The pun is mightier than - well, anyway...
Here's a complicated little knot of wordplay. In two languages.
G-Dragon's latest single is called "Crayon". The refrain is "Get your cray on". So first you need to know that "cray" is slang for "crazy"; he's singing about partying.
G-Dragon's stage name is itself a piece of wordplay: his real name is 권지용 Kwon Ji-yong, and 용 Yong is Korean for dragon. Geddit?
The lyrics of the song are a mix of Korean and English, not at all unusual in Kpop. When I looked them up, though, I was puzzled by the Korean version of the title: 크레용. That doesn't spell out "crayon", it spells out "crayong".
And then I got it. Cray Yong. *facepalm*
