Psy - The Perfect Blend of Humor and Music

If you haven't already seen or heard the music video "Gangnam Style" by the South Korean artist Psy, you must! With close to 200 million YouTube hits, appearances on Good Morning America, the Today Show and Saturday Night Live, Psy and his Gangnam Style song are an international hit and breaking music firsts left and right!

Gangnam Style is the perfect blend of humor and music, which proves that these two attributes are universal keys to connecting with others. The video is deliciously tongue-and-cheek (I'm a sucker for kids dancing, and that little man in his wife beater and red track pants is just amazing). The beat is infectious and the moves are just hilarious, which can be done by anyone anyone.

What does the song mean? Kinda irrelevant since the message of the music and video is to just have fun (at least to me) and to not take life too seriously (a reminder we need in today's turbulent world). However, if you really want to know what Psy is saying, here is a link to UpRoxx, which has the entire song translated. Too tired to know? Well, just sit back, watch, smile, nod your head, tap your feet or fingers, and ENJOY!!!!
