Gangnam Style is a very popular video and it is over 200,000,000 clicks in Youtube. I watched it and found it fun. Although this man looks quite ordinary, but somewhat he creates a trend. I can see many similar videos which copy his style. I also watched the American Navy version of Gangnam Style and that's so cool. The Navy looks so handsome

As much as this video has been promoted on the television, I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of the world has seen it now. The music is quite catchy and upbeat. This guy has become famous almost overnight. This is probably his 15 minutes of fame. Probably won't be able to repeat.

Its more like 5 minutes to me. lols. I guess I'm an antique type of guy. I watch it also because of curiosity and to be honest I don't see the dance more interesting enough to make me think that it can get 300,000,000 viewers. I guess what add the fame is the promotion. I'm sure 90% of those who watch in youtube only watch this after it hit the news.

Hi youless, since it's a top popular video surely I had watched it. It's said that because of the video the share price of the Gangnam Style creator's father's company goes up high. People here also love the horse riding dance as well as the hot and energetic music. I learn this from seeing people dancing Gangnam Style in the parks and the badminton and basketball courts
Happy posting

Hello there Youless. I think I really like Gangnam Style. I heard about it for a month already before I had the time to watch its music video. I teach some Korean students and everytime I asked each of them about their favorite songs, they really told me about Gangnam Style by Psy. Then, every morning before, when our landlord's son cleaned the house, he kept on repeating the lines "Hey sexy lady. Op op op op op oppa Gangnam Style." That increased my curiosity about the said song. I think it has also become popular on TV because Vice Ganda, a very popular comedian here in the Philippines, dances it very well in one of our noon time shows. They also featured the song and video in different TV programs in different channels.
I was really curious about it so one Saturday, I decided to open my hand phone's Youtube and tried to find its official music video. I was really excited to see it. When I watched it, I was really satisfied and amazed. I liked the tune and the beat of the song. I was really smiling and even laughing while watching it because I think it was really funny. On the other hand, I was really impressed because it was my first time to see Psy and he was really good at dancing. He really danced so gracefully as if there's no more tomorrow. I also liked the way the other people in the video danced. They were all very good and energetic. In their movements, they seemed to be riding invisible horses.
I was also able to watch other Gangnam Style videos. My favorite was when Psy appear in The Ellen Show. Britney Spears was the guest in that show and she said she also wanted to learn how to dance the Gangnam Style. While talking about it, Ellen suddenly called Psy. Wow! He was really there with them. So, he was able to teach Britney and Ellen on how to do the horse dance. I think that video was really interesting. I also watched the other videos of the live performances of Psy while singing and dancing this greatest hit of his and I think they were really great. I was wondering if he also got tired of singing and dancing because he really gave his very best. It seemed that every part of his body moved while doing so. I really appreciated Psy, my students' favorite performer, because of his great impact in singing and dancing not only in Korea but also in different parts of the world. For me, he's really cool. I just like him and his Gangnam Style. Happy myLotting to you. :)

I watch it but the original one does not really look appealing to me. Yeah the moves is good but not great that I will going to expect that it can reach 300,000,000 hits in youtube.
If you ask me the American Navy school version is much better.

I watched it now. And it is 1 billion plus youtube viewers already. It's an amazing video. Eventhough, I don't understand most of the words, the beat and music keeps everyone in a party or any occasion alive. I bet it is the most requested song and dance numbers on Christmas parties. Just appreciate the goodness of music every race has to offer.

Anyways,, I dont even care what is his songs means I just loved it! ;)

Oh yeah the video really is something. It is a fun and funny take on a song. I think sometimes it is a cultural thing about just making certain types of videos that just tend to really attract an audience.
No matter what though once you make something the gets interest it can take off like crazy

Hi youless! Am I the only person in the world who is not impressed with this gangnam style? ha ha... I just found it weird but this video and dance steps are spreading very fast, not just in youtube but in tv shows as well. It is always featured and even celebrities would often caught on-cam doing the dance step and people, the fans, the viewers would laught it out! It is not just my style. I don't fancy it and I am not amused watching it. Well, again, its just me.

I happen to see it while we're at the supermarket as it is the video being played in their LCD TV displays. I find it a bit funny but don't really find it special I am sorry.
