This song is great not just because it's catchy but because of the social commentary behind it. Shambala Mar 16 #3

The whole spectacle was worth the watch.
And, the audience was loving it.

Here’s a link to an old article about the parody of Gangnum

https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/the-social-commentary-behind-south-korean-rapper-psys-gangnam-style-499702

I gotta admit that I practiced a few of the dance moves in the song and then broke them out at my daughter’s high school Father-Daughter dance many moons ago. I probably embarrassed her but other dads loved it and cheered me on and then come Monday morning my daughter sheepishly raised her hand when one of her teachers asked “whose dad was dancing Gangnum style?”. She still loves me and we still laugh about it.
