TRENDING - PSY's Gangnam Style

Top of the charts in Korea and the UK. A trend for cheesy, but colourful song 'Gangnam Style' has swept the globe. 

For those of you don't know, 'Gangnam Style' is a single released by Southern Korean rapper PSY, released on July 12th 2012. The music video has been viewed over 447 million times on YouTube, and is currently thriving still at the top of our charts.

In my opinion, Gangnam style is an average song about a guy who fancies a girl who likes coffee. Nothing special about the lyrics, but it does have a good beat and an entertaining music video. I wouldn't really recommend Gangnam style to most, however, as I find PSY has quite a plain voice, and if you don't watch the video along with the song, it can actually be quite boring.
So why is Gangnam style appearing across the world? Most likely as the music video is funny, and is brimming with 'summery' feelings.

Here are the lyrics to 'Gangnam Style', for those who don't know them already:

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

So can 'Gangnam Style' strike a trend in the popularity of K-Pop? I believe, yes. Not only has viewing on K-Pop music videos on YouTube significantly rose since then, but K-pop is already popular among most music lovers. This is a way of spreading knowledge on K-Pop music, although may cause a little ignorance from people who dislike the humour of the video.
But anyway, this isn't probably why you've clicked onto this topic, this is what you really want to see...
