'Gangnam Style'

Post by Gob »

From 2 years of break, PSY is finally coming back with his 6th album 'PSY6甲'!
The album's weighty title song 'Gangnam Style' is composed solely by PSY himself from lyrics to choreography. The song is characterized by its strongly addictive beats and lyrics, and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy.

가수 싸이가 6집 앨범 '싸이6甲(싸이육갑)'으로 2년 만에 전격 컴백한다!
타이틀 곡은 싸이가 직접 작사·작곡한 '강남스타일'로 싸이는 멜로디, 가사, 안무 등 다방면에서 강한 중독성을 보여 줄 예정이다.
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

Almost Shakespearian really
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Hahahaha, the video is hilarious, good-natured fun. I'm not sure the song has much to offer beyond being a vehicle for the video, but the thing was definitely worth four minutes of my life.
GAH!

Bloody catchy tune as well.

Not to mention all the "Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh."

Love it, love it, love it.

This could be the new MSU feem choon.

We already have a dance to "I'm Sexy and I know It" under our belts for the Christmas party, now we need to conquer Gangnam Style.
Bah!

DEPENDING on your point of view, it's either a hilariously weird little song with an even more ridiculous dance move or a cutting social satire dissecting the extravagances of a society drowning in debt

… but either way Korean singer Psy's song Gangnam Style is a bone fide internet hit with millions of fans around the world. Psy, aka 34-year-old rapper Jae-Sang Park, released the tune on July 15, posting it to YouTube. It's a catchy enough song but it's the film clip that got attention.

This is an almost Dada-esque series of vignettes that make no sense at all to most Western eyes. Psy spits in the air while a child breakdances, sings to horses, strolls through a hurricane that shoots whipped cream in his face, there's explosions, a disco bus, he rides a merry-go-round, dances on boats, beaches, in car parks and in elevators and generally makes you wonder if you have accidentally taken someone else's medication.

In just over a month, it's pulled nearly 62 million views on YouTube, has Justin Bieber's manager interested and made rapper T-Pain say: ''Words cannot even describe how amazing this video is.''

And they are all missing the point, analysts say. ''Gangnam'' is a particularly affluent South Korean neighbourhood where debt-ridden neo-yuppies spend way more than they should. What Psy is doing, they say, is showing them just how ridiculous they are.

''The video is rich with subtle references that, along with the song itself, suggest a subtext with a surprisingly subversive message about class and wealth in contemporary South Korean society,'' The Atlantic wrote this week.

Possibly, but it's got some great dance moves too and the Christmas party season is approaching.

Well, if the consumer society bothers him, he can always move north...

Not a whole lot of consumerism there...

In an ironic twist, Hyuna has done a tribute featuring Psy.

Please enjoy for the benefit of fun, "Oppa, You're My Style ".
