I just saw video on both versions of Gangnam Style (Just Dance 4 and Dance Central 3). My wife absolutely hates Gangnam style (since it’s been manhandled by everyone - but she still likes PSY). It looked really fun to dance to on both games. All I know is that when my four year old and I open our “Xmas present” (I picked up our replacement Xbox lol) - we’re gonna be "Sexy Lady"ing it up, all ups in there…times forever.
Normally, it’s stupid to claim that people who hate such-and-such song are only bagging on it for being popular… but in the case of “Gangnam Style”, it’s true.
I think my biggest problem with this song (aside from the overly deliberate and transparent attempt to cash in on this dubstep fad in pop) is that it pays no homage to the Backstreet Boys song of the same name, which is one of the absolute greatest songs ever conceived.
Also, if I can post a non-English song, then I nominate “Malchik” (Boy in Russian) by Serebro. Hearing this annoying song EVERY DAY on the radio at work pisses me off so much that I feel like going on a killing spree.
No, not really. This one was actually rather unusually low budget. Average videos have decent production and sometimes with decent CGI. But then again, I haven’t been watching TV for a long. That and I actually hate Russian Pop, R&B and just general charts music.
Typical videos would have productions sort of like this Valeriy Meladze video (Just decided to add a video from a Pop singer I can at least tolerate)

Ofcourse there are bands that will make an incredibly cheap video on purpose as a joke, especially in the Post-Soviet 1990’s. Like this old video by Diskoteka Avariya.
