Oppa Gangnam Style
"Gangnam Style" is in these days something like part of our lives. Every time I switch on some of the music channels, I hear that song. It hits number one in every country. This song is mind blowing. I can definitely confirm that. Let's look closer.
Gangnam Style is a song by South Korean artist PSY. It was released in July 2012. On YouTube it is the second viewed video ever!

When I hear this song for the first time my reaction was "Seriously? You must be kidding me!" But then I found out how popular it is in the world. I asked myself why. Even my 8 years old sister told me that it is her favorite song!
Now let's have a look
What are you saying? Very catchy, isn't it?
But I was very curious what is that really mean. So I found lyrics. Basically it is about a man singing about some girl. He sang how quiet she is in the daylight and how she changes at night. How shocking! Actually I also want to explain the phrases which were used.
- Gangnam = wealthy and posh district in Seoul, Korea. It was used like metaphor for women - noble during the day and crazy at the night
- Oppa = means something like older brother
In that fact is it really alright that this video watch kids?
Anyway, I can't deny that this video is really catchy and absolutely fit to party time. It could be really fun dancing these easy moves with friends.
Here I have links of famous people dancing Gangnam Style dance.
Britney Spears:
UK X Factor Finalists 2012:
And it reminded me that even in the Czech Republic this steps were danced. Let's have a quick look.
And of course it has a lot of parodies. If you want to find some, go to YouTube.
In conclussion I want to add a number to prove that this song is real hit. When I started to write this article it had under the 745,000,000 views on YouTube. Now I am ending and it has 746,302,759 views. Quite a lot, isn't it?
I have one simple question. Are you supporter or hater of this single? If you want add something, leave a comment.
I'll be back soon.

Very catchy and very popular song these days. Someone could probably mark this video as one of those "Viral videos" we can find on the internet. I can't say I love it but I also can't say that I hate it. I like the fact that I don't understand it (except the "eeey sexy lady" part.)
OdpovědětVymazatI was thinking about how much fun it could be to dance it in bigger group :D..
What I also like are parodies on this song, you can very easily make your own.
Anyway, I think that this song is better than Bibeber's "Baby" videos, which, I think, is part of the most viewed videos on YT too.
Great idea for the article!:)
I admire you for your sense of humor, because either this song or video is so funny. But I think it isn´t only funny but I suppose that it could show and maybe brings to the attention of the district Gangnam. How many people do you think had known Gangnam before the song and video appeared? Definitely not so many as now.
OdpovědětVymazatGangnam style is truly not my cup of tee. I don´t find it funny, and I think that is quite stupid. But nothing against you, Mary. It´s only my own opinion.
