Korean Bodega - Fun Lovin’ Criminals

“Korean Bodega” that’s about the store around my corner, Bodega is kind of a slang word for store and Korean is a guy who owns a store, so it’s a Korean Bodaga. He’s a nice guy. I owed him 2 dollars and he said write a song about it and I’ll let you off, so I did. So I’m clear.

I would so love someone to write me a song for a couple of dollars! I reckon I’d pay more if it was as good as this one is!

From the album 100% Columbian and the band that bought you Scoobie Snacks, another Korean Bodega is gonna make you feel good. Lets not get too hung up on the lyric. It’s not going to change your life or anything!

The Fun Lovin’ Criminals are 3 guys from New York. Formed in 1993, the band released their second album 100% Columbian in 1998. Hip hop, rock, funk, blues, jazz and mafioso rap (according to the great Wiki) influences can be found in their music. 100% Columbian also contains the fab ode to Barry White - Love Unlimited.

Barry white, saved my life
And if barry white, saved your life
Or got you back with your ex-wife
Sing barry white, barry white, it's alright

Here’s a band that doesn’t take themselves or their lyric too seriously.

So much so that I found it impossible to find a clip of the studio version of Korean Bodega without them doing a comedy skit over the top of it. I hope you get it anyway! It’s got the coolest beat…
