"Gangnam" dope rapped about killing American troops, their families...

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I hated his music before.  I hate it still.  Hopefully now people will just be outraged enough that that terrible song will finally stop being played on the radio.  But I doubt it.  Seriously... Gangnam Style is just a terribly annoying song.

[Bacon King]

Is he calling for the deaths of random American soldiers or those who specifically committed war crimes? Important distinction here.

lyrics of the song he sang:

Kill those [Inks]ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives
Kill those [Inks]ing Yankees who ordered them to torture
Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers
Kill them all slowly and painfully

[dead0man]

It was fine* until that third line.



*not that I agree with the sentiment of course, but it's certainly a position I can understand.

[John Dibble]

Meh, he was pissed off and surrounded by a bunch of other pissed off people and did something stupid. Yeah, the lyrics are horrible but it's not like he actually killed anyone. I don't particularly care about his music, but I just can't be horribly outraged by this. If he's actually sorry then I think people should just move on.

[k-onmmunist]

not particularly surprised, and it doesn't change the fact i like the song for the lulz factor.

[Silent Hunter]

Worth noting, of course, that the entire appeal of this thing is 'look at the funny foreign man!' anyway.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm pretty sure that his actual hit is about how built up the rich are and their lifestyle etc. Which came over he because ... DUMB FOREIGN GUY LOL

I read the English lyrics (or at least some of them) and they're really weird.

[The Mikado]

Gangnam Style is ridiculously catchy, far more so than it has any right to be.  I have to give PSY credit for being more of a legitimate dancer than 90% of popular music acts out there are...goddamn, Gangnam looks like one hell of a workout.

So, yeah, I'm endorsing Gangnam.

Controversy over Psy’s anti-American lyrics might be based on shoddy translation

I agree, which is why I'm changing. Don't try to be Al. It comes off as rather affected.

I don't know what that means but OK!
