I thought this was awesome enough for a thread to share with everyone. On the off chance you guys and gals haven't already heard/seen, Korean pop artist PSY released his single Gangnam Style back on July 15 and has quickly skyrocketed to fame. The single's music video has already obtained over 26 million hits on YouTube, while the song itself reached #1 in Korea's GAON charts, broke the top 50 Billboard in the US, and made the top 40 iTunes charts in multiple countries. Internet memes have already been derived from misinterpreted lyrics, giving birth to the likes of "open condom style" and "Gundam style". Why all the fuss over this song? Maybe it's better just to find out yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0&hd=1 Watch it... you won't be disappointed. Done? Your thoughts? I for one don't even know where to begin other than... I'm jealous. LMFAO should take some notes from this guy. I would also pay this man a large sum of money to learn how to dance like a retard while looking good doing it. Thank you Korea.  |

They're put to dance the most weirdest dances, but why are Korean girls so cute? ( don't answer, cause I know already why xD) Ehhh..... The song, along the dance is very interesting. Tried looking for misheard subs on YT just for the lulz, but didn't find any good ones. Still, it sounds good, despite the numerous ways the lyrics can be misheard...

koleare said: why are Korean girls so cute? Haha, I was pretty blown away by some of them too. spinecollect said: Gangnam Style = Horse Style? Gangnam Style is a slang Korean phrase that designates a luxurious lifestyle. It's origin comes the Gangnam district, which is a wealthy and trendy area. I guess in American slang, it can be equated to "swag" or a "YOLO" lifestyle. |

It's actually the same that "I'm sexy and I know it". Songs that everybody makes fun of, but likes it inside :>    |

Is it just me, or does this thing's getting more and more addictive, stupid and funny as long as you hit the replay button? xD Kitsu-nee said: I was reading quite an accurate review which said that the song makes fun of itself. It's quite different from the LMFAO style after all. It has more...It's actually the same that "I'm sexy and I know it". Songs that everybody makes fun of, but likes it inside :> Verdale said: xD"swag" |

The song is so upbeat you don't need to know Korean to listen to it and enjoy it. And the video is just absolutely amazing. Makes me feel happy just watching him having fun. :]  |

I seen this on G4's Attack of the Show when they were going around the net and after seeing it had to go and check out the whole video and have to say it is catchy and the dance seeing it was a good laugh.  |

Funny how this is his most popular work as it sounds very mainstream, and Hyuna is a slut |
