Gangnam Style- Funny, Sexy, and Deep.

Gangnam style is so hot, it has become Youtube "Most Liked" video, no small feat considering that PSY is virtually unknown outside Korea before this video, and the music is not in english, a main language used by many internet users.

I love it because the music is catchy, the dance is funny, and there is a deep meaning behind the lyrics, a fact lost on most of us.

PSY is actually using Gangnam style to poke fun at the how the korean society has become more materialistic and shallow in the past few years, with credit card debt rising and more conspicuous consumption....

Below is an interesting article on it....

My Dear Korea has a meaningful article on it

Just like that, PSY is making fun of people that are so vain and materialistic; but at the same time, he's making a mockery of where he's really from, that is, Gangnam. It's like he's shouting, "Look at me! I'm a true Gangnamese but don't I look really tacky and pathetic?" Had he been good-looking, haughty and snobbish, who knows, the song might have not been well-received.


Of course, my favourite Gangnam video, the one featuring Hyuna singing.
Pikachu voice is sexy. =D
