I don't get this....I just don't get it

its a dance song....

ppl that can't dance, like cool and catchy dance songs with easy moves....it makes them feel like they're a part of something

its the new macarena, the universal electric slide, the elementary cupid shuffle

hence why Americans can sit through a song that they can't understand for 4:13seconds, just so they can dance for 3 :30second breaks and yell "hey sexy lady"

then you have to factor in the consistent rise in the popularity of house music

and you also have to factor in that most ppl automatically think of the actor in "hangover" when they see this video

The icing on the cake is simply the platform which is youtube. Everyone wants to be cool because they saw the most popular youtube vid :cook:

Yes, even songs that we never heard of over here can have like 80 million views from those people watching their favorite songs over and over. :wow:

Remember growing up, channel 25 and channel 31 how after Video Music Box would air it would become a foreign channel and shyt and it would stay that until the morning?


If you were a little kid and all of a sudden you went from Ralph McDaniels to Italian news and Japanese Kabuki Theatre and Namaste America for the Bollywood /Indian heads, you were like

:mindblown:

That's how I figured out that the world wasn't like the Bronx. It was like Queens.

Kill those [expletive] Yankees who ordered them to torture /
Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law, and fathers /
Kill them all slowly and painfully"

Asian music entertainment has been so damn intriguing. I know how a song can be huge in a certain part of the world and nobody can know what you're talking about (any Hispanic should know that), but it's crazy how there are people in Japan and China and Korea and India that are GODS where they are yet they can come to the United States and they're nobodies. It's kinda cool.

It didn't blow like that(the video) until it caught on in the west.

Feel you but thats not gon stop asians from supporting em

Obama didnt blow in Texas first, I didnt know who the nikka was. But you already know who got my vote when I realized a black man could become president

Asians pay attention to whats popular on the web just like I paid attention to the 2008 primaries
