It's still a catchy song but yeah, I'm starting to get sick of it.
There is such thing as too much of a good thing. If the media hadn't fixated on or used the song so much, it wouldn't be as bad. That being said, after almost 6 months it is time we find something else to move on to.

It's so bad for me right now, no matter where I go, I hear the stupid thing.Goofguy said:

As for Psy, this is like what Gotye said a while back while everyone was all about "Somebody That I Used to Know". These guys have other songs they probably like better, but now they're forever associated with one song
Like better and/or wish to bring more exposure to. I'm not familiar with Psy's other work but I assume he has some other songs that mean more to him than just some 'party anthem'. Kind of hard to promote new songs when everyone will keep comparing them to his previous mega-hit.Lionsfan said:
See, I thought I would be sick of it by now, but actually I'm not.
That may be because it seems that it isn't being played and talked about (at least by people I know)
And I also listen to various remixes and mash-ups of it that keep it rather fresh.

Exactly. I mean to me there's two types of one-hit wonders. There's the Carly Rae Jepsen's/Daniel Powter type of one-hit wonder, where the person may have other material, but their "hit" is part of their first recorded.Goofguy said:
And then there's the Psy's/Gotye's of the world, people who have been doing this for a while, have a nice collection of music and then one of their songs goes viral. Then everything else they've done is pretty much irrelevant. And usually the "famous song" is one that the artist just made on a whim or didn't put much time into it
While I'm a fan of Gangam Style myself, I understand Psy's sentiments. Some artists want to be remembered for more than just the hugely popular thing they did.
Lets be honest, it was headed towards "Who Let The Dogs Out?" territory from the moment it got popular.
I'm just surprised we've gone this far with out someone making the logical parody "Oppa Gundam Style"

Yes, Gangnam Style is getting a bit old. It's not the fault of the song, but rather the fault of the people who repeat it over...
and over...
and over...
and over...
and... Ok you get the point. It's gotten to the point where almost everywhere I go, I hear it, whether it's on the radio or people singing it.
When I first saw it way back in July, I thought that it would be only a matter of time before it became known and repeated everywhere. When that happened, it was only a matter of time before it got old.
It's not a bad song or video. Not by a long shot. And honestly, it does still make me chuckle and smile. But even the best things get annoying when they're overused.
Captcha: Skynet is watching.... I feel like I should put something witty here, but the captcha says it all.

I was under the impression that it was already sort of dying off. Sure it was annoyingly huge the 1st few weeks but after that, I heard nothing of it other than the occasional reference. Hell, the last time I saw it was when South Park parodied it in their Halloween episode. So ya...I don't think it is quite as strong as it once was. For me there really is nothing to get tired of.
I must exist in a different realm or something, because hardly anyone in my town knows what Gangnam Style even is, much less seen/heard it. Consequently, I haven't reached saturation point quite yet.
It's a fun song every now and then, but I wouldn't want to hear it everywhere I go.

Yeah, I got tired of it kind of quickly.
It's a pretty catchy song but it's just too overplayed.
I had the same problem with "Don't Stop Believing".
Good song, played WAY too much.
