'Assarabia' (ah-ssa-ra-bi-ah) is like an emotive Koreans say when you're feeling good or something great happens, similar to 'assa'. In 2003, a male group called Yukgaksoo released a song titled 'Assarabia' that incorporated 'Colombia' at the end as a rhyme.

1. [+155, -11] Assarabia colombia go peep peep after eating a chicken leg (lyrics to song mentioned above)

2. [+144, -8] I can already feel the amount of pressure he's under from the title alone

3. [+113, -16] The title sounds like he's trying too hard to be funny....... but trusting him anyway ㅠㅠ!!!!!!!

4. [+20, -1] Assarabia only has a fun meaning to Koreans.. to foreigners, it'll be just another meaningless Korean word they don't understand. It's not until they listen to an explanation that they'll care to learn what it means. If the song hits daebak, then foreigners might pick up on the word and start using it as their own. Either way, I'm supporting Psy for taking a chance most of us couldn't dream of in our life times.

5. [+18, -7] I think he's trying way too hard on this song... I don't think he tried this hard for Gangnam Style..

1. [+394, -4] I hope he doesn't tack 'colombia' at the end

2. [+364, -45] Personally, the title sounds like it'll be a failure.... I hope it does well.

3. [+296, -12] Of course it will be difficult to expect a hit track like Gangnam Style but I hope he still receives love

4. [+278, -5] Sounds like he was trying to find a Korean word that foreigners could pronounce easily... I bet the chorus or the climax is just a repetition of Assarabia~~ asarabia~~~

5. [+228, -2] I woke up one morning to find that my mom left me allowance, assarabia!

6. [+116, -27] Since foreigners pronounce Gangnam Style as 'kkundum style~' I bet they'll pronounce assarabia as assaviagra~
