It may not feature a silly horsey dance, but PSY’s new single “Gentleman” will have fans imitating his new move: pelvis thrusting.
With the beat sounding a bit like “Gangnam Style”, the South Korean superstar’s new song doesn’t take itself seriously. As the video shows a very ironic turn of events, it shows PSY performing some “un-gentlemanly” tasks like speeding up a woman’s treadmill and causing a ruckus everywhere he goes.
This song is slowly creeping up on me. I think with a couple more listens in, I’ll be obsessed.
What do you think?
P.S . Be sure to check out appearances by the yellow-outfitted guy from the “Gangnam Style” video!
Watch this baby, who is fast asleep, wake up to the sound of her favourite song on the radio. Way too cute, we can’t even handle it. As if the baby isn’t great enough, watch her old sister react. If anyone is laughing harder than we are, it’s the big sister. Priceless.
Move over PSY. There’s a new catchy song that’s about to hit the airwaves…NOT.
Unlike PSY’s amazing “Gangnam Style”, a Pakistani artist living in Britain by the name of Muhammad Shahid Nazir is vying to become the next viral hit with his song “One Pound Fish.”
This song is actually so bad, it’s catchy. I would say that it’s on par with Nicole Westbrook’s “It’s Thanksgiving” and Rebecca Black’s “Friday.”
With 2012 coming close to and end, it’s safe to say that this year has been both incredible and sad. Although we are surrounded by tragic and heartbreaking news each day, people like Jean-Louis Nguyen are quick to point out that there are other things we can celebrate. Nguyen has compiled a video called “2012: What Brought Us Together” to show the ways we have been brought closer together, especially through the power of the Internet. The emotional video covers a wide range of topics including the Olympics, Grumpy Cat, the Spice Girls, and of course, Gangnam Style.
The most amazing part of the video is that while is talks specifically of events and phenomenons in 2012, it says something of every year past and present. Whatever happens to us humans, we are almost always never going through it alone (even though it can sometimes feel that way.)
This is how you play cool during a match of mixed martial arts.
1. Bow your head down until the right time comes.
2. Surprise them with Gangnam Style.
You’re welcome.
Students at Taylor University have a very unique tradition. Every year, Trojan sports fans sit in complete silence — only motioning by waving their arms — until Taylor scores its tenth point of the game. Then the fans go batsh*t CRAZY, screaming, shouting and dancing to “Gangnam Style.”

YouTube sensation Psy is being haunted by an anti-American song called “Dear American” he performed at a protest in 2004.
According to The Hollywood Reporter he sang:
“Kill those f—ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those f—ing Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully.”
The 2004 concert was against the killing of Kim Sun-il, a South Korean missionary who was beheaded in Iraq by militants. South Korea planned to send 3000 troops to support the US war in Iraq, despite warnings from an Islamist group. After South Korea refused to back down, Kim’s execution was videotaped and the executioner said: ”Korean citizens, you were warned, your hands were the ones who killed him … your soldiers are here not for the sake of the Iraqis, but for cursed Americans.”
Below is the song Psy performed with N.E.X.T., a South Korean metal band.
Psy apologized for the lyrics in a statement to MTV News: ”While it’s important we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. In my music I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. I have learned that though music, our universal language we can all come together as a culture of humanity and I hope that you will accept my apology.”
What do you think of his apology?
Listen to the song here:
If Buddy from Deck The Halls really wanted to pull one over on his frigid neighbour Steve, he should have added dubstep music to his Christmas light display. As if the flashing lights on this house aren’t enough to make you seize up in joy, the dubstep music adds a whole other dimension of ear-pounding fun. I bet his neighbour’s LOVE him!
The house is in Meridian Idaho and is synchronized with dubstep and other Christmas songs. Skrillex fans should fast forward to the two minute mark. While I loved the “Gangnam Style” lights, these lights definitely win.

As the Glee graduates reunited at McKinley, the New Directions prepared to take down the Warblers at sectionals.
Here’s what I learned on the last episode of Glee, “Thanksgiving”
Home for the Holidays – Sectionals are finally here and some familiar faces have returned to help the New Directions win for the fourth consecutive year. Quinn, Santana, Mike, Mercedes and Puckerman 1.0 were all paired with the newbies to mentor them, and with the Warblers breathing down their necks, the glee kids needed all the help they could get.
Glee loves “Gagnam Style” – Puckerman 2.0 and Marley are officially dating, and after Ryder gives them his blessing, Jake agrees to let him have the dance lead in their gleeked out version of “Gagnam Style.” Even with his help Ryder claims he can’t master the steps, and gives Jake (a trained dancer — who knew?) the lead role. Something tells me this change of heart is less about dancing and more about — you guessed it — Marley.
Rachel’s an Orphan on Thanksgiving – Rachel isn’t Brody’s biggest fan following his fling with Cassandra July, but after deciding not to head home for the holidays, she invites him to her and Kurt’s Thanksgiving party. The two are in the kitchen together and it’s obvious that the heat from their last kitchen conundrum hasn’t been forgotten. As much as I love a man in the kitchen, I think Brody should go back to the showers. Or any area that requires him to take off his shirt.

Bill O’Reilly, aka no one’s favourite TV host, needed to bring in a psychologist to drop some truth bombs about the meaning behind Psy’s ”Gangnam Style.” After all, it’s the most watched music video on YouTube, even surpassing The Biebs, which apparently means it has to have some deep meaning.
I can’t figure out who I feel more sorry for, good ol’ Bill for sounding less relevant than ever by calling Psy a “Little Fat Guy from Yongyang” or Dr. Keith Ablow, the psychologist who starts off his analysis by saying “Gangnam Style” has no recognizable words. Maybe the awareness that languages besides English exist isn’t necessary for psychologists, but NEWSFLASH, “Gangnam Style” has lots of words, they’re just in this other language called Korean.
The best part is Ablow’s brilliant conclusion that “Gangnam Style” is popular because “people don’t want any meaning.”

The boatload of Psy covers and parodies are finally dying down but it’s not over until the Russians put their zany touch on it. This version called “Gangnam ????-???!” by MaxSheal adds a Russian spin to the Korean pop song.
I don’t think it’ll go on my iPod anytime soon but if the occasion ever calls for a Russian/Korean pop mashup, I know where to go.

You know it’s a legit prediction when it was supposedly spoken the year the prophet was born. Sorry Internet, #nicetrythough.
This apocalyptic meme is making the rounds online, claiming the French apothecary and astrologer Nostradamus predicted that the calm morning, a dancing horse and nine zeroes would beckon the end of the world. If the quote was true, it would be so fitting. Psy is the horse trotter from “The Land of the Morning Calm” (Korea) and his YouTube video is nearing one billion views!
Some people believe Nostradamus predicted the 9/11 attacks, with this vague message:
“In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos,
while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb”,
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning”- Nostradamus 1654
Every year, Christmas lights draw a slew of people outdoors to walk around and admire their neighbours’ displays — but these lights, which are set to Psy’s “Gangnam Style” are downright hypnotizing.
The flashy display uses the roof, windows, trees and lawn — pretty much anything that can be wrapped with bulbs. Sure they’re nice now, until you’re the neighbour next door trying to get some sleep while people are raving outside your door. Still, they’re pretty dayam impressive.

One of the most memorable moments from last night’s American Music Awards was a “Gangnam Style” collaboration between Korean pop sensation Psy and MC Hammer at the end of the show.
The guys did Psy’s trademark horse trotting dance while wearing the iconic Harem pants. The performance was a huge surprise — Hammer came on half way through the song — but it makes TOTAL sense. Hammer also experienced rapid fame with his hit “U Can’t Touch This” in the 90s, so he probably understands the overwhelming fandom Psy’s experiencing.
The big winner at last night’s award show was Justin Bieber, who took home three awards, including artist of the year. He accepted the award on stage with his mom. ”I wanted to thank you for always believing in me,” Bieber said.

Psy got super nostalgic speaking at Oxford University last Wednesday, speaking about how he got his start in music. When he was 15 he saw video footage of Queen at Wembley Stadium singing “Bohemian Rhapsody” and was completely shocked at how it combined rock, opera and ballads. Upon graduating he went to the U.S for school and started making music… admittedly just to meet girls.
The “Gangnam Style” Korean singer made his speech to the 89-year-old Oxford Union Club at the university. He was mobbed by screaming fans when he arrived in Britain from France on Wednesday for his three day visit.
While we’re not sure how Psy relates to the debate society, his inspiring speech will surely motivate them to kick major ass. The best advice he gave? One of the things that sets him apart from his fellow artists is his humorous and accessible dance moves. While most artists implement complex choreography into their routines, people saw Psy’s dance moves and thought “Wow, I can do that!” He also wanted to keep his music and choreography humorous because the world was going through a tough time economically. ”I tried my best to be as ridiculous as possible,” he said.
I think he totally nailed it: People love his music because it makes them feel happy and they love his dance moves in because it feels interactive.

Having won four more years in the White House, I imagine this is how Barack Obama is celebrating.
But while we might never get to see that, the man in this video is probably as close as we’ll get to witnessing the president dancing along to Gangnam Style. Seriously, the resemblance here is uncanny!
The View needed to do a quick camera rehearsal before Psy’s “Gangnam Style” performance. Unfortunately the Korean popstar wasn’t around (duh, he was probably bugging Ryan Seacrest again) so they got the next best thing: Teddy Hahn. He filled in for Psy during the camera rehearsal with an impressive performance of the trademark dance.
I don’t think anyone was expecting him to take over the stage like he did, with such charisma. He should definitely earn a big bonus this year. In fact, I hope Psy sees this and brings him out on stage during his next big show.

You’ve know you’ve officially made it as an artist when the cast of Glee start covering your music. And for Korean superstar Psy, that is exactly what’s happening.
In a teaser video released for an upcoming episode of Glee, the clip shows actors Kevin McHale, Darren Criss and Jenna Ushkowitz treating fans with a clip of the cast rehearsing the ‘Gangnam Style’ dance. But as exciting this may seem for gleeks around the world, the cynic in me couldn’t help but wonder how it’s going to work.
While I’m sure the cast will get the dance covered, what about the lyrics?
With Criss and McHale struggling to come up with a suitable nickname for Glee’s cover of ‘Gangnam Style’ (‘Gleengham style?!’), I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried.
Since practically every academic institute has produced a parody of Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” it was about time MIT jumped on board. The only difference? Their version includes American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, logician, historian, political critic, and activist, NOAM CHOMSKY. It makes sense considering he’s a professor at MIT.
They also have an edge because they got their vocal choir, sailing club and quidditch team involved, meaning there’s tons of school spirit. The glee club breaks it down with a doo-wop relief near the middle.

Part of South Korea’s plan to destroy America, the “Gangnam Style” weaponized song works slowly but effectively. This roof party nearly collapsed into a parking garage as everyone danced along with Psy’s viral hit. If I was the person recording that video, I’d definitely get myself and my car out of there.
