Kinda lacks the memetic of the the HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY SEXY LADY but it makes up for it in absolute irony.

Several comments:

- Just in case you couldn't tell already, motherfother is Koreans' way of saying the word.

- In case you are wondering, no, he's not saying Maria.

- What the Hell is with his pants?

- He's such a troll.

- This just doesn't have the energy of Gangnam Style.

This seems to be a case of Sequelitis - making another song that's very similar to Gangnam Style and hoping it will be just as popular. But it lacks the things that made Gangnam Style good. It doesn't have its energy or its catchiness.

It just sounds too bland.

Yeah, this was just boring. And the dance this time around manages to be even dumber than Gangnam Style, which I didn't think was possible.

On a (somewhat) unrelated note, it seems like this one was made with American audiences more in mind. Or maybe that's just me.

Looking for some stories?

This is some sort of troll song.

I found pretty hilarious. It's not as outright weird as Gangnam Style, but Psy's Jerkass antics made me laugh.

I have to agree with Tuckerscreator here. The dickishness made me smile at least a little, because I apparently have the shrivelled black heart of a high school bully. tongue

Though I didn't find it too catchy, I'll admit that it'll probably grow on me.

It's weird, I just listened to a Venetian Snares song of the same name.

Ultimately, I think I prefer the Venetian Snares song, but this was actually pretty good. The beat is better than Gangnam Style, and I liked the video.

I do think that the video was trying too hard at some points, though.

How do you think American radio stations are going to handle "motherfother"?

I would imagine it depends on how the folks at the FCC hear "fother". I really don't know what the standards say about words that sound like the words on Carlin's List.

Maybe it's just me, but from the opening with just the drums and bass, I was half expecting this song to take me to funkytown.

I always figured this song and Gangnam Style were satires of the 'modern sexualized culture'. I mean why else is there much Fanservice?

I can't say I see much fanservice in Korean works aside from things that are expected to be pretty much designed for it (like music videos of young idols) but then again the vast majority of what I watch from them are dramas which are serious business and stuff.

MMORPGs are serious business.

While Psy won't be topping "Gangnam Style" soon, he's probably not going to be an One-Hit Wonder, if his sales and radio plays live up to his You Tube viralness.

Chances are Gangnam Style and Gentlemen can be reinterpreted as sex positions.(The Gangbang Style and The Gentleman)
