"GANGNAM STYLE" deserves its own thread

Because he was deeply unwell

He could still be amazing on his old material though; watch "This Is It" sometime and prepare to be shocked/amazed

frogbs you have a p lazy understanding of how pop works

thank god for GIS tho

i do, tell me how i'm wrong

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.

Or another memorable butt to yell at.

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.

"Let's Horsedance Yet Again"

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.

i'd imagine Weird Al is getting pretty nervous right now

Horsedance Like We Did Last Summer.

it's a humorous night for a horsedance

Yeah, there's got to be some sort of Weird Al law. Like, the closer pop music comes to an actual Weird Al parody, the closer we are too armageddon. Like the Doomsday Clock.

what I mean is, pretty much every parody that could exist of this song is on Youtube already, so he's going to have to mine that space even further. maybe even turn it into a song about getting lots of Youtube views. or, maybe about eating food.

You mean, like turn it into a song about eating pistachios?

Next level would be Weird Al turning Gangnam Style into a food parody in Korean

Crap:

Fuck it, someone else can fix it.

I think Weird Al's just going to leave this song alone like he did with the Macarena.

does "Gangnam Style" still deserve its own thread?

Just checked out the wiki on this for the first time:

Comedian/television personality, Noh Hongchul, who does his trademark pelvis-thrusting dance in an elevator while PSY raps underneath him

Trademark pelvis-thrusting dance? Answers a lot of questions while raising several more.

90 seconds of the follow-up single "Gentleman"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_NtjY7ypRg

not gonna go over very big i suspect

oh dear

Is he saying "motherfather"?

PSY should have learned from Lou Bega. Never follow up a big global smash hit with something called "Gentleman":

Despite easy nods to GS I will say this video is pretty funny, again. There's a story and not just 'crazy' moves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASO_zypdnsQ

The heroine of the story is a member of the girl group who actually launched this dance, actually: http://youtu.be/ofwFr8o8p0Y

-actually

it's definitely better than the lou bega song

xxp

Yes, it's Ga-In, who released this wonderful solo track last year:

(the actual song starts at 2:06)

i'm in to this

LOL @ that video hell yes this is funny. IRL LOLZ when dude makes the student smell his fart. Also i want that golden suit.

i love the hi-hats on this

this was probably the best move he could've made post-GS but i still don't see it getting much radio airplay or anything

(best wrt worldwide success)

Haha he totally butter-cupped her.

i feel like he could have played the hype wave better by going underground for a year or two first? idk

Tough to say really, but prob not a bad idea to strike while the iron is hot.

video is fun. song isn't as unstoppable, but what would be?

this song and video are like identical

i saw the video a few hours ago but have already forgotten almost everything about it

identical to wat? one another?
