I’m a guy A guy who is as warm as you during the day A guy who downs his coffee before it cools down A guy whose heart bursts when night comes That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable Yes you, hey, yes you, hey Beautiful, loveable Yes you, hey, yes you, hey Now let’s go until the end

One of the main factors that gangnam style is so popular was the attention it first got from Celebrity’s, such as Robbie Williams, t-pain and Britney spears, leading it to a lot more mainstream success from the large amount of followers that these people have that means that with in the day the video was posted, so that would gain the video a lot more views.

But along with that this will also lead to Pys having a lot more popularty with his other music and a possible launch in the genre of ‘k-pop’ really getting a more western audience.


As Gangnam style going viral and spreading around the internet, which leads to Pys getting interviews on American TV and his success becoming worldwide success, this isn’t the first of success’s just to happen with the internet, along with that the success could also be added to the ‘horse dance’ that Pys dose himself, as people could find it funny, and love it or hate it people started showing it to their friends, and if they started talking about it that would get a lot more people seeing it.


That is all helped by the rather catchy rhythm and the dance that Psy dose

Also lead to a large amount of parody/tribute videos and even in some comics.
