Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

My camera can also do vids, so if I get the chance, I'll grab that song, too. :biggrin:

Don't know why I found the video so funny/amusing, but I did. I don't think I could listen to that song or kind of music anymore than the few minutes it took me the first time though :lol:

:hehe: I despise pop music as a rule, but that particular song gigged me right good. It's a poke in the eye to rich, pretentious, ignorant snobs everywhere, really.

Yup i think every developed country has its own take on gangnam style.

Why is it so popular in the West? Well that's easy. It's funny watching Asians trying to act like real people :hehe:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

And vice versa. Watching Westerners acting the way they think Asians act at martial arts schools is so funny... :hehe:
