"Gangnam Style" is fast becoming this decade's version of the "Macarena. "

It's a catchy song and you don't need much hand-eye coordination to do the dance.

"The mindset of this dance is to dress classy and dance cheesy," Psy (the man behind "Gangnam Style") told Ellen DeGeneres.

While some people watch the music video and become overwhelmed at Psy's impressive dance skills, it's really a simple routine to learn.

"Imagine you're on a horse," Psy tells NY1 reporter Michelle Park

Preview – How to do the Gangnam Style dance –[Multimedia-English videos]

Hi, I’m Tammy, from the LondonKPopDance Workshop and I’m gonna teach you how to do the Gangnam Style dance. So the first part of the Gangnam Style dance is the galloping.

          Step 1: The Gallop
Now, we start off with your right hand over your left, almost like you’re holding reins, and keep them loose, and then you gonna go: right, left, right, right – left, right, left, left. Now, with that you gonna do a slight jump or a hop, almo- so that you have the same motion as galloping. Right, so if we put that together… 5, 6, 7, 8 – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

          Step 2: The Gallop with Lasso
The second part of the dance is the galloping with the lasso. Now you use your left hand in front, and then your right hand as if you’re holding a lasso. Now you twirl your arm eight times, that’s just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, but you do that with the gallop, so you- again with your right, left, right, right – and then left, right, left, left. So if you put that all together… 5, 6, 7, 8 – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

          Step 3: The Lasso without Gallop
So, in this dance, they use the lasso in two ways: one way, you’re galloping with the lasso, and then one way you lasso for four counts and then you stop for four counts but you still lasso. So we go: 1, 2, 3, 4, and then you lasso 1, 2, and then slowly for the third time. So if we try that: 5, 6, 7, 8 – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

          Step 4: The Hip Flick with Foot Shuffle
So the next part of the dance is the hip flick with the foot shuffle. Now, you put your hands on your hips, and you use your right leg to flick out, and you do that four times, but use your hip to help you make that movement, and you do that four times, so you just go: 1, 2, 3, 4, and then, after the fourth one you’ll- you end up here and then you would drag your leg up this way. Now, in the song you hear “sexy lady”, so this, this movement with the leg represents the sexy lady. 5, 6, 7, 8 – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

          Step 5: The Stretch, Roll and Pop
So the next part of the dance is the stretch with the bum roll and the slight bum pop. So you get into position like this, almost like you’re doing lunges, and then you’ll bounce four times. You’ll go: 1, 2, 3, 4. And then, using your back leg you’ll roll your bum twice, 1, 2. And then, using your leg again, you’ll pop your leg three times: 1, 2, 3. 5, 6, 7, 8 – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; 1, 2, 3.

          Step 6: The Chest and Arm Pop
Now, from that last move you’ll add three chest pops and then three chest-and-arm pops, so we just go: 1, 2, 3 – 1, 2, 3. So if we try that: 5, 6, 7, 8 – 1, 2, 3; 1, 2, 3.
 
          Step 7: The Pose
So the final part of this dance is the ending pose. Now, you’ll end up like this, anyway, and then you’ll lean to the right, and then you’ll keep out with your right leg and then you pose. So if we try that: 5, 6, 7, 8 – lean, kick, pose.

Now we’re gonna pull all the parts of the dance together, so if we go: 5, 6, 7, 8 – gallop, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, lasso, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and gallop again, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, lasso, 2, 3, pause; 1, 2, 3, 4, hip, 1, 2, 3, 4, sexy lady, here, gallop, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, stretch, 2, 3, 4, roll, roll, 1, 2, 3; 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 then here, kick, here. Now we’re gonna do the dance in real time.

Experts link PSY to the world's K-Pop fashion

Korean pop singer and dancer Park Jae Sang, better known as PSY - Gangnam Style,'s biggest hit forced YouTube to change the system counting views from 32-bit to 64-bit.

As noted by representatives of the popular video hosting, the previous version was able to reach 2,147,483,647 views.

"We never thought that a video would appear on the site for which the 32-bit version of the site would not be enough," YouTube writes on their page.

Now the counter shows 2,155,260,965 views. In connection with the transition to a new scoring system, the developers made an animated "surprise" for users, visible when you hover over the number of times the clip has been viewed.

Four Cheops and almost five Stonehenges

A 64-bit system can withstand 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 views of one particular video.

That's over 9 quintillion or a million trillion.

The Economist calculated that the time spent by 2 billion users watching a Korean video could be used as 140 million man-hours.

According to the authors of the publication, such a volume of efforts would lead to the appearance of 4. 5 Stonehenges or four pyramids of Cheops.

Four-time record holder

Since its publication in July 2012, the video has averaged about 3 million views per day.

Pak Chae Sang's dance has gained particular popularity - it was repeated by millions of people from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and British military personnel to prison inmates in the Philippines and Thai sailors.

Gangnam Style crossed the 1 billion views mark on December 21, 2012.

The video makes fun of the consumerist lifestyle of Gangnam-gu, an affluent area in the South Korean capital of Seoul.

In the video, PSY is dancing, imitating how he rides a horse, holds the reins and spins the lasso.

PSY is known for original dance steps

The video earned the singer three mentions in the Guinness Book of Records - for the most "likes" in YouTube history (about 6 million), for the most views online and as the first video to be viewed more than 1 billion times.

Now the number of users who liked the video has exceeded 8 million.

The fourth mention in Guinness to the singer was brought by his next single Gentleman - as the most viewed video in the first day after publication.

At the beginning of his career, PSY happened to be depicted in clips Kim Jong-un - then not yet the leader of the DPRK - and play nu metal, but in later releases he switched to dance-pop.

Psy Entertainer

Found the song. Entertainer - Artist.

The song started quietly, and then the rhythm started again. And so it is in the clip. First, a calm picture, and again in the video there is humor. Psy is a quiet, modest guy who dreams of love. His dream is coming true.

He drives an expensive car, his girlfriend is nearby. Clip naive, a little childish.
