Gangnam style boasts more than 500 million views on YouTube and has generated mass appeal with its amusing melodies and hilarious dance moves. A parody to the lavish lifestyle enjoyed by residents of the Gangnam district in Seol, Psy's hit is the most liked video on YouTube.
There have been a vast amount of tributes that have spawned from the viral k-pop hit. From robots imitating the quirky dance moves to USB drives that resemble Psy, these Gangnam style sensations will continue to inspire listeners to "dress classy and dance cheesy."
