You know in Christmas Express when the children grow up and they can't hear the bell anymore because they don't believe in Christmas?

The grown-ups are you people, and the bell is gangnam style. And Christmas is fun.

They really need to do a mashup of this, putting on the ritz and the macarena all into one. Then line them all up and do death by firing squad while they play it.

just not every ****ing day

There's more than one version of it and not all of them are as annoying. Have you listened to the female version by chance? By hyung?

there're some Malaysian parodies of it I find funny

funniest one I heard so far is Hitler's speech from Der Untergang set to it

Just recently heard the KPop term. Reminds me of some 80s music.

and yes, the PSY vids I have seen are awesome to watch

My brother played Gangnam for her. She got scared and freaked out. Had literally no idea it was in Korean until near the end of the vid I showed her.

Some dude at my church played the song after worship. Haha. This girl freaked out. Called it offensive. Keep that stuff out of the church. Said it was distasteful.

Honestly, I think it's genius. It shows the iGeneration will bop to anything and everything if it is promoted. Everyone seems to think it's cool because everyone else thinks its cool.

I think it's like Steven Colbert. People act like he's wayyy edgier/funnier than he is because everyone else thinks he's funny. Guy is an a-hole, just like Gangnam.

I saw a really cool parody made near the Rose Bowl. Cool because I live near it.

I wish I could explain my mom's reaction. Personally insulted that it was Korean. She thinks everything Korean is good. Now she is pretty traumatized. Has to rethink everything.

My first impression is that you aren't a very intelligent person.

Gangnam Style makes me sad.
No, not because it has touching lyrics. No, not because it has melodic musicianship.
IT FLIPPING SUCKS. Why can't people at least have a listen to some good music? The Strokes? Dashboard Confessional? Elvis Costello?
Gangnam Style is popular and overplayed even though there's nothing good about it. People listen to music that is popular, music that everyone else listen to, but how do bad music even get popular in the first place?
