I'm learning the dance for the sole purpose of embarrassing my daughter. I've been practicing for a week.

The Oregon duck parody and the dude with his mom dancing are pretty good.

The girl on the subway is Kim Hyuna, she has quite a few pop videos on youtube.

I recommend keeping the sound off for this version.

I think it's a catchy tune but he's merely a walking stereotype. He represents what people expect to see of an Oriental (remember William Hung?). Japanese pop is much better, imo. Still, anything is better than current American pop music, so I wish him much success.

Also worth noting, a Japanese singer topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. This is clearly more impressive since he didn't have the internet as a medium to spread his song.

Finished learning it last night .. do it everytime I win a game with friends as a celebration. The only tricky part was the hand on the hip leg side lift deal.

Deadpool costume. Must. Have. For. Fun. Times.

Seriously, anybody know where I can get one or know a pretty easy way to make one? All the ones I find are on sites that don't look trustworthy. Or eBay.

PSY is the opposite of a walking stereotype. K-pop is youth obsessed, focused on style and thinness and production, and he is a mid-thirties chubby guy. That's why he got popular there, because he's the opposite of Girls Generation. Even the song itself is a critique/satire of Gangnam style, which is that upper class perfection that permeates their culture.

Why the song caught on in the US I don't know, but that's the novelty of him there. Bucking the stereotype.
