At this sauna, every staff, even me, was out of their consciousness. PSY SAYS: “It was a real sauna, so it was hot, and I was so exhausted, and all of a sudden I feel like getting sleepy on his shoulder. We edited a lot, and actually we tried a lot more than this.” I asked them, ‘Hey, throw it harder, throw it harder, so that way it’s going to look really hilarious!’ So they used a propeller. PSY SAYS: “Did you feel that I moved like Michael Jackson in that scene? I tried some things serious, to be ridiculous, you know. THE SCENE: Debris and snow whooshing into Psy’s face PSY SAYS: “When we made this choreography, we called it ‘horse dance.’ I told, ‘Hey, this is horse dance, so let’s find some horse place.’ In that way, it can be more cheesy. You know there’s a program called America’s Got Talent? We had a version of the program, which is called Korea’s Got Talent, and the boy came from there. My thought was, the song releases on July 15th, and in Korea it’s really hot in summer. THE SCENE: Lounging on a beach that’s actually a playground Following is the singer’s scene-by-scene breakdown. “This is history in my country,” Psy says, from a promotional tour in New York City, during an enthusiastic 45-minute phone interview that had been strictly scheduled for 15 minutes.
Obviously, they succeeded – “Gangnam Style” is not only spontaneously, ridiculously funny, it has snagged more than 167 million YouTube views since its release in mid-July and is climbing up the iTunes charts. For 48 straight hours in early July, Korean pop star Psy and his crew drove Seoul’s crowded highways in search of absurdist settings for his sexy horse dance.
