This ain't no rag it's a flagAnd we don't wear it on our headsIt's a symbol of the land where the good guys liveAre you listening to what I saidYou're a coward and a foolAnd you broke all of the rulesAnd you wounded our American pride
And now we're coming with a gunAnd we know you're gonna runBut you can't find no place to hideWe're gonna hunt you down like a mad dog houndMake you pay for the lives you stoleWe're all through talking and a messing aroundAnd now it's time to rock and roll

I'd love it so much if this was the translation of the chorus of Gangnam Style.

Even in composition, "Gangnam Style" is a dance-floor number rooted in traditional Korean rhythms, a reason for its initial success at home, Kim says. "It's a folk song," he explains, "A perfect line and pattern. Koreans, a lot of times, scratch their heads: 'Why was that one song not so popular over there, when it's so big here? Or vice versa?' This, though, when it first came out in early summer, was already viral."
Traditional Korean rhythms, there you go.

The brief period when this was fun is going to be forgotten by the time it's slipped into its infinitely longer lifespan of middle-aged regional sales managers doing the horsey dance at office Christmas parties. For ever. While stamping on a human face.

The death of a father-of-three who collapsed while dancing to Gangnam Style has prompted a warning to middle-aged men not to attempt the vigorous dance from the hit video.
Eamonn Kilbride, 46, collapsed with chest pains at his office party in Blackburn last weekend after performing the dance moves made famous by the South Korean rapper Psy, who mimics riding a horse.

And here's Ask a Korean on PSY/Gangnam Style:
PSY -- born Park Jae-sang -- debuted in 2000, which was a major inflection point in Korean pop music history. Prior to late 1990s, popular musicians of Korea could be divided largely into two categories: the entertainers and the artists. The entertainers were no better than singing clowns, driven to put on a good show to earn the public's adulation and another day's living. The artists were concerned with the quality and message of their music, endeavoring to create something new and meaningful. The two groups of people did not have much in common, and overlapped only infrequently. (When they did overlap, they are remembered as legends of Korean pop music. Shin Joong-hyeon was both an opening act at a USO show and pioneering rock musician. Seo Taiji was both a leader of a boy band and introducer of hiphop to Korea.)
But one thing did tie the groups together -- they were both serious people. The threat of poverty and hunger endowed the entertainers with a hardened edge, even if that edge would only be visible off the stage. It was the typical gravity of purpose that drove the artists into seriousness. Much of this was a function of the times they lived in Korea. There is nothing terribly fun about poverty, sweatshops, dictator rule and constant Red Scare -- the conditions that plagued Korea until late 1980s. It was not just Korean artists who were serious; all of Korea was serious.
It is too much to call these artists joyless -- surely, they must have felt deep-seated satisfaction derived from their life's work. But still, they were serious; more often than not, they didn't seem to be having fun. As Korea became wealthier and freer, that began to change. And PSY was one of the first Korean pop musician to lead the charge.

i was in a terrible mood and trying to fix my malfunctioning printer tray when the HR guy came in to my office w/ a camera rolling all "ok give us your best gangnam style!!!" and i was like no thanks thats cool until after more prodding i waved my arms in the air once or twice (still holding a broken paper tray).
this is going to be edited in to a video to be played at the holiday party on tuesday i think, at which all of the hotel's top managers will do a gangnam style flash mob which they have been rehearsing for weeks with a hired choreographer.

Meanwhile, my 50-something Puerto Rican coworker told me about a surprise she planned for a family member's birthday party. She donned a silver wig and did the Gangnam Style dance while someone (I forget who, another family member) comedy freaked her from behind.

Slightlý proud that I have still never seen this thing. I have heard bits of it and, horrifyingly, have seen parts of people trying to do the dance, but I have left the room or switched the device off asap in every case.

gangnam style is fun even without quotation marks and there is zero inherent racism in the song that I'm aware of. The video's kinda fun but its joys are far secondary to that of the song itself... anyways i suppose we've done this a dozen times already.
