Gangnam Style

[2fnloud]

By now most of use have heard this song, most like it, a few hate it. I was able to finally able to find a decent English translation here you go:

Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style

A girl who is warm and humanle during the day
A classy girl who know how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes
A girl with that kind of twist

I’m a guy
A guy who is as warm as you during the day
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down
A guy whose heart bursts when night comes
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all
A sensable girl like that

I’m a guy
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two

You know what I’m saying
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh


This title, "oppa," can be used only by a
girl when she calls out to or talks to either (1) her real older
brother in her family, or (2) a male friend slightly older than she is

Gangnam is the richest district in Korea.

So "Oppan Gangnam style" means "(girls!) Older brother or in this song's case slightly older male friend is Gangnam
style,"

I know I know I geeked out too much to share this.

Even though this song is catchy and ridiculous, the meaning actually goes a bit further than this.

It's actually a satire on the ridiculously rich Korean lifestyle, versus those that are poor and trying to live the gangnam style (e.g. poorer income people buying $10 Starbucks coffees as opposed to healthy, substantial food, etc).

...so it's essentially like 90% of what keeps BET in business.

the whole song is satire, and the direct translation above doesn't do the phrasing any sort of justice.
another analogy would be comparing it to poorer people in the states buying expensive clothes when they can't really afford it and then leaving the label on the clothes, sort of to show off the fact that they've got the money to spend on nicer things.

the singer (Psy) grew up a rich kid, caused trouble instead of falling in line like his siblings did, ended up going to Boston University and Berklee school of music. And then served in the Korean military...twice.
also, he was on ellen:

Oh, so like the guy who lives off the govt, but wants to get his step daughter age 9 an iPad for Christmas, has a $210 cable bill, and borrows his dads car because he doesn't have one? Then blames the retired dad that its his fault that he can't get work because he doesn't just give him the car.

Sorry, personal rant.
