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

I felt kinda bad for picking up on that, but as long as I'm not the only one. :biggrin:

Although, I did notice that the gonorrhea was much more prevalent in the live performance than in the music video.

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.

It's not hard to understand why Gangnam got as popular as it did, catchy song, funny music video, and a funny dance made it take off.

This song isn't as catchy, the music video tries too hard, and the dance isn't great.

Unreal, it's now at 32 million views. It'll go more viral once the press release articles next week.

yeah to be fair it was pretty funny when I first saw it. it had all the qualities to become viral, and once it goes viral it takes on a life of its own.

this one though will still gather a lot of views cuz after the gangnam style, how can you not want to check this out?

This new song is already in the top ten list of several countries in iTunes and it's only out for a day.

Song is starting to get some media attention, only time before it goes crazy again. My kids already heard it a few times and that crap spreads like wildfire with the grade school kids.

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.

Mal-ee-ya (Mah-ree-ya): 'That's what I'm saying!'.

Not quite 'literally'. Crappy translation.

Gangman Style was really fun to dance to no matter where you were. They played it at a restaurant and people were dancing. They'd play it at a dead bar and people would start dancing. Was great.

This new song will probably have the same appeal.

I was skeptical, but I actually don't mind the Gentleman song. The video isn't so great though.

The PSY - Single Ladies live performance is great though. :)

I enjoyed it. Not really a substantial departure from Gangnam Style and won't catch on as much, but still amusing.

Basically Gangnam Style with a different video and different lyrics but the dude's dances crack me up every time.
