Psy’s “Gangnam Style” is YouTube’s latest sensation and now the Korean rapper is making the U.S. media rounds—appearing on the MTV Video Music Awards, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show, and Saturday Night Live. As of press time, the “Gangnam Style” video had over 188 million views, making it the most watched K-pop video in YouTube history.

The music video features a tuxe-wearing Psy doing his funky horse-riding dance to an incredibly catchy beat in a number of upscale locales. As Psy explained on The Ellen Degeneres Show, one of the themes of the video, and Korean Gangnam district for which it’s named, is “dress classy, dance cheesy.” The Gangnam district is an affluent and trendy area of Seoul, which Psy compared to Beverly Hills.

“Gangnam Style” was released on July 15, became a hit in Korea, and has now become a worldwide sensation. According to the LA Times, “Essentially, the song is about finding the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild.” It is the first K-pop song to hit #1 on iTunes.

    Just goes to prove with a simple no brainier, three quarter mythic beat, choreographed synched dance, with speed video...You can turn out any kind of trash, and be a "hit".
    ...There's 4 minutes and 13 seconds of wasted time, I will never see again!
    Good Nite!

    It was funny back in July when I first saw it on YouTube, but like all fads once the media gets a hold of it, it becomes overplayed.

    Oh well, it was funny as hell while it was fresh.

    Oh, my god, I can't get enough of the video or its parodies. I'm not usually one to jump onto a bandwagon in regards to trends, but damn it, I was obsessed the first time I watched it.

    Yeah its ok, my youngest loves it and I hear it constantly, so i doubt it will be long before i get sick of hearing it.. as most will if played too much. Remember Billy Ray Cirus, and his Achey Breaky Heart? a lot liked it , until it was bashed out to often. But for now Gangnam Style is ok.

    Because I can look it up. Plus, it's not from here so i doubt that it would be in a country line dance -_- By the way don't try to use my age against me, it shows that you have nothing better to say.
  • clasact Cheerios 2012/09/18 07:48:39
    clasact
    Then you should just look it up beofre you tell people something they know for a fact and it is repeat of something that was around in the late 70 s and 80s.Oh and If you dont want people to use your age against you then know what your talking about before you contrdict someone who has been there
