Roughly 10 seconds into C-CLOWN's music video for the song "Shaking Heart," something unexpected happens: the track sounds original, like really original.

The hype man shout-outs that C-CLOWN rapper and bandleader Rome throws down the beginning of the track builds the expectation that this is going to be a hip hop track with original flavor (an increasing rarity in today's glossed over digital hip-hop).

At that moment, the listener is poised for an all-out dance floor banger, but the also the thrill of a new sonic discovery.

Then, the singing starts.

It's not that the three members of the six-piece C-CLOWN that sing (Siwoo, Ray and Kangjun, for those keeping score at home) aren't talented. They deliver the vocal acrobatics and tight choreography expected of any boy band, inside the group's native South Korea or anywhere else in the world.

But that's just it, when the vocal hook comes in, "Shaking Heart," becomes just another generic boy band song.

When Rome or the other two rappers in C-CLOWN, Maru and T.K. bust into their verses in "Shaking Heart" the same barely noticeable musical backdrop that the other band members were singing over suddenly becomes something much more interesting.

It's got the bump of a hip-hop track with a twist of melodicism that represents the best of the dizzyingly varied, but indescribably similar K-pop sound.

If there was a version of "Shaking Heart" without the singing, it is completely conceivable that some of Brooklyn or the Bronx's finest hip-hop DJs would drop it into their set as a lark--the words may be in Korean, but the angst and power they offer up in the track is pure party starting material.

If C-CLOWN releases an instrumental version of the track, it's not even hard to imagine "Shaking Heart" turning up as a backing beat in freestyle contests.

Just don't tell the crowd it's a Korean boy band song.

Even the subject matter of the trio's raps is interesting: men who admit women are controlling them whether in one way or another.

The rhymes in "Shaking Heart" offer an interesting take on the often-misogynist portrayal of women in hop-hop that would again be made all the more poignant without the singing.

All of which begs the question, why don't Rome, Maru and T.K. start a rap group?

Before C-CLOWN fans who like things just the way they are proceed with their ubiquitous freak out, consider this:

When uBEAT, the new sub-unit of K-Pop boy band U-KISS, made their international debut Mnet's M COUNTDOWN in Taiwan this week, it only brought more hype to U-KISS, widening their fan base.

If fans of C-CLOWN want to hear at least some of the members of their favorite boy band on American radio, they need to let Rome, Maru and T.K. put a rap album out.

How about cyCLONE as a possible band name?
