What’s catching the eye in Gangnam Style is PSY’s unique dance moves, funny horse riding scenes and dancing in a towel. Even as many may not understand the language, the video has become the talk of the Internet.

　　The video also has many different versions and parodies(模仿)on the Internet now. The song has topped the iTunes charts in 31 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

　　“The YouTube video never targeted foreign countries. It was for local fans, ” PSY told the reporters on the sidelines of a concert. “My goal in this music video was to look uncool until the end. I achieved it. ”

　　Even a few of South Korea’s normally serious presidential candidates are imitating PSY’s moves in an appeal to voters.

　　The song, released in mid-July, was meant as a commentary on the uncontrolled materialism and emphasis on appearance of today’s South Korea—particularly in relation to Gangnam, which PSY terms Seoul’s Beverly Hills.

　　His stage name comes from “psycho” , and he writes and produces his own music. Gangnam Style is about the wasteful and luxurious(奢侈的)lifestyle connected to the trendy Gangnam district, located in Seoul(首尔). PSY even choreographed (为……编舞)the routines in the clip.

　　Of millions watching the viral video, there are a growing number of celebrities expressing their love for the song, including Katy Perry, T-Pain, Robbie Williams, Josh Groban, and Nelly Furtado, who performed some of the song at a recent concert.
