i'm kind of hoping/assuming that this is partly because it is huge here AND in the east, i get teh warm fuzzies thinking about so many humans united in this awesomeness nice show of unity from the usually boisterous homo sapiens

i havent heard the song in it's entirety, tried watching the vid once but only got about a minute it, i found it irritating.

i guess it's like the youtube generation's version of the macarena.

[Saponara_Immobile]

yeah i'm responsible for half a view, wanted to see what all the fuss was about but couldn't bear more than 2 minutes worth.

First time I heard this I thought what is this absolute ****! Is it the Albanian Eurovision entry?
Then I saw the video a while later and I'd already seen loads of people doing the jockey dance before watching it. I was hooked!

have to admit, it grew on me too. guy's got it going on

[Duke of Prunes]

I still haven't heard it. Go me!

[Mr_Bean]

it's a great song. What's funny are the parodies:

[-Simon-]

I like that the most popular thing in the world ever is taking the piss out of materialism.(it is a piss-take, right?)

[Tetsuaiga]

I think most people just see it as a fun song. As for it being a nice global thing, Korea is meant to be one of the most racist countries on earth.

yeah i have heard him described as a political satirist believe it or not. my korean is slightly rusty though so this should be considered second hand at best

This is my favourite parody

Gone are the days of the interesting or funny novelty song. This just sounds like a song that would have missed the charts in about 1997 - and the video isn't amusing either. I don't hate it, I just find it all boring and unoriginal and haven't got a clue what the fuss is all about.

Plus I'm in a bad mood.

this is the only gangnam parody that matters. and it matters more than gangnam style itself

I don't see how it's fair that some v good artist hardly get any spotlight and don't earn millions like popstars in which most of them don't sound as true artists as some underground ones.

I love that song, well I do watch korean tv all the time, it's awesome. The Koreans are awesome people. My social anxiety has been slowly disappearing after watching Korea. ***49912;***51060; ***50724;***48736; ***49324;***46993;***54644;***50836;^^
