Ithaka's "So Get Up" in Jun Ji-Hyun Samsung Commerical

Source:IMDB

In 1999, after starring in her first feature film at the age of eighteen (the little-watched White Valentine), Korean actress Jun Ji-Hyun was still largely unknown.

But according to most media sources, she suddenly became an extremely high-profile public sensation later that same year when she appeared in this hugely popular commercial for Samsung My Jet Printers (DNA series) shown energetically dancing to a remix of the iconic 1993 song, "So Get Up", by Ithaka (aka Californian songwriter, vocalist and contemporary artist, Ithaka Darin Pappas).

The commercial was made by CJ E&M Pictures in Seoul, South Korean for approximately $1,900,000 dollars. And incorporated an internationally recognized choreographer as well as an experienced troop of background dancers to compliment Jun Ji-Hyun.
The version of the song So Get Up featured in the campaign, called the Get Up! Go Insane! Remix, was made by UK producers Stretch & Vern, who in 1996 brought Ithaka to England to re-record his 1993 classic for their own interpretation of the tune. The final result restructured the vocal hook differently from the original, but the overall lyrical message was the same, So get up...and live life to the fullest !
This anthem of defiance and celebration was exuberantly communicated by Jun Ji-Hyun hyper-kinetically dancing with supreme confidence to Ithaka's shouts of "Get Up! Go Insane!". And the mass repetitive primetime exposures of the ad sky-rocketed Jun Ji-Hyun from being a relatively unknown actress to becoming a cultural youth-icon for all of South Korea and beyond (and eventually one of Korea's biggest film and television stars). Not to mention the fact, that overall, the campaign helped to sell more than eight-million Samsung printers. The Samsung My Jet commercial won four national and international awards for Best Commercial for its year of release (1999).

Ji-Kyun has since gone on to star in Sassy Girl (one of the biggest films in Korean history), You Who Came from the Stars, and The Legend of the Blue Sea series. She has won several national and international awards for her acting ability.
Ithaka's "So Get Up" has gone on to become The Most Remixed Acapella in musical history as recognized by the Guinness World Book of Records. As of 2016, there were more than eleven-hundred released remixes.

Ithaka Darin Pappas - O 'Americano Feio' ? (PÚBLICO) So Get Up

PÚBLICO - Suplemento Pop-Rock (Quinta-feira 10 Abril 1996)

excerto do artigo, O Americano Feio? por Jorge Dias 

O greco-americano Ithaka Darin Pappas participou em "So Get Up" dos USL e assinou o album, "Flowers And The Color Of Paint". Estão certamente entre os projectos mais fortes da música de dança feita em Portugal nos anos 90s. Entretanto, Ithaka viajou pelos Estados Unidos e o seu nome ficou um pouco esquecido. Até agora quando regressa a Lisboa para pôr em causa as sua antigas ligações.

Pappas "versus" USL-Kaos

Ithaka Darin Pappas passou alguns meses em Los Angeles, cidade de onde é natural e onde fez algums contactos para conseguir um "manager" e um advogado. "Fui aos Estados Unidos porque havia uma séria de problemas a resolver aqui. Um deles foi que fiz un disco em 1994 com os Underground Sound of Lisbon [USL] e, quando o gravámos, foi uma coisa entre amigos, estavamos a fazer arte em conjunto e foi uma coisa boa. Fiz um acordo verbal com eles segundo o qual receberia 25 mil escudos (approx. 120 €) por mil discos que fossem lançados em Portugal. Nunca se falou de contratos nem de distribuição no estangeiro."

Desde então, "So Get Up" – que era originalmente o lado B do maxi que tería por tema principal "Dance With Me" – fez furor nos Estados Unidos, para onde o disco foi enviado, transformando os USL, de que fazem parte Rua da Silva (Doctor J) e Tó Pereira (DJ Vibe), no projecto de "dance music" nacional mais aclamado a nivel internacional.

"O tema entrou para as 'charts' e foi lançado em muitos paises, mas eles não reconheceram a minha participação. Apesar de muitas das remisturas que foram feitas – principalmente as de Danny Tenaglia e Junior Vasquez, as mais populares- practicamente só reterem as minhas palavras e a minha voz. Nessa ponto é questionável quem é realmente o artista. É o Ithaka? Ou são os USL? Quando se 'descartaa a musica original e faz outra é questionável. É que não sou membro dos USL….?", diz Ithaka. E acrescento: "Pode perguntar-se a quem se quiser, nos Estados Unidos ou em Portugal, o que é que indentifica a canção: são as palavras. Neste tipo de música, que há numeras versões diferentes, a etiqueta são as palavras. A canção é o poema."

Dai que Ithaka reclame direitos de interpretação – "royalties", uma vez que os direitos de autor lhe pertencem por direito – sobre os lucros com "So Get Up". É que o poema a que Ithaka dá voz no "intro" do tema tinha sido escrito seis meses antes de ser convidado para juntar-se aos USL, depois de estes o terem ouvido numa emissão do programa Quatro Bairro, da Rádio Comerical. Segundo António Cunha, da Kaos, editora dos USL – e depois de o PÚBLICO ter marcada uma entrevista com Rui da Silva que acabou por não acontecer-, "o que passa é a vlha história de negócio da música: quando as coisas têm sucesso há sempre alguema tentar aproveitar-se".

ithaka "ESCAPE FROM THE CITY OF ANGELS" (featuring Marta Dias) from The Replacement Killers soundtrack - wth lyrics.

lyrics / voice: ithaka
chorus voices: marta dias

bass: francisco rebelo
trumpet: nuno reis

produced by: pedro passos & joe fossard

Escape From The City Of Angels
was recorded at Namouche Studios
located in Lisbon, Portugal in 1995
and originally appeared on
Ithaka's debut album
Flowers And The Color Of Paint.

The album was nominated for
three Blitz Awards (the Portuguese
equivalent of the Grammy) in the
categories of: Best Album,
Best New Project and Best Male Vocalist.

And in an end-of-decade retrospective
of national music, the prestigious
newspaper Publico considered
Flowers And The Color Of Paint
to be one of the ten most influential
'Portuguese' albums of the 1990's.

In 1997,
acclaimed Hollywood director
Antoine Fuqua
used the song in the soundtrack
for his feature film
The Replacment Killers
[released by Columbia Pictures]
starring;
Mira Sorvino (academy award winner)
Chow Yun-fat (academy award nominee)
and several other known actors such as
Clifton Collins Jr. and Michael Rooker.

Because of difficulties in obtaining rights to
some of the other songs appearing in The
Replacement Killers, there was not an official
soundtrack release for the film.

The original pressing of
Flowers And The Color Of Paint
by Movieplay Records was only 1500 copies.
Ironically, despite the song's obvious cult
status with literally millions of illegal
downloads around the globe, the label
has never made a second issue of the album.

All licensing inquiries for
"Escape From The City Of Angels" by Ithaka
should be directed to Scion Four Music (NYC).
