Psy ! - Gangnam Style

SO I first saw it trending on twitter.. and what might it be?? Well if the heading hasn't yet given it away, and you haven't heard of it yet where have you been?? :/ Gangnam style. My first impression was how do I pronounce that, followed by (for some or other reason), what the heck gangster thing might this be. Maybe I've been watching too many Bollywood movies lately because the thought did cross my mind on whether this was some new Bollywood movie title. Anyway after reading more tweets, googling a bit here and there it came to my attention that it was song and dance (surprise surprise).



Having watched the YouTube video I laughed till my tummy hurt and found the dancing, singing and general over all tone rather amusing and intriguing. It astonishing how things spread so fast, Gangnam style taking the world by storm since the Macarena. Worldwide, from Sydney to L.A, Argentina and Peru, flash mobs everywhere have performed the Gangnam style dance. What do we (and I generalise here) find so amusing/interesting/fun/hilarious/entertaining <---(substitute any adjective you like here) about Psy's Gangnam style dance??



For me personally, I think it's the way it's been put together. It's choreographic aesthetic genius! In terms of an art form many different elements have been fused to create a new style like none ever created before. Not that it's a particularly challenging dance, I think it's something people worldwide can relate to. I googled around some more to find the English lyrics to the song.


English Translation:

Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style
A girl who is warm and humanle during the day
A classy girl who knows how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes
A girl with that kind of twist
I’m a guy
A guy who is as warm as you during the day
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even 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
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh
A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all
A sensable girl like that
I’m a guy
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles
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
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two
You know what I’m saying
Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

So PSY's real name is Park Jae-sang and he was born in South Korea. He's got quite a few awards and singles and albums already released but of-course none as popular as Gangnam style. Currently his video is the most viewed K-pop video on YouTube.. Please do yourself a favour and watch the video :) I've added it below.

Sometimes we just need to rid ourselves of the hustle and bustle of city life for some QT and downtime. I always enjoy going to the Stoffberg area in Mpumalanga as my parents have a farm there and its close to Middelburg where I spend most of my holidays. Last Christmas, some close family friends accompanied my family and I to the uBhetyan-O-Africa Lion Park/Game Reserve. It was fantastic!! Ive been to the Lion Park in Magaliesburg and although that one is amazing, it hardly compares to this one. For a recently built park it is beautiful, secluded and a wonderful experience for little children and adults. The park is equipped with lovely thatch chalets and state of the art showers and Jacuzzis. If you feel like lounging around, there's an entertainment area and bar or you can sit along the pool side sipping through some *good stuff* in the fancy glasses they have. Throughout the park there are educational signs that you can read on the fauna and flora found in the pa

Polished! Whether it be nail polish metallic, neon's, or pastels, glitter animal print wraps, nail art stickers and gems or the classic french manicure, taking care of your nails just gives your whole appearance that unique pop at times and can be the perfect accessory. I recently read about a cheap and effective rather quick and interesting method called "news paper nails". Here's a step by step method on how you can use news paper laying around in your house for some gorgeous nails. The Merch (merchandise) aka what you will need (felt so gangster typing merch lol) Rubbing alcohol ( normal vodka will do) Squares of newspaper, cut to rectangular pieces to fit your nails White/light pink/nude nail polish (I used a light candy floss pink.) Clear nail polish to glaze over A small dish/cup SO once you've got the merch .. the fun begins! There is Method to this madness :p Paint your nails (lighter colours tend to work better) allow them to dry

Soo many memories come rushing back to me as I type this. First year (of university that is) seems so distant. Relaxing on the lawns at campus today reminded me of how time passes buy so quickly. It felt amazing! I've learnt soo much and cherished so many good times with lots of friends and people I've met at campus. Being at Wits has not only allowed me to grow as a person but also enjoy the good times of student life! Basking in the sun, the occasional off campus shopping spree, chill sessions at the Bio-Soc on Fridays and much more! I think what aided to my feelings of Nostalgia was the epic return of Rascals (not so epic for me as I soon read the lable and saw that the product contained Beef gelatin) *sigh. Rascals were super awesome when I was younger. I especially liked that huge rascal figurine that was filled with rascals :) and always trying to throw a few up and see if I could catch them in my mouth lol (I think most of us still do this from time to time with pea
