Wonder Girls, the Korean version of the Pussycat Dolls has been around since 2007. Their hit single “Nobody” which was released in the autumn of 2008 sparked not just a dance craze but also an internet sensation.

There are a lot of videos out there in YouTube showing what people had done with Nobody. Due to a weekend filled with nothing but Nobody, I created this post to show how the song has affected the internet.
I know this is already old news for some of you but still I want a single point of reference of all worthy Nobody videos and music.

First, watch the original MTV here. Just head straight to the 2-minute mark.

Seen it? Ok let’s get started!

Cebu Inmates

Our very own Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) inmates or who are more widely known as Cebu Inmates did this song on their monthly presentation last March.

Wonder Gays

Then if you can’t get enough of more gay dancing Nobody, here are some gay Thai students.

Why are gays amusing to watch? At least my wife find them amusing. I’m just amused at my wife finding them amusing to watch.

Nobody at Work

Here’s another Thai fan dancing Nobody at the office. I admit that he can really dance but a bit of video editing to make the framerate much faster made it look cooler.

If you look at it closely though, more editing was done to this video because all guys in it are the same. Clever!

Wonder Robots

This time, it’s the robots. The robots are doing the robot to the tune of Nobody. Hahaha. Students from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea created this vid.

Nobody English Version

Due to its utter popularity all over the world, the song needed an English version. After starting their Myspace Music account, Wonder Girls did release the English version just last June in the U.S.

Nobody English Ballad Version

Did you know that somebody did a cover for the English version of Nobody before Wonder Girls were able to release theirs last June?

Late last year, Wonder Girls made a ballad version of Nobody. At that time, a popular YouTube musician (JeAnnEhriel) by the name of who’s known for doing English covers of popular Korean songs released her ballad version of the song.

Here’s the lyrics of the English Ballad version from JeAnnEhriel:

Chorus:

I want nobody, nobody but you
I want nobody, nobody but you
I want no one else but you
Can’t have anyone but you
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

Why are you trying to push me away?
you know that I hate it, you ignore what im saying
Why are you trying to send me to other?
You push me away like a little each day why?

Saying that this is for my own good
Saying that you are just not worth it
Please, stop it right now coz’ you know me enough that i will come back to you no matter what!

Repeat Chorus

All the pushing won’t change my feelings
I am happy to have you,
more than willing to please you
I’m begging you please don’t walk away from me Coz’ i can’t be happy away from your side

Saying that this is for my own good
Saying that you are just not worth it
Please, stop it right now coz’ you know me enough that i will come back to you no matter what!

Repeat Chorus

I don’t want nobody, body
I don’t want nobody, body
Life is unperfect without seeing you
I cannot have anyone but you… ahhh

Rap:
I just want yah to stop baby,
don’t tell me to let go of your hand,
without you i would really fall apart.
baby listen when i say you’re the one that i needed,
I can never see myself with anyone but yah.
you’re idea of pushing me to other men, no way, it’ll never gonna work on me! you know i’ll wait for yah,
I will wait for yah until the sun refuse to shine
I dont want nobody nobody nobody nobody but you
