Gangnam Style in now a worldwide phenomenon, and with good reason. It’s new, it’s different, and it’s very, very catchy. At least it is in its original form, with the killer combination of music, singing, and dancing.

This video removes the music from the equation completely, and reduces the singing to a few random utterances. The result is strange, to say the least.

Showing the power of video editing, this Gangnam Style remix is funny for all the wrong reasons. When Psy and his buddies now dance they just look a little mental.

This shows how much you need all three elements to create a viral video hit that can transcend language and territorial barriers. Gangnam Style without the Gangnam Style is no damn Gangnam good.
