PSY must be psyched!

The Korean pop star has made YouTube history. On Friday, Gangnam Style became the first video to hit 1 billion views.

"PSY's success is a great testament to the universal appeal of catchy music-- and er, great equine dance moves," YouTube said in a statement. " In the past, music distribution was mostly regional. It was more difficult to learn about great artists from around the world. But with a global platform at their fingertips, people are now discovering and sharing amazing music from all over the planet, by artists like Brazilian Michel Teló and Belgian-Australian Gotye."

See the rest of YouTube's most popular videos for 2012 here.

But the news hasn't been all positive for PSY. Earlier this month, he was forced to apologize for anti-American remarks at a 2004 concert protesting the U.S. military presence in South Korea during the early stages of the Iraq war.

"While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self, I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted," he wrote in the statement. "I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words."

The Gangnam video is making fun of the K-douchebags who live in Gangnam, which is an elite neighborhood like Brentwood, Beverly Hills or Upper East Side Manhattan.

Note the lack of homos in the Gangnam video, however.

Sometimes I don't even know what you guys are talking about. It's like you choose to hate anything which doesn't directly reference your cultural viewpoint. Whine some more.

This is actually kinda true, sorry to say.

The original video is obviously making fun of something, and I'm always up for a good parody.

Didn't PSY get some heat for wanting US troops out of his country? I don't blame him.

I had a korean friend introduce me to Psy 10 years ago. He played a song for me and then translated it. The lyrics? "Those of you who enjoy life, you are the real champions." Sounds like a good message.


So I can't get all worked up like some are.

I just realise that this tune is from the seventies..... is his dancing a visual affect that has made it famous, I believe that the tune was called "You Can't Touch This".....any "old" person remembers this?, it was done by a blk guy wearing pantaloons.

You know you're getting too old when your off by more than a decade.

That was in the early 90's, Ponce.

Well you remember what is most important, is how to remain free.

Someone told me a good memory exorcize is to do some habitual tasks a little bit differently each day,

an example is like brushing your teeth in a slightly different way.
