CY@CY Says Welcome to my dreamscape. Where a Lim is also a Ling.
Korean rapper Psy – real name Park Jae Sung – has taken the world by storm, with his undeniably catchy hit Gangnam Style becoming the biggest hit of the year and a truly awe-inspiring phenomenon. There are now countless parodies of the hit worldwide and the YouTube video of Psy’s Gangnam Style, in which he performs his now signature horse riding move, has received close to a staggering 350 million views at this moment as I am writing this article. Psy’s hit has peaked at No. 1 on the British charts and looks set to hit No. 1 on the US’s Billboard chart where it is currently at No. 2.
The Los Angeles Times has said the song was taking over the world and Time Magazine said it was ‘hard not to watch again …and again …and again.’
Now the inmates of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) in the Philippines, famous for performing an epic Michael Jackson Thriller performance in 2007, have got into the act doing their prison version of Gangnam Style that has instantly gone viral with over a million hits since it was uploaded to YouTube on September 29.
Doing time Gangnam Style
Almost 1,000 prisoners performed the routine in the pouring rain, thrusting, waving and jerkily popping their limbs to the catchy tune, clad in their bright red uniforms in a crazy parody that includes the iconic horse-riding dance move. However, the prisoners could not completely mimic the video as the prison wardens would not allow the prisoners the use of a pool, sauna or elevator.
Enjoy the video of the inmates performing the dance routine en masse at the prison in the Philippines:
