What has made it so popular.. the beat or just that it is silly or funny? Reminds me a little of the disco beats of the 70's.

It can be both.

It is a brilliant commentary on the conspicuous consumerism overtaking South Korean culture, and has gained currency in the United States because of our own Veblen-esque culture.

The first time I saw the video I thought the dude in the yellow suit was Michael Cera, true story.

That's a dude in the yellow? I thought it was a long legged gal dressed up to look like a guy.

Your right that, that is the most viewed song on youtube of all time. However your link isn't to the right video. Your link goes to one that has 12,000,000 views. The actual one has over 800,000,000 and finally dethroned Justin Bieber as the most viewed.

 

[vvvvvvv]

This has to be the greatest, though...

I've followed Psy for 5 years. (Wife is Korean) He made a video about being kidnapped by the North Koreans several years back and now it's been remade into Gangnam Style music.
