Psy's new song and music video are up! PSY- GENTLEMAN

[Centauri]

I dig it.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Some K-Pop is fine, although I usually go more for J-Pop.

Hyori Lee :wub:

Shrug. This song/video may end up being popular in South Korea, but it won't catch on here in the US.

 

[OlafSicky]

He's a one hit wonder

The song is designed for the Asian market, if it has any success in the US then that's a bonus.

Here's the first live performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bQrbunVuka8

I like the song better live - you get to see all the dance moves. K-Pop songs also always have fan chants added to allow for greater audience participation.

The K-Pop artist will usually release the song, then MV, then hit the weekly Korean music show circuit (Music Core, Music Bank, Inkigayo, etc...) and peform live stages. (Similar to the old Solid Gold, American Bandstand, Club MTV, Soul Train, etc...) So, each song also needs stage choreography. The artists/idols compete against each other (via digital sales I think?) and a winner is announced at the end of each show.

What does it mean to be a "mother father gentleman"?

What does it mean to be a "mother father gentleman"?

Probably a nice way of saying 'motherfvcking'.

 

[lk2500]

Here is why Psy said the dance move would be familiar to Koreans and why Ga In is in the MV:

it's a wonder that gangnam style got as popular as it did. i mean it's not bad, but also not that good. the internet just has this tendency to randomly amplify certain phenomenon, like memes. kind of like an avalanche powered by the collective boredom of the internet.

Ahh that's what I assumed people would think he was saying! Heh

 

[Jeffg010]

Already 4.2 million. I see off topic is hating on this video so it will be popular.

 

[MontyAC]

I see this going to at least 1 billion views, #2 most views on YouTube.

 

[pontifex]

G girl is damn hot...

this sounds like a slightly different version of gangnam style.

 

[Leros]

What does it mean to be a "mother father gentleman"?

I think it's supposed to mean "mother-father gentleman". As in, he's a gentleman that you can bring home to meet your parents. I think the fact that it sounds like "motherfucking" is probably just a bonus.

 

[Fenixgoon]

for some reason, the live performance version is wayyyy better than the music video. either that, or i'm officially hooked

:awe::awe::awe:

Gangnam Style 2.

 

[SAWYER]

Is there not an appreciation for quality music in the Asian countries or is it all this pop junk?

Yes, in all of the Asian world all they have is pop music.

Sheesh.....

 

[ViviTheMage]

There's so much better kpop stuff then this!

 

[Fenixgoon]

There's so much better kpop stuff then this!

i know only the most popular/western stuff (gangnam style, dr feel good, etc)

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

BoA, Hyori Lee, FinKL?

lol

In that version the crowd sounds like they're chanting "GONORRHEA!" which apparently means "literally"

Anyway, the original video is still funny. I can keep the thing on mute and still laugh at psy being a dick. His facial expressions are pretty entertaining. People are too uptight round here.
