Oh dear. Or wow?

MrMeatAndPotato · 15-09-2012, 02:57

You've got to laugh... just when you thought the industry couldn't become even more of an embarrassment aswell.

It really has hit a new low

3 $pirit · 15-09-2012, 04:42

I really hope this is a one off and this song only has limited success as i've heard K-Pop and its frankly terrible tbh.

Biffo the Bear · 15-09-2012, 06:40

I despise this collection of sounds.

Every time I hear it, I want to break something.

Jonesy88 · 15-09-2012, 07:11

How did this become popular?

AdzPower · 15-09-2012, 08:42

Yay go Psy! I think its great that a foreign song is doing so well.
It introduces other types of music into the charts, and thats a good thing!

getty · 15-09-2012, 09:59

I do laugh out loud at the video though.

spindiddly · 15-09-2012, 10:29

It's utter garbage.

Salv* · 15-09-2012, 11:30

I love it. K pop is the way to go.

Great to see a different style of music and different language doing well worldwide.

Now everyone... do your dance moves.

Smudged · 15-09-2012, 11:38

I don't get it. Is it supposed to be funny?

Nope. It's just a feel good song which celebs are starting to get into. Britney Spears being one person that has learnt the moves. It's a new invention of different music. The first K pop song to proper break through to the mainstream.

There have been numerous flashmobs across the world in the last 2 weeks.

Oh right, it does seem like a kind of tongue-in-cheek novelty song with the cheesy music, the video and the dance moves. It's not for me anyway.

It doesn't sound very different to me just sounds like our dance music but worse and in a foreign language.

elasticlove · 15-09-2012, 16:25

I really cannot stand the song.

bizzle · 15-09-2012, 16:28

Haha I love this song. It's a good bit of fun. BUT if it doesn't move out of the way for Christina on Monday I will not be happy.

Kanzi · 15-09-2012, 16:31

The guy opens the video sitting with legs akimbo on a deck chair with a young boy next to him.

All opinions are invalid.

Rooftopcowboy · 15-09-2012, 18:18

Really don't get the appeal of this, its not even catchy!

rbautz · 15-09-2012, 18:36

This is only the beginning, here he slayed Beyonce and Gaga

kochspostulates · 16-09-2012, 15:12

I prefer the male version to the female version. Her voice is too squeaky

There's some really good K Pop out there. This isn't the best example

but still.

2NE1 recently sold out an LA theatre faster than Nicki Minaj and grossed more money. They have the best chance of crossing over IMO.

Chris_Walton · 16-09-2012, 17:37

i can't tell you how amazed i am to see this song doing so well. and here i was thinking that gangnam style would only do well in YouTune hits...

...but it could actually chart in the UK? Wow

It's charted at #37 for the week that's just passed.

shackfan · 16-09-2012, 19:05

Yeah, really setting the charts alight

kochspostulates · 16-09-2012, 20:10

Considering its in a foreign language which most of us do not know and that there are not that many Korean people in the UK, its done really well.
