Gangnam Style The Craze
Ok i know what you are thinking. This is your type of music? Are you serious Steve? No this was not my type of music. But it grows on you. The most mind boggling thing is that i do not know how it is possible for a video to be so spectacularly viral. When i first saw it on my Facebook page being shared by one of my younger friends it had reached a viewership of about 17 million.
At this point in typing it is currently 37 million views and climbing! According to trustworthy sources, Gangnam Style is written and performed including dance choreography by this guy named PSY. And this was suppose to be his 6th album. How come i’ve never heard of him before?!?!?!
Believe it or not i first saw this video because someone actually said: “forget about shuffling or tutting Gangnam Style is the way to go!” I didn’t even press play at that time until loads of my friends started commenting on the Facebook post.
If you’re like me you should be wondering (after listening to it 50 times) what does it mean? Well here’s a translation of the more than famous Gangnam Style
GANGNAM STYLE – PSY (in English)
Oppa’s Gangnam style

A classy girl who knows how to relax with a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart heats up by night
