Psy gangnam style
That kind of explosion is kind of like a trademark of me in Korea.” So that was just a tiny piece of my concerts. PSY SAYS: “I’ve used very highly big-budget special effects in my own concerts for 12 years in Korea. There’s some lighting going on and mirror balls – that’s not suitable for transportation, right? I cannot play that scene in the Korean National Broadcasting System. When we were moving to this location, to that location, I suddenly found some bus on the highway, and I talked to the director: ‘Hey, let’s do that, the illegal thing, the older guys’ party time.’ The situation was ad-libbed on the highway. Honestly, that’s illegal, I think: They are standing when they are riding. PSY SAYS: “It’s like a tour bus, and a lot of older guys and older ladies are traveling to somewhere on the highways. THE SCENE: On the tour bus with the disco balls We were like, ‘Hey, what are we doing right now? Why are we at the sauna?’ The fat guy? Yeah, he was an actor.” At this sauna, every staff, even me, was out of their consciousness. PSY SAYS: “It was a real sauna, so it was hot, and I was so exhausted, and all of a sudden I feel like getting sleepy on his shoulder. We edited a lot, and actually we tried a lot more than this.” I asked them, ‘Hey, throw it harder, throw it harder, so that way it’s going to look really hilarious!’ So they used a propeller. PSY SAYS: “Did you feel that I moved like Michael Jackson in that scene? I tried some things serious, to be ridiculous, you know. THE SCENE: Debris and snow whooshing into Psy’s face PSY SAYS: “When we made this choreography, we called it ‘horse dance.’ I told, ‘Hey, this is horse dance, so let’s find some horse place.’ In that way, it can be more cheesy. You know there’s a program called America’s Got Talent? We had a version of the program, which is called Korea’s Got Talent, and the boy came from there. My thought was, the song releases on July 15th, and in Korea it’s really hot in summer. THE SCENE: Lounging on a beach that’s actually a playground Following is the singer’s scene-by-scene breakdown. “This is history in my country,” Psy says, from a promotional tour in New York City, during an enthusiastic 45-minute phone interview that had been strictly scheduled for 15 minutes. Obviously, they succeeded – “Gangnam Style” is not only spontaneously, ridiculously funny, it has snagged more than 167 million YouTube views since its release in mid-July and is climbing up the iTunes charts. Q.For 48 straight hours in early July, Korean pop star Psy and his crew drove Seoul’s crowded highways in search of absurdist settings for his sexy horse dance. But my spirit and my agenda is play - it’s a mixture right now, I’m doing rockable dance, or danceable rock. I got inspiration from that kind of music: Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Dr. I tried to compose a song - I was in the United States and it was all about hip-hop at the time, ’99-2000. How did you transition from that to your sound?Ī. Queen and Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses - I had a huge rock-band mania. right now, so if I have any chance to go there, I want to meet Queen and to tell them how much I got inspired by their music. His songwriting skills, I cannot even approach, but his showmanship, I learned it from videos. My lifetime role model and hero is Freddie Mercury of Queen. What kind of music did you listen to growing up?Ī. Now, honestly, I regret not studying - I don’t know about harmonies, or anything, so if I’m composing a song, it’s really hard. I cannot learn creation from other people, I’ve got to do it myself. At that time I tried to be a composer, not a singer. But did music school influence your taste?Ī. Months into it, “Gangnam” mania shows no signs of slowing down, spawning “Saturday Night Live” sketches and workout routines.
“It’s like the World Cup right now,” he told Melena Ryzik, when they spoke a few hours before the show. If I have a chance I want to introduce some of my friends.”Īfter a brief tour of the United States, Psy performed a welcome-home concert in Seoul earlier this month, which drew nearly 80,000 fans and shut down the city center. “I cannot say they are the best in the world, but I can say that Korean artists are really dynamic artists, so I am going to show that from now on. “There’s a lot of variety of musicians in Korea,” he said. But Psy also aims to represent his country, and his genre, K-pop. After posting compliments on Twitter about the song, Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, signed Psy, and an English-language track may be their first collaboration.
