Yesterday, I heard this song and watched the video on TV. It is said that this song has been praised by many pop stars and other celebrities like Britney Spears and Anne Hathaway.

You know how popular it is? This song has already attracted over 300 million hits on Youtube. Except the lyrics, the Horse Riding Dance is another highlight in the music video.

Haha, horse riding dance is really interesting. This guy and Leehom Wang graduated from the same school in the United States.

It is said that he copied some ideas from his friend. His friend was heartbroken. But some medium reported that PSY's friend might be jealous of him and then made use of him to attract people's attention.

This dance is interesting, but it is really hard for me because I never rode a horse before. I heard that many office workers now do body exercise during break with this song.

Holy cats!

This guy must copy horse riding dance from me. When I was in primary school, my teacher arranged me and some other students to do horse riding dance. We did the similar dance. I remembered that we just didn't swing the whip above our heads. It's been more than one decade.

BBQQ,

It's a pity that you didn't let more people know your horse riding dance. Can you record your horse riding dance and share it with us? I am eager to watch your performance.

During the 9th International Culture Festival, an international student imitated Gongnam Style. His performance made the audience scream and shout. After the opening ceremony performances, some audience went to the stage and performed Gongnam Style together. Suddenly, the stage collapsed when they peformed the horse-riding dance.

Can you imagine how Gongnam Style is popular in China?

A primary school in Beijing even organize all the students to perform horse dance accompanied by Gongnam Style music. It is said that the students voluntarily ask the teacher if they can do horse dance. Then the teachers had a meeting together and agreed.

In the past, the students did setting-up exercise during the break. Now they abandon setting-up exercise and perform horse dance.

At a key school in Chongqing city, a thousand students followed their PE teachers to perform Horse-Riding dance. At the end, the PE teachers praised all the students and said that they would adapt another Chinese pop song Zui Xuan Min Zu Feng and invite all the students to learn new style dances.
