Introduction

Hi, my name is Phil North. I am currently a student at UCLan in Preston studying Creative Writing and Journalism and have been given the opportunity to study my second year at Central Connecticut State University. Here is where you will be able to find out about my experiences, opinions and just how well I'm adjusting to the US way of life.

Gangnam Style - Revisited (Eton Style)

After some very quick research, I am led to believe that Psy's 'Gangnam Style' has already made it to the top of the charts back home in the UK at the beginning of the month. Entering the top 40 in late September and reaching number one by the beginning of October. While Psy has topped the charts in Britain  he is also hoping to recreate similar success in America, after signing up with Justin Bieber's management team, fronted by Scooter Braun. Following the announcement of the collaboration, Braun said: 'We've come to an agreement to make history together. To be the first Korean artist to break a big record in the United States.'

It has just appeared on Sky News and on Facebook that the craze is beginning to take fold back home with a surprise parody from the boys at Eton College. It makes me proud to be British.




Wake in the morning at 8:30 pretty standard,
If you don't haul arse to chapel then you're late, and reprimanded,
They'll close the doors right in your face and they will leave you stranded,
Then you're in tardy, chin up buddy.

I've got my fixtures here, it's got a list of all my peeps,
We go to chambers here, it's where you go to speak to beaks,
There's college library there, we got originals from Rousseau and his mate Voltaire, 
And they're just sitting there ('cause we don't care).

We may be awkward, frustrated, lonely and insecure, (hey) yes insecure (hey),
We don't like conflict with other people, so just don't try, (hey) don't be that guy (hey),
'Cause if you push is then we'll just break down and cry.

But we've got Eton Style,
Eton style (yah yah yah yah),
Yah we've got Eton Style,
Eton style (yah yah yah yah),
Yah we've got Eton Style,
Hey, sexy lady, (yah yah yah yah),
We've got Eton Style,
Hey sexy lady, (yah yah yah yah),
Hey hey hey hey.

Me and my homies runnin around and getting dizzy,
Don't even know what we drank but we'll take it if it's fizzy,
I think it might be Moet at a hundred pounds a bottle,
'Cause here we drink that just like water.

Got Eton Dorney there, put our school in the Olympics,
Windsor Castle there, direct phone right up to Prince Harry,
Eton's cannon there, I think we stole from the Russians,
Won it fair and square (well, not really fair)

We may awkward, frustrated, lonely and insecure (hey), yes insecure (hey), 
We're not too social, can't talk to women, although we try (hey), we're just too shy (hey),
If you approach us then we'll just break down and cry.

But we got Eton Style
Eton style (yah yah yah yah)
Yah we've got Eton Style
Eton style (yah yah yah yah)
But we've got Eton Style
Hey, sexy lady, (yah yah yah yah)
We've got Eton Style
Hey sexy lady, (yah yah yah yah)
Hey hey hey hey

No, I don't know,
Why we all wear these clothes,
But baby, baby,
Just come on and watch me row.
No, please don't go,
Oh we can take it slow,
Baby, baby, I still got a lot of land to show you. (You know what I'm saying?)

We've got Eton style!

Hey hey hey hey hey hey,
Hey, sexy lady (yah yah yah yah),
Yah we've got Eton Style,
Hey, sexy lady (yah yah yah yah),
Hey hey hey hey hey hey,
We've got Eton Style.
