If the first episode of season 2 of Squid Game gave us hope, this new burst of episodes is unfortunately not up to par for many spectators, us first and foremost. Despite everything, success is there for the Netflix phenomenon. Less than two weeks after its release, season 2 of Squid Game breaks records and achieves the best start with more than 68 million views in one week.
On social networks, two episodes in particular have Internet users talking. These are episodes 5 and 6, which offer the opportunity to discover a new ordeal. And to accompany the latter, there is a South Korean children’s nursery rhyme. If the music is (unbearably) heady, like It’s a small world” at Disneyland Paris, she makes French-speaking spectators laugh a lot, who are victims of an auditory hallucination.
What is the song for the little ride test in Squid Game?
We know Squid Game with its games for children and its deaths in case of failure. Thus, the little carousel test (or mingle) is particularly gloomy. While players are on a spinning platform, a children’s nursery rhyme sounds. When the music stops, the voice announces a number and the participants must gather together and lock themselves in a room. Otherwise…
In the original version as in the French version, the nursery rhyme is sung in Korean. But some French-speaking spectators were able to hear a sentence in French: “hello Congolese”. In reality, no French words are included in the song, it is a question of an auditory hallucination. The real sentence “Doong-geul-geh, Doong-geul-geh” could be translated as “Turn the carousel”. This does not prevent Internet users from having fun with this funny auditory hallucination on social networks. Others go even further and even hear “Your grandmother wants cheddar”.
The words of this children’s rhyme are, however, extremely simple. We can find out about them by watching the series in VOSTFR:
Spin the carousel
Clap!
Spin the carousel
Clap!
We form a big circle
And we all dance together
We clap our hands
Clap!
And we all sing in chorus
Clap!
The, the, the, the
We have fun while dancing
Ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding
We move forward hand in hand
Jumping and laughing
Ultimately, there is nothing very scary in the lyrics of this children’s song.
