Mainstream news overseas like CNN and ABC have also covered this explosion of Gangnam love, bringing in new watchers every day and giving PSY a healthy dose of international recognition that he surely deserves.

Gangnam style is the newest single by Korean artist PSY, an upbeat and extremely catchy song about the Gangnam-style boy who is searching for his ideal Gangnam-style girl. There are a lot of girl that can be seen on the video.Gangnam is basically the “Rich” area of Seoul, so when someone says they live in Gangnam or the hang out in that area you immediately have a certain perception of them.  The girls are skinny, from good families, usually have had a bit of plastic surgery, often study abroad, well dressed, with just a dash of sexy and sophistication who want a boyfriend with the same style and background in a fancy car.

PSY says he is a classy smooth guy who can drink his hot coffee in “one shot” and wants a girl that can be that beautiful proper lady, but also let her hair down and be that sexy girl at the club.  These are enjoyable lyrics to listen to and the song is very catchy, but it is not exactly funny if you actually read what they mean.  Some of us said that the visuals of the music video is very funny because funny because PSY is singing the whole time how he is into “Gangnam style“, but he is so not  “Gangnam style” at all. He has on a slick tacky suit, sunglasses, dances around foolishly, and is hanging out in the wrong places to meet that sort of woman he dreams of.
