i watched the video on Youtube last week. Well, i admit the horse dance is quite addictive. But the lyric is full of dissing, i think it should be banned. I mean, there's a lot of good lyric writer out there. Why such lyric become so popular? It hurt my ears listening to it, I muted the sound halfway through. And i'm not even Korean.

i've listened to it and it was really a very catchy song and can even make you do the steps.. unfortunately, i can't understand korean that's why i don't know whats the song is about.. And all i heard and understand in the lyrics is the title itself.. ___

See, I told you, you will enjoy the song very much because you don't understand the meaning behind its lyric. Keep supporting Kpop!

Try listening to it. I think if you can not understand Korean language, you will really enjoy the song. Like mention above, it's catchy.

It's a catchy song. Just like 'Call Me Maybe', which also doesn't have the best lyrics. Same goes for 'Friday' of Rebbeca Black and all other viral songs. I'd give gangnam a month, I'm sure people will forget it ever existed in a while.

Yeah, maybe you are right. Let's wait and see how long it will stay on top.

Hi, when I first heard Gangnam style my first reaction was "what the heck is this song it's kinda irritating. But when I saw the music video fo it I really felt not stopping to laugh because of the dance step. I really can't stop you hating the lyrics of the song, but I think because we cannot really understand what that it mean. Have a nice day.

The first time I saw it on TV I was like "What the hell?" HAHA. I don't understand the lyrics I just find it a silly fun song but you know with everything it will go away so don't worry

Yup, it's fun! I'm not surprised if after this people will use the dance step in aerobic and such. I just hope the song lyric is better and more sophisticated.

My friend, perhaps because many are like that song became popular. Maybe you do not like it but a lot of people there who love it. Because each person's taste is different.

Yeah, i know different people have different taste. But to think that a lot of people loves such a simple, boring lyric, i feel so sympathy to other good lyric writer.

lol! Oppa gangnam style? Britney Spears brought me there! Actually the lyric just described how "Gangnam" became Hollywood - like. (You saw all beautiful -plastic surgery - women in there ,rite?) I'm not Korean too - but since the "Oppa" has good sound ,and the dance yes - it is quite addictive , I become his fans ;D
