"GANGNAM STYLE" deserves its own thread

i mean...i'm sure YouTube is as excited about having their first video with 2 billion views as the guy who made the video is.

i wonder if after 2,000,000,000 views he's made $20 from YouTube

There was a New Yorker piece from when it was still under a billion views that estimated that they'd taken in about $1.7 million.

(specifically from youtube, that is)

I worked over 60 hours this week, okay

Snoop Lion ft. PSY - Hangover

haha, i like that song because it is the absolute last kind of music i would want to listen to with a hangover

also them miming being hungover makes it kinda look like they're totally irritated at each other, which is a nice change from the usual thing in team-up songs where it's supposed to be all OH SHIT these two PARTY TITANS are hangin together having the most awesome time. Them ending up at an underpopulated karaoke room and then going skipping down to the carnival is legitimately cute too. How the hell is this five minutes long though?

I knooooow, the song's not bad at all (Snoop >>> PSY tho) but it really didn't need to be 5 minutes long... save that for the club remix.

so many thinkpieces to write

Start/end with the thinkpiece about how there are two brands of alcohol in the video and PSY endorses both of them

There's a weird backlash against this song here because it kinda sounds like this local hit from last year. Apart from the chorus, I don't really hear it but whatever, have some Malaysian rap:

Loving that track way more than the mess that is Hangover. Thanks for the link, Roz!

I just played "Gentlemen" six times in a row. I love this song.

Yeah, I've really come around on it as a charmer in its own right, not just a cash-in follow up. We like / we we we like party every day!

Fun single, especially compared to Daddy (https://youtu.be/FrG4TEcSuRg) which we should never speak of again

It reminds me of this home shopping network jingle from 2010 tho: https://youtu.be/bhWJXIGb8ao

I like this one, though it can't help remind me a lot of Rip Slyme:

Meanwhile, the actual 2nd album track (better but not MV material I guess):

remember the four or five days when everyone on the internet (except for koreans) thought "gangnam style" was some kind of incisive satire of consumer capitalism?

?...no.

I forgot that he yells at a butt

it's very important to remember that.
