than I liked him before.

♪ (Psy sings in Korean) ♪

- That guy's chest hair, it slays.

- This makes less sense
than Gangnam Style did.

- This reminds me of
the Korean dramas my mom watches.

- ♪ How do you like me now? ♪

- (female vocals) ♪ Hey,
where'd you get that body from? ♪

♪ Where'd you get that body from? ♪

- I don't want to see
somebody on the toilet.

I don't want to see that.

Like, "I got it from my something."

- He's gonna slap one thigh,
switch and slap the other thigh.

- I'm just so confused,
but it's really catchy.

- I really hope this song
doesn't become popular.

I don't think I could
handle it for that long.

- It's like three generations
of [bleep] boys right there.

- (Psy) ♪ Listen ♪

♪ (rapping in Korean) ♪

- (Psy) ♪ Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad ♪

- He is probably one of my favorite artists

just 'cause he's so weird.

- I respect how creative it is.

You know, he really took
creativity to a different level. (laughs)

- (uncertainly) Mmm...
I didn't like that.

(giggles)

- It has a ten out of ten for dancibility.

- As soon as I heard he had a new song out,

I was like, "Okay, we gotta watch this

and see what's going down,
see if it's gonna be as big

as any of the past ones."

♪ (punk rock music) ♪

- (Finebros) Okay, so what did
we have you just watch?

- Gangnam Style Part Four.

- Psy's new music video?

- Daddy by Psy.

- Daddy by Psy. I almost called
him Gangman Style. (laughs)

- (Finebros) So we've shown
you Psy before on the show?

- Yes, since Gangman Style.

- This is the weirdest
one out of all of them.

- It was on Kids React.
- (Finebros) Yeah.

- Oh god, what
a scarring experience. (giggles)

- (Finebros cracks up)

So talk about the song itself.
What did you think of the song?

- It's not very catchy.

- Very repetitive but nice to listen to.

- The beat was fire.
It was on point.

- It was very pop and similar
to Oppa Gangnam Style.

- It's all right the first time
you listen to it,

but it's never going to be something
I'm gonna put on my iPod.

- I don't get what's going on.

It reminds me of that song,
"I Got It From My Mama."

- (Finebros) And what about the music video?

- I didn't like it. (laughs)

- It seemed so creepy.
He was every character.

- He's sticking to the weirdness
like he always does.

- The music video was funny.

I liked how they had the three generations.

- The fact that Psy's face
was quite literally on

every single male person in that video,

no matter what their age was,
or what they were doing,

was kind of disturbing.

- I wanted to dance along.

I don't know how dances can be catchy,

but his dances kind of are catchy.

- You saw him come out of the womb
as a very young boy.

Then they saw him
as a normal adult and an elder.

It's basically like
the React series in Psy's life.

- (Finebros) So this video has
gotten millions of views very quickly.

What is it that, still years later,
whenever Psy puts out

a new music video there's
so much attention for it?

- I think there's a lot of attention
because he's just such a character.

- Just because everyone's like,
"Oh, is this gonna be

like Gangnam Style again?"

- They're just waiting to see
if he can out-Gangnam Style

his Gangnam Style,
and he kind of did that here.

- We're all sheep,
so we flock to the same things.

Somebody says,
"Hey, this guy's the same guy

that had this one video
that we all watched.

Let's all watch this one too!"

- (Finebros) Although Psy
continues to have success,

he has said that it's been hard
since everyone compares

his new music to how
gigantic Gangnam Style was,

and has even said he thinks he'll never top

the success of Gangnam Style.
- Oh.

- I can see how it can
probably be a little difficult for him.

- (Finebros) What do you think
about Psy as an artist

and the difficulty he's had
with so much success?

(deep sigh)

- (sarcastically) Poor, popular Psy.
I hate being successful.

I can't really feel bad for him.

- You know, as an artist,
I respect him.

It's probably so hard for him to be able

to try and make something better
that people will see

and just be like, "That was amazing,"
and not compare it

to like, "But you did this so much better."

- I think that's actually really sad

because he set the standard
so high for himself

that it's absolutely impossible
to meet that again.

And the fact that he's trying so hard

to make his audience happy
is something that we need to applaud.

- (Finebros) So this song
was released as promotion

for his first full-length album
since Gangnam Style,

and he's going to have
collaborations on that album

with artists like
will.i.am and Ed Sheeran.

- Oh my gosh. I love Ed Sheeran.

- He's collabing with Ed Sheeran?

- (incredulously) Ed Sheeran and Psy?

- No. (giggles) How would that even work?

- (Finebros) Are you excited
about a new album from Psy?

- Not really.

- I'm not gonna buy it,
I'm not gonna listen to you,

so I'm gonna go with "no" here.

- I'll definitely listen to Psy's new album.

I'm not gonna purchase it.

- It'll be really interesting to see
how he incorporates

those people's style of music
with his own style of music.

- I don't know if I'm excited for the music.

I'm excited for the music videos.

- And if he's gonna release
music videos for every song

in the album, sure, I'm excited.

- (Finebros) Speaking of will.i.am,
he actually had a song

that came out a while back
called "I Got It From My Mama."

- Oh really?

- (Finebros) We're gonna
play you a quick clip from it.

- All right, let's go. I'm ready.

♪ (hip hop beat) ♪

- (will.i.am) ♪ Baby, where'd
you get yo body from? ♪

♪ Tell me, where'd you get yo body from? ♪

♪ Baby, where'd you get yo body from? ♪

♪ Tell me, where'd you get ♪--
- This is a good song.

- (female vocals) ♪ I got it from my mama ♪

♪ I got it from my mama ♪
- Oh. That's almost identical.

- (female vocals) ♪ I got it from my mama ♪
- It's the same exact beat.

- It's like a parody pretty much.

Like, it's almost the exact same lyrics.

- I guess that's kinda smart of Psy

'cause it's using a song people would know.

- (Finebros) So obviously
Psy had permission here,

but does it bother you or not
when you love a song,

and then you find out,
"Oh, part of that comes from another song."

- That kind of annoys me.

- It makes me so mad
'cause I'm just like,

"This is the best song ever,"
and then I'll go to my friends

and I'm like, "Look at what I found,"

and they're like,
"What are you talking about?

That was written by blah-blah-blah,
like, 20 years ago."

And I was like, "(miffed) Great. Awesome.
Ruined everything for me."

- Sometimes I feel bad
for the original artist

just because if people
like the cover or the song

that has a sample in it
better than the original

that kind of sucks.

- I feel like there's no real such thing
as originality any more.

As long as they're not
directly copying from the song

and they're turning it into their own thing,

they're allowing the idea
to evolve through their music,

then it's fine.

- (Finebros) Finally,
do you that this hype for Psy

will eventually die down
or do you imagine,

no matter what, for years and years,
if he has a music video

people are still gonna want to see it?

- I think maybe in a year or two
he might die down.

- I do believe that, at a certain point,
it's gonna decline slowly.

- I don't think he's
ever gonna hit that pinnacle

of Gangnam Style again,
but every time a big song's gonna come out,

it's gonna be like whoop,
and then chun, chun, chun,

and then back up again.

- Like many things in pop culture,
as things get bigger

and more outrageous,
Psy will just either have to keep up

or he'll die out.

- It's always gonna be a global fascination.

He's always going to be popular.

- Yes, I absolutely think Psy has created

a reputation for himself as someone
that does these crazy music videos

with these crazy songs
about outrageous things,

so any time one
of his music video comes out,

they're gonna watch it.
It's gonna get those millions of views.
