Alright, you've seen it, you've heard it, you've learned the dance. If you haven't... well then you're out of the Asian circle of current events. Normally i'm more of a Japanese music fan, but this time PSY has proven Korea worthy of consideration. Here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0. In the music video you hear multiple times "Oppa Gangnam style". "Oppa" is what Korean girls address older guys to indicate that they would like to be friends, and Gangnam is an expensive district/area in South Korea, similar to Beverly Hills in the USA. It's hilarious and a must watch.
Now, of course, with such a popular music video such as this with such a silly topic and acting, there must be parodies out there. And yes, there are many. However, the best, most professional one I have seen, that might even be funnier than the original (you judge), is from David So. "Byuntae Style" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-eCB6R5tCM
After watching this parody...I'm speechless. It's just hilarious from beginning to start. The lyrics are so catchy, even in Korean when non-Korean speakers can't understand, the lyrics are still hilarious. Overall, I think that David So is an awesome comedian, check out his channel Davidsocomedy, he's pretty awesome. Now, who feels inspired to do their own parody of this? Let's do it! "LGI. Let's Get it, Let's Go!" (David So reference)
