I ran into the "Gangnam Style" song by Psy when a friend sent it to me on facebook, right before it went viral (gotta keep the cred). My wife just shakes her head at my love of J-Pop and K-Pop, I mean you can't even understand what they are saying!
There have been so many songs that I hear for the first time, loved, and later had to leave because of their content. When you listen to foreign language music, the voice becomes just another instrument and there is nothing to reevaluate later. It also helps that it bothers 2/3 rds of the people you play it around, the rest are just "in the know".
Gangnam Style has a great beat and the little English it contains refers only to "Gangnam Style" and "Sexy Lady" (that part I always flash to Jerry Lewis for some reason). The video is the right mix of Korean hipster and cheap glam. Enjoy.
