About a week ago, I heard “Gangnam Style” by PSY on the radio. I was intrigued because I normally don’t hear Korean pop singers on 96.7 KissFM, the top 40s radio station. When I got home I looked for the music video and I was surprised at how many views it had already received (I clearly don’t have my finger to the pulse of popular music). The video currently has 236 million views. The song is fairly addicting. The interpretation of song was told to me as being about the Gangnam district in Seoul, which is known to be straitlaced during the day and party city at night. Apparently the video is so popular that rival gangs in Bangkok are now having dance offs using Gangnam Style and shooting at each other when the victor was disputed. Below is the video.

Here is the Hyuna version of the song. Hyuna is the girl lead and is singer in her own right.

I also found an awesome parody by a UT student organization.

Another parody.
