Okay.
If this isn't a web splurge, I don't know what is.

Gangnam Style ( 강남스타일 ) is a K-POP Music Video that was performed by the South Korean rapper known as "PSY".
Unbelievably... It became the number three most watched video on YouTube, climbing to over half a BILLION views in just four months.
Since its release on July 15, there have been parodies performed by millions of people, some of the more notable being The Oregon Duck, the North Korean government, and the midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy. A few exceptional individuals who have done parodies are civil rights activist John Lewis, the mayor of Jerusalem, and Eric Shmidt (Google's executive chairman).The Gangnam Style dance (A comedial dance that looks like one is riding a horse) has gone extremely viral, spreading to television on Samsung commercials, the Ellen DeGeneres show, and Saturday Night Live.

Gangnam Style is actually a neologism. There is a district in Seoul, South Korea, called the Gangnam District. Usually, people in this district are viewed as trendy, or classy. The song is referring to this supposed lifestyle as a sort of twisted joke. As PSY said himself when interviewed:

 "People who are actually from Gangnam never proclaim that they are—it's only the posers and wannabes that put on these airs and say that they are 'Gangnam Style' - so this song is actually poking fun at those kinds of people who are trying so hard to be something that they're not."
-PSY

For those people who read this post and had no idea what it meant, here is the YouTube video itself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

For those people who are even more curious, here are the translated lyrics to the song.
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

So. There you go. 
As for my personal thoughts, the song itself is funny, but the song is part of the "Rap" genre, so it often gives first-time listeners a misconception of what K-POP really is.
Other than that, it's funny.
And it sort of has a hidden meaning.
So yeah.

This song is amazing. The video is better. It's well written and well made.

However, it's only more proof that Americans don't care about lyrics in a song.

It's a bit late to post about this video but I listened to it many times.

It's getting a little old now but it's still a cool song.

Actually, I looked up the lyrics after asking my parents, "Have you ever wondered the meaning behind Gangnam Style's lyrics?"

Well, I think the song is stupid, but upon reading said lyrics, my opinion is FAR more supported.

Well those lyrics are ridiculous o.o

I'm hoping it will slowly die out like the rest.

Seems like as of now the Harlem shake is taking over its spot.

The Gangnam Style song is annoying. I don't get why people like it. But, like people said, now the Harlem Shake is the next, but way less viewed "next big video". But it's even worse. It makes Gangnam Style look like the best song ever. It makes me wonder what is with society these days.

After reading the English lyrics posted in this thread, I'm even more confused about why PSY is dancing like he's riding a horse.

iN008 : It's not over rated, it's over done, and as the internet would call it "cancerous"

I really never hope to see anybody do the "Gag man stile" dance at a party any time soon because that would be shameful.

Anyways, this thread is already in this forum, so I'll close it.
