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.

'Gangnam Style' Sweeps The Nation

There is a new style here in America. Imported from the depths of South Korea, this style is nothing that the west has ever witnessed before. It can be seen in pubs, clubs, sporting events, or simply on the streets amongst friends. Why? Who knows. The name of this style, is Gangnam Style. For a little background info, I've requested the help of Wikipedia:

"Gangnam Style" (Korean: 강남스타일, IPA: [kaŋnam sɯtʰail]) is a single by South Korean rapper Psy. The song was released on July 15, 2012, as the lead single of his sixth studio album PSY's Best 6th Part 1. "Gangnam Style" debuted at number one on the Gaon Chart, the national record chart of South Korea.^[1] As of October 13, 2012, the music video has been viewed over 460 million times on YouTube,^[2][3] and is the site's most watched K-pop video.^[4]

The video has been shared on the Internet by numerous celebrities including T-Pain, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Tom Cruise, covered by music artistsNelly Furtado^[5] and Maroon 5,^[6] and featured in international media outlets such as CNN International, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, the Harvard Business Review,^[7] and the global politics magazine Foreign Policy.^[8] "Gangnam Style" flash mobs have appeared in cities around the world. The video has become a source of parodies and reaction videos by many different groups including The Oregon Duck, midshipmen from theUnited States Naval Academy, and the North Korean government.^[9][10] Psy has brought the "Gangnam Style" dance to various locations includingThe Today Show, Saturday Night Live, Dodger Stadium, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Samsung commercials.^[11]

"Gangnam Style" has been highly praised for its catchy beat and Psy's humorous dance moves in the music video and live performances. On September 17, the song was nominated for Best Video at the upcoming 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards to be held in Frankfurt, Germany.^[12] On September 20, 2012, "Gangnam Style" was recognized by Guinness World Records as the most "liked" video in YouTube history.^[13]

I was aware of this song back home in England when it was released. It appeared on the News as being the most liked video in YouTube history, but then never heard of it again. That was until I arrived here in America. I must admit that it is pretty catchy.
