Gangnam Style!

[SOAR]

The song is characterized by its strongly addictive beats and lyrics, and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy.

Music Video Level: Korean

I'm in love.

But now I'm gonna have Gangnam Style stuck in my head all day. This is awesome!

[GodSquadMandrake]

How can something that feels so right be so wrong?

[SOAR]

So apparently Gangnam is an upper class part of Seoul, similar to Hollywood. The girls there tend to be prim and proper during the day, but wild child partiers at night. This song is displaying the fact that he is also a classy dude, but knows how to party as well, and he wants to get himself a Gangnam girl.

[Wilbur the pig]

Id like to see the equivalent in English. Or at least get the lyrics in English to read.

Why is he saying "Open condom style"?

[SOAR]

Id like to see the equivalent in English. Or at least get the lyrics in English to read.

Here ya go:

Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style

A girl who is warm and humanle during the day
A classy girl who know how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes
A girl with that kind of twist

I’m a guy
A guy who is as warm as you during the day
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down
A guy whose heart bursts when night comes
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style


Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all
A sensable girl like that

I’m a guy
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two

You know what I’m saying
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

Here ya go:

Kinda disappointed he isn't saying "open condom style".

[AKADriver]

Id like to see the equivalent in English. Or at least get the lyrics in English to read.

Why is he saying "Open condom style"?

Here's the full lyrics written phonetically, original Korean, and translated to English:
http://michelia94.wordpress.com/2012...-style-lyrics/

He's saying "oppan Gangnam style" which means roughly "this guy is Gangnam style", but specifically the way you'd say it to a girl ("oppa" is how a girl would refer to an older brother or male friend, it's complicated). Gangnam is an affluent district in Seoul, a lot of K-pop industry is based there but the song is actually kind of making fun of the Korean obsession with wealth and pop music.

[ElixXxeR]

I enjoyed this. I can say that about precious few American music videos.

[B3sat16v]

That was pretty awesome!

My less than half year old son kinda looks like the kid dancing initially, but a bit less Korean. Might be just the hair.

[Rockerchick]

There is now a female version: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1783292.html

But less horse dance in this one

[Mr Miyagi]

So much better than any current pop/dance music in America.

[winstonsmith84]

Here ya go:

I was expecting filthy lyrics a slutty Korean girl and lots of cool stuff, instead I get a song about humble modest sexy girls and drinking coffee fast? Korea is so weird. I can only imagine guys in polyester jumpers listening to this in some dark alley way in Pyongyang and then getting up and doing the dance while looking over their shoulder to make sure the Dear Leader/Gorlax is not watching them.

[Woodski]

its basically the best song ever

[JuanManuelFangio]

More annoying but addictive kpop.

[SOAR]

MC!

[JuanManuelFangio]

MC!

Bosstoss!

[titleist1976]

My SIL sent this to us a few weeks ago and I've been cracking up to it since.

There was a segment on NPR this morning about this .
