When any artist, K-pop or otherwise evokes the name of the greatest band in history, whether they realize it or not, they're setting the bar pretty high among Western pop music fans.

But the BeatBurger remix of the GI (Global Icon) song "Beatles," released Tuesday along with the band's single version of the song, is a sonically-adventurous reinvention of the K-pop track that sounds as if electronic genius Aphex Twin was collaborating with pop diva Britney Spears, in Korean of course.

GI (Global Icon)'s first music video, which unfortunately was made for the more typical-sounding single version of "Beatles" instead of the remix, is an homage to the hip hop culture of the 1980s, complete with chain link fences (ubiquitous in all 1980s rap videos) and matching sparkly MC Hammer pants.

The cinematography in the video goes to darker places than most K-pop directors are willing to go.

At one point in the "Beatles" video one of the girls in GI (Global Icon) menacingly wields a sledgehammer.

Visually, GI (Global Icon)  pays tribute to hip hop's early and fearless MCs, like LL Cool J and Big Daddy Kane, musically the music has more in common with recent artists like Kanye West and Jay-Z.

Yet BeatBurger's remix finds a way to represent both the old and the new.

The way the beat is cuts up in the remix of "Beatles" is most reminiscent of Aphex Twin's 1999 masterpiece "Window Licker."

But the breakdown in the second section of the reimagined song is all Britney Spears, particularly the star's newer, raunchier material like "Toxic" and "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)."

GI (Global Icon) has been receiving considerable buzz in the K-pop community lately, but their music is in danger of being overshadowed in the slightly overbearing marketing attempt to label them a gender-bending band.

If the group is able to back up their tough tomboy personas by taking K-pop to edgier places there is considerable potential for them to reach new audiences.

Some international pop music fans, accustomed to the boundaries of decency being pushed daily by stars like Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga, have criticized K-pop as being too sterilized and safe.

GI (Global Icon) band members Hayeon, OneKet, Eunji, AI and Aram claim they will be the ones to change all that. Let's hope they are up for the challenge.

"We're going to be different from the cute and sexy girl groups that come out almost once every week with our music and style," read a statement Tuesday from GI (Global Icon)'s record label Simtong Entertainment. "You can look forward to them."

Hiring Beatburger to produce their next track would be a good start.
