I'm not personally doing the dance, but it's one of the few memes I'm just not getting tired of.

SNL spoofed it recently. The guy who keeps hitting the button is Seth MacFarlane:


If that video doesn't work it's posted here: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/lids/1417085

The one that's really been getting stuck in my head is this mash-up someone did with PSY, 2NE1, and Big Bang. I downloaded the mp3 for it and dropped that shit on my iPod, so I've been walking and doing yardwork to it:


EDIT: Oh and..

Oh god, Grant Imahara just did his own lip-sync video to it.

It's now over.

Hey Cteno here's an article if you want to go deeper.

Gangnam Style Dissected

The SNL spoof is what turned me on to it. It was so funny I wanted to see what they were talking about. That was an AWESOME episode of SNL by the way. Seth Macfarland was hosting and in ALL the sketches.

Wow, that's one helluva read! Just looking at the video, I saw what most people did: a silly Korean guy dancing like a fool. Because I don't know Korean, I couldn't very well pull much more from that video. The first time a friend showed it to me, I did notice that it wasn't your typical recycled bubblegum crap that Koreon pop usually spews forth, so I knew it was more of a big deal.

I find the song somewhat catchy, I'll admit. I just don't understand why it became so viral. :shrug:

I want to try the dance, but I would probably hurt myself. Reading the article actually got me to watch the video... I've been avoiding it as just another stupid trend... but now I see it as something interesting.

... and it is rather catchy.

Anyone else weirded out when people pronounce "Gangnam Style" like how an American would read it? Like "Gang-nam," not "Gong-num."

Yeah, for some reason I felt irrationally annoyed with the SNL bit with how they were pronouncing it differently than how PSY does.

Oh well.
