Two-hit wonder perhaps ? "2legit2quit" was not close to having the level of commercial success that "U can't touch this" enjoyed, nor did it have the same cultural impact.
PSY may be big in Korea, but has exactly ONE hit seller in the Western world. I wish him well, but doubt he can recapture similar sales numbers.
Yet 2legit2quit was the song they mixed it with. Is your logic that because he didn't have a bunch of #1 singles, that he's a one hit wonder? Nevermind that he had quite a few songs that still did quite well and sold 50 million albums. He was remembered well enough that he was remembered well enough over two decades later to do this event. You have a very high bar for success. Does Britney Spears make your cut? She has 4 #1 singles. Britney sold 100 million albums.
This song is only viral because people think its cheesy and funny. Its a goofy ass song with goofy ass dancing. Most listeners are laughing at, not with. I’m not saying that is bad or wrong or racist or some crap. I could give a shit.
This is not quality music that people will listen to intently decades from now to capture the feeling it once gave them. It’s disposable. It’s basically the Korean “Barbie Girl”. Stupid and annoying. Pretty sad it is as big as it is really. People are idiots.
PSY will be performing here in Singapore @ Marina Bay Sands in 18 hours time approx. Unfortunately i couldn’t get the free tickets. (damn hot here at night though, 29 deg C)
The song is a parody in itself, people should stop over-analyzing this song. Of course it is goofy, because it's supposed to be. (Just like the Barbie Girl song btw) Arguing about it is almost like arguing about "The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow" ... the result is always the same... someone gets flung off the bridge by a catapult.
