My knowledge of Korean folk music is thin, really thin (um the album Record of Changes by Samulnori) and the only place I hear much of it in "Gangnam Style" is the syncopated "Op....Op...Op..Op.Oppa GS".

If "Korean folk music" means trot, then that sounds like Central European folk music to me. And in that case:

as smart and about his business as the guy seems, it's surprising to see him just now months after the song peaked say something like "in America I need a new single because 'Gangnam Style' got too popular, so I've got to write a new single." maybe you should've been working on one for a while if you want any chance of having 2 hits here, dude!

I don't see it. "Gangam Style" is a novelty hit. Hell, it embodies the very idea of novelty hit.

Psy is a huge star in his home country pregangnam tho

cant he just pay StarGate $100k to write him something? I dunno this stuff always confuses me; for example why Michael Jackson was so shit on the tail end of his career despite having access to literally any songwriter he wanted

Watching Beyonce, I was struck by how closely linked her hits are to the attendant dances and poses from the videos (right down to the "good morning, Charlie" line in "Independent Woman," a movie tie-in reference that surely has long outlived its purpose). So basically, if Psy can come up with another memorable dance, he'll have another hit.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 15:58 (eleven years ago) link
Or another memorable butt to yell at.
― mbvgz (how's life), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 16:02 (eleven years ago) link
I was talking US, by the by. Psy's career in South Korea is a completely other thing.
Note that Chubby Checker was able to a singular dance into a couple, if not several, hits. Not sure GS can enjoy that kind of success.

the kidzbop version of this song has all of the korean rapping but changes "hey sexy lady" to "hey, hey lady" which gives it a kinda jerry lewis feel. i like to think about them drilling all the obnoxious kidzbop kid singers in rapping in korean.
