Freakin' love this video/song
I took it as an LMFAO rip off until I was told he'd been around longer.

In the live performance he obviously has backup vocals on speaker but he sure gives a lot of energy into the pony dance, given his age.

There's a worthwhile write-up in The Atlantic today:Gangnam is a tony Seoul neighborhood, and Park's "Gangnam Style" video lampoons its self-importance and ostentatious wealth, with Psy playing a clownish caricature of a Gangnam man. That alone makes it practically operatic compared to most K-Pop.
[...] Park, who performs as Psy (short for psycho), is a relatively ancient 34, has been busted for marijuana and for avoiding the country's mandatory military service, and is not particularly good-looking. His first album got him fined for "inappropriate content" and the second was banned.

South Korea is a big girl's blouse, and the big girl is US-style consumerism.
I'm delighted by the video but I don't expect Park Jaesang will be spending much time in Korea for the next few years.

Ok, thats just plain entertaining. I can see this as being the next big thing in the US. I might be a little old to pony dance, but I think I would have had a better chance to pull it off than disco.
