The world has fallen completely in love with Psy and his hit
single, Gangnam Style.
The South Korean rapper who's been in the business for a
decade has exploded onto the scene and is making up for some lost time.
This time, the whole world will hear his message, whether
they entirely understand it or not.
That's the beauty of Gangnam Style.
Psy is breaking down the language barrier that most musical artists
hit. Something that might be a hit in
the U.S. might do well in Canada, but might not translate well into another
language, say Russian.
Meanwhile, there's Psy.
He's created such a catchy beat, coupled with outlandish dance moves and
colorful imagery, that it translate well across the board. You don't need to understand the words to
know that it's high energy. You don't
have to get the meaning or the subtle satirical overtones in this musical
piece. You just got to bob your head and
grin.
Even in the behind the scenes footage of Psy, in making the
Gangnam Style video shows him having the time of his life. He did things because it was fun or plain
funny to him. He was living in the now
and it translated well.
The song has made it to No.1 in the US iTunes Top Songs
chart, andin 18 other countries including Canada, Argentina, Czech Republic,
the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Lithuania, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.
