A still from the music video Gangnam Style |
Gangnam Style, a music video by a South Korean singer Psy, went viral over the Internet. It has been seen millions of times since it was uploaded on the video sharing website YouTube. Why is it so popular? Is it an excellent piece of musical creativity? Do the lyrics of the song have deep meaning? Or is it out of the ordinary for some other creative reasons unknown to common people? How did it become the most liked video in YouTube history?
There are many such questions
that boggle the minds of the people who have watched this video and even those
who have not searched it on YouTube and only read about it in news reports. The
strange thing is that ninety per cent people who do not understand Korean had
not understood the lyrics of the music video if they would have not seen it with
subtitles in their preferred languages. The phenomenon of liking a musical
video in the language we don’t understand was seen in India when Kolaveri Di
went viral. The song was as popular in Punjab and U.P. as it was in Tamil Nadu.
It will not be wrong to say that Gangnam Style is more popular in other
countries than in South Korea. It has fan following everywhere from Africa,
West Indies to India and Sri Lanka.
But what is Gangnam
Style? Wikipedia says that ‘Gangnam style’ depicts the lavish lifestyle
associated with Gangnam district in Seoul (South Korea). The lyrics of the
music video do not tell about Gangnam Style but the video does speak a little
about it.
When I listen to
this song for the first time I could not make head and tale of its meaning. I tried looking for
the translated version of its lyrics and when I read the translated version I realized
that I was better of without knowing what exactly it meant. There was
nothing to understand. It was as senseless as Kolaveri Di. But the video has enough material to make you roll on the floor laughing (ROFL).
