Stray Kids "CASE 143" M/V Song & Vocal Analysis

Knox Hill does a really good breakdown of the mv and picks up a heap of film references such as The Shining https://youtu.be/QebRHPjnOL8?si=KdcUpceFQVMPhpHr

This is my all time favourite Stray Kids song. I often see it voted lower, but it's just so interesting to my ears. Love to see you enjoying it to!

Adlibs such as those high pitched yells and sounds are often the product of Han. Ive always held case 143 were Han’s. There’s a few video compilation videos that go through all of Han’s sounds lol 🤣

Thanks for the reaction!!! I agree with Sava, when you passed on the music video I absolutely gasped. Ha. I think this is definitely a fun song! No meeting, no Reactions!

I allways liked how silly this song feels and I was excited for you to get to this one because it has such a diffrent feel to it then alot of their other title tracks

Thanks for the reaction! The hallway floor at the beginning of the M/V is a reference to the hallway floor in the movie "The Shining", it's kinda cool.

It’s funny how you mention how it feels weird to see Felix with black hair. He recently said it felt weird even to him to see himself in black hair so he coloured it back to blonde again quite quickly. I don’t even want to think about the health of the poor hair but I still find it funny :)

Oh I forgot to mention - I don't know for sure on this song but Bang Chan does a LOT of the weird background noises in their songs in general. This might be him, he does a high-pitched yell like that sometimes, but it's hard for me to tell with the effects on it. It sounds a LOT like Han to me, personally. That's who I'd bet money on. Sometimes they'll show in the behind-the-scenes for recording where you can see better who does what, I can't remember if there is one for this album.

Oh man Tim when you said you weren't going to watch the music video I was going to lose it 😂This one is so fun! With the references to the Shining, and the silly transition screens and the fourth wall breaking I just couldn't bear it if you skipped this one. I'm glad you had time! I think you kind of picked up on it but yes the song is kind of about love being something that they don't understand and need to investigate/solve, like a crime that's been committed. And then of course 143 = I love you, the number of the letters in each word. Stray Kids have a lot of numbers related to their songs, their "lore". 143, 0801, 325, etc. This is also the first time they did an album themed around love, even if they did it in their own edgy way.

Allways a good day when we get more Straykids 🫰🏻

Now I really cant wait for you to hear 'The Tortoise and the Hare' if them beeing experimential gets you this excited😆😂

143 = I (1) Love (4) You (3)😆
