The remix of Girls’ Generation’s hit song “The Boys” featuring hip hop legend Snoop Dogg was recently played on the Boston radio station JAMN 94.5. The radio station is one of the biggest stations in the city and plays hip hop and hit music.
Clinton Sparks, who was one of the producers behind the remix, hosts a radio show on Saturdays from 6pm-9pm EST, and after the song was played, he said “That’s the track by Asia’s hottest girl group, Girls’ Generation featuring Snoop Dogg, produced by yours truly.”
The track is part of Girls’ Generation’s first worldwide release with the digital EP of “The Boys” that includes the original song and remixes by various producers and artists. The EP was released on December 20th, and can be purchased on iTunes.
Girls’ Generation started their US debut with the English version of “The Boys”, with lyrics co-written by Girls’ Generation’s own Tiffany. Following their takeover of Times Square at MTV studios after performing at Madison Square Garden for SM TOWN Live in New York, Girls’ Generation is making more and more progress in their US advancement.

OMG.. OMG.. They’re the real Girls’ Generation ^^
Very inspire
Troi oi, this is the first negative thing that I heard about these girls. I know that they are looking to expand their appeal to the American audience, but a collaboration of this sort goes against their image in, I believe, a bad way. I don’t know if they had anything to do with this event, or if it just happened due to the actions of a radio person. Either way, it’s not a good thing. Hope they try to steer clear of this sort of image-busting foolishness in the future. Still love the girls, but hate this development.
good for them :)
I wish them nothing but the best
But I didnt know that Tiffany helped wit the lyrics
i don’t like the ver w/ him…
Way to Go Girls’ Generation make the American go ” Oh!” what an amazing artist you are. SNSD Hwaiting
i never knew she is co-written the song.
seriously, i admire her too much now!
omg tiffany i never knew you co-written the song
I do not like this version of the song. Snoopy Dog destroyed it. His parts don’t even match the rest of the song. I think it’s awesome that they played Girl’s Generation on the radio in America tho!! Way to go!! <3
They should collaborate with other American artists who are a lot better if they are doing it to get a hold in America more so. An artist that can actually sing and is famous enough. Also down to earth :P
Oh, it great, that our girls gain popularity, but I hope that it won’t make them more ‘american’…
Thank you Mr. Sparks for featuring Soshi music on your show, nice that you helping them get recognize in U.S. Good going with producing the remix too. I really hope our girls can get huge exposure and success in the U.S. 2012. I know it’s one of their dream to do songs in English and meet their International fans and wanting to do world tour. I’m expecting success for Soshi in the U.S. but they aren’t because they know how tough it is to break in the U.S. industry. I’ll pray hard for their success outside of Asia too, good luck angels and have a bless year. Kamsahamnida SSF :)
NICEEEEEEEEEE wow the girls really are making waves every where ^^ totally amazing ^^ it really IS a SO NYUH SHI DAE as they have proved :) soshi fighting! wishing for another year full of awesomeness with the girls!

Oh, this is awesome. Hopefully they’ll play the Boys often.
2012 will be another Girls’ Generation’s year.
Happy New Year to SOSHI and SONEs!!!
OMGGGG!! I might start listening to the radio now in case I actually hear SNSD on there! :D
The girls’ are taking over! ^^
Way to go Massachusetts! Bringing Soshi to the USA!
Let’s hope this trend continues! Even if the DJ is being
a little self-centered, he is accidentally being kind promoting
the girls. LOL! Let’s keep it going!!!
GO..GO..GO.. GIRLS ^^
This is awesome! I was wondering when we would get our first report of airplay. With Interscope behind the Girls in the US, I’m surprised it took this long before someone reported the song on the radio.
2011 was amazing, 2012 should be epic! Happy New Year everyone!
Did not know tiff cowrote the song. These girls are truly talented
Yep, she wrote the rap part for the english version.
If you notice she mentions both songs “gee” and “oh” in it.
Yes, she talked about sneaking the song titles in during the new English language rap section. Clever girl. ;-)
A REVOLUTION IS BEGINNING~
o.o the boys was written by fany?
That is so awesome that it played on the radio! I hope that it will continue to play all around the US on the radio!!
One of the most ‘cereal’ things I ever experienced. To go from watch YT videos to listening to the songs on my iTunes, now I can hear their song on my favorite radio station in my car. I teared up when I heard the song I was so happy, 2012 is going to be a huge year for us. Proud to be a Sone living in Girls’ Generation.
2012 be good to our Girls!!!!
Love Soshi!!!
Of course it plays on my least favorite station in the city….
OOOOOMMMMMGGGGGGG!!!!!
I really like this song. especially the dance that was very nice. snsd hopefully more creations more and more good songs to be heard. when SNSD came to Indonesia? I am very fond of SNSD especially Yoona.
