaut MV, I miss that Jin so muchhh!! if not no worries at all, thank you so much for your hard work on this!!!

hi!!!! tysm nonnie this is so sweet of you :'))) i actually started this series with some astronaut gifs !!!! here's a link where you can see them all in chronological order uwu i hope you like them !

[dahyun]

what are some of your favorite debuts and why? also, what do you like to see in a debut (a clear concept, minis vs singles, line distribution vs highlighting certain members, showing off vocals vs more mellow songs, etc etc)

ITNW - snsd: its just an amazing song, the choreo is powerful, and it has a lot of sentimental value for longtime fans like me lol

Q&A - cherry bullet: i love the futuristic video game concept they had and the song fit with it so well. not 2 mention its an absolute banger

free somebody - luna: everything about this is just flawless. the choreo, the aesthetic, her vocals, the overall album, everything was on point

like ooh-ahh - twice: there's a lot of things i love about this one! the song, the choreo & dance break, the MV, the overall styling, etc. i think they did a good job of showing each members personality and role in the group, especially with the teasers. it was fun and a lil quirky and i love that. however i do have a couple gripes with this one but this is getting too long so i'll answer separately if anyone asks lol

chase me - dreamcatcher: their redebut and concept change was a good decision imo!!! the horror concept is always interesting to me and the song was sooo goood

tag me - weeekly: when i saw this i was soooo happy bc it had been a long time since i've seen a group come out with such an energetic and cute song like this one. the performance is so entertaining to watch, soeun's dance break, monday's vocals, etc. its so fun!!!

honorable mentions: bon bon chocolat - everglow / pepe - clc / to heart - fromis_9 / la vie en rose - iz*one / so bad - stayc

edit: I FORGOT TO ANSWER THE REST!!!!!!!! what i like to see in a debut is just a good song with a really good highlight part, whether that be in the vocals or the choreo or something. i also like when you can get a feel for the members’ personalities or their role in the group just by watching the MV or seeing the performance. i always love a clear concept too!!

✦ how i got into them: i found them in the [redacted] tag. and then kept seeing their early tiktoks on my pinterest page, namely soobin running into the metal pole and taehyun in the mirror. i think i watched both of them at least 30 times, hence the first bias situation. also i saw a gen z idol comp and yeonjun dropped the pasta and i think i screm laughed for like 30 mins straight at that

✦ which member would be my best friend: hueningkai and i know this for several reasons: first and foremost bc im obsessed with him and he'd adore that , second that i would sew him any plush he wanted , third that i make a million jokes a minute and he loves laughing

✦ something i associate with them (or with a bias/any member): cowboy hats and crocs. alexa play be the cowboy by mitski , i associate hueningkai with plushies and hoodies and laughter and marshmallows and headphones and pretty green grass and the >3< kissy face , and i associate soobin with da da da da da da da da da da 🐬. taehyun with tdc magic and all magic and sour patch kids and (ofc) cheese tteokbokki and cats and math :(

twiceeeeee

✦ how i got into them: during what is love era !! one of my bestfriends at the time would do twice dances across the room in compsci from me and we'd watch their mvs together hehe

✦ which member would be my best friend: probably nayeon .. i think we'd have a time making hilarious jokes and bothering everyone...also i want to hold her hands

[grumpymacaron]

snsd & twice 💖

heyyyyyyy thanks for the ask B)))

do i already stan them?

yes | only for the music | attempting to | no for both!!!

snsd:

my bias + bias wrecker*

seohyun, OF COURSE + jessica (pre-departure, ofc...)

first time i heard of them

the first time ever was when i stumbled onto the oh! mv in second grade... i might've also seen girls' generation back then but i'm not quite sure ^^;

when i became a fan

i would say i became a SONE then and there cause i watched every big title track following gee; it was just casual until eighth grade tho, when i got serious with kpop in general~

favorite (and least favorite) title track

this is such a hard question LOL so imma fold and say my top three! this is in no order, and for a variety of reasons, but here they are:

hoot, the boys, and paparazzi!!!

in terms of least favorite title... i'd say flower power's pretty bad... FJDSKLFDSJALDFKS like i've tried to like it, but dare mo ga butterfly pooped a spider...

favorite (and least favorite) b-side

i think this counts as a b-side? but the great escape is honestly matched by none; i've listened to it SO MANY TIMES, it's like 9th on my top songs of the year fjdsklfdsjfkls

i also really really love europa and destiny~

i actually exclusively listened to snsd's title tracks until VERY recently, and i don't have anything i really dislike yet so ;;; imma cheat and skip on this one HAHA

favorite (and least favorite) mv

the impact of the boys cannot be understated... literally changed my life forever...

ngl i feel like they film shoujo shidai songs with the worst camera and color grading on earth so i really don't like most of them... the ones that come to mind first are mr. taxi and flower power (again, PFFT); it really wouldn't be like this if they didn't look so freakishly pale;;;

favorite (and least favorite) album

maybe this is cheating again but since i haven't listened to many non-title tracks, i'm skipping this!

a concept i wished they’d try*

i wish they had a chance to dip into some classic sm rnb... the world if snsd had a be natural by ses moment>>>>

what i like most about them*

they're just iconic. like there's nothing else i can add, really; they were, are, and will be my forever unnies, the girls i look up to and live in my heart forever 💖

twice:

my bias + bias wrecker*

despite my theme, i'm actually a hardcore mina stan~ my other faves are jeongyeon and tzuyu!

first time i heard of them

i found out about them right when sixteen finished and like ooh-ahh was released!!!

when i became a fan

that's also right when i became a ONCE! it's still crazy that i've followed them since debut… it's been almost eight years…

favorite (and least favorite) title track

this is easy; i ride and die for i can't stop me, and nothing will change this 😤

sorry to say for everyone who likes this song *cough cough* dalgonamilk *cough cough*, but i am a steadfast likey hater. the lyrics just piss me off, LMFAO! i only can listen to it when i'm in a certain mood.

favorite (and least favorite) b-side

that's a hard question... HAHAHA i actually went through all of their discography a while back, and collected every song i like here: 🍭

basics is my current fave ^^

and for least favorite b-sides... anything they released pre- fancy (excluding the ones in the playlist) were mid at best and actively offensive at worst FJDKALFDJSALFA

favorite (and least favorite) mv

i would've said smth different before the latest release but talk that talk is just SO GOOD. SO GOOD

if i had to choose a least favorite... i guess it'd be knock knock? but that isn't to say i like it or anything; i really love that song hehe

favorite (and least favorite) album

the fact ALL of formula of love: O+T=<3 and literally none of twicetagram/ merry & happy (outside of heart shaker) is in the playlist says enough if u ask me >:)

a concept i wished they’d try*

tbh i am very satisfied with the variety of concepts twice has tried! i can't say the general vibe isn't the same for most of their work, but they've broken out of that following breakthrough and feel special, methinks

i'm just curious as to what else they'll do next!

what i like most about them*

for a long time, i've kept up with them casually like i did with snsd; i only really got serious once i was lucky enough to see them in concert this year :,)

it was only after i looked through all their discography and saw them in person did it really hit that they've worked so hard to be where they are now; just the sheer amount of media they've produced over their career is enough to last a thousand lifetimes, but they're all just as committed to us, and each other, as always

i'm very inspired by their work ethic and how much they just love their job, and it makes me hope that i can find smth like that for me~

[bebecue]

Hi rika! I'm genuinely so sick rn but it finally gave me the time to put together some song recs! (Also little Mavis update: you and my oldest sister are on the same wavelength cause she recommended the name Mavis bc of the hotel Transylvania character(she wanted to name her Selena but we said it had to be spooky so she settled for Alex or Mavis since they were played/voiced by her) she's still small and cute but she's also a demon who keeps shredding my arm :/)

1. Song of the Wind by KINGDOM - the Ghibli vibes are SO STRONG in this song, I don't think I've heard a kingdom song I don't like so far so this being my absolute no contest top song from them kinda says something. It's such a beautiful song and I'm so excited for you to listen to it

2. Reborn by GHOST9 - this wasn't a recent thing I was actually obsessed with this song last year when she had it on her Halloween playlist but I only rediscovered it recently when we she was watching the performance video on the TV heh

3. BlockBuster by DKZ - I think this is gonna be really entertaining for you so I'm not gonna spoil anything I'll just say that their nickname of "guys who know how to have fun" (or something like that) really makes sense lol

Bonus 4(&5 cause I have no self control)! Bewitched by PIXY - I LOVE a horror concept and pixy always eats it up, this is my favorite of theirs(my mum's too lol) there's only an mv for the eng version though, just so you know

Zombie by PURPLE KISS - another thing I love, a typically spooky concept made just SO FUN, I can't go I week without listening to her (ooh-ahh mv vibes, and another one of my mum's favorites haha)

Ily rika, sorry it's so long this time but I mean,,, it's been in the making for awhile heheh. think of me whilst I recover from the plague 😷 ~ bugunon

BUGUNONNNNN hi!!! aww no, what!!! you know when you sent this, i was sick with a sinus infection too, but it sounds like you have it much worse... and aaah your sister and i were on the same wavelength!! and mavis was an excellent choice, i'm glad you guys settled for it hehe and omg she turned you into a living scratch pole...

Song of the Wind by KINGDOM - OMG listennnn i heard the opening notes and i felt like i was transported into howl's moving castle. i love kingdom's concept, they've managed to release songs that are consistent with it so far, and there's a unique and refreshing take with each release

Reborn by GHOST9 - the opening literally took my breath away, i looove the dubstep elements, not many artists can integrate it well with pop-like vocals, but this song is incredible!!! this is going on my treadmill playlist hehe

BlockBuster by DKZ - i dont wanna spoil it either for anyone who wants to check it out, BUT THE SAMPLE AAAA i was like "hmmmm the opening sounds familiar" and then i kept watching and the prechorus started and i almost SCREAMED this is so good and fun, i'm almost mad i didnt know about this song before you recommended it

Bewitched by PIXY - my jaw literally DROPPED in the transition from the prechorus to the chorus, these girls know how to do a spooky concept omg.. i wish i had better headphones to listen to this because i know the bass would be killer

Zombie by PURPLE KISS - yes omg we love a fun spooky concept, but i'm gonna admit i already know zombie hehe it went viral here when it first came out because they used a logo from a local supermarket for art for one of the window decals.. the hook is SO Addicting, i'm gonna add this to my playlist again for spooky season hehe

i love how we stuck with sorta a halloween theme here omg bugunon these were so fun to listen to!!! i hope you're recovering well and getting a lot of rest, the plague does not sound fun

[minisugakoobies]

Hi Sunny! I was in NYC and left the morning that they put up JK’s CK billboard 😑 anyhoo, I really did love the domesticity of him folding his underwear ☺️ And don’t get me started on Mr. Min in the new MV in his white shirt and on the cover of Marie Claire 😳 and Joonie at that Nike dinner 🫠 I could go on…it’s been a year since I saw Bangtan in Vegas so I miss them extra! Loved your SKZ fic, reread Kinkmas Day 7, & new Paradise, thank u! Really felt for JK but OC got it bad too! -Namgi anon 🥰

Hey Namgi anon! How are you surviving all this D-Day content right now??? Did you see the Suga & Agust D interview? That was like a fanfic come to life 🤣 I’m not going to survive whatever photoshoot those Marie Claire covers are from!

Ooh, you were so close to the billboard! Guess you’ll just have to go back? And the domesticity of JK… so soft and sweet, even while showing off his underwear 😵‍💫 Sometimes I can’t believe he’s real 😂
