The love for PSY’s “Gangnam Style” certainly hasn’t slowed with the horsey dance video currently at over 1.5 billion views on YouTube. Its follow-up “Gentleman” music video, has followed a similar style to “Gangnam.” Despite the new single being titled “Gentleman,” the video showcases the K-pop king pulling chairs out from beneath beautiful women, making little kids cry and attempting to pull off sunbathing girls’ tops. Those well-versed in “Gangnam Style” will see familiar faces like the dancing man in the yellow suit, the man in the cowboy hat in the elevator and hoards of hilarious senior citizens. We also have a new subtle hip-shaking choreography with an innovative lyrical hook like “I’m a motherfather gentleman.” Overall, PSY’s performance is still entertaining, but will it break the record again is still too early to say.
