While You Were Sleeping, Psy Dropped Another Terrible Song

Psy released a follow up!

It’s called ‘Gentlemen’!

UPDATE: You can listen to it here, now.]

Good to see he’s branching out.

Set to premiere via live stream from Seoul’s World Cup Stadium late tonight, the song was released ahead of schedule and includes the lines  “I’m a mother father gentlemen” and “I’m gonna make you sweat / gonna make you wet”. There’s no choreographed film clip yet, but Psy has asked the 50 000 fans heading to the World Cup Stadium this evening to wear white. He’s hinted that “all Koreans know this dance … but [those in] other countries haven’t seen it,” meaning that it will probably incorporate a vaguely offensive take on traditional Korean dance.

Jay-Z Has Written You A Defensive Open Letter:

Dear everyone,

Please stop giving me crap for taking Beyonce to Cuba and selling the Brooklyn Nets.

With love,

The self-described Bob Dylan of rap music.

The White House is distancing itself from the claims in the song, saying Obama did not in fact personally approve Jay-Z’s Cuba visit – a trip which is being slammed by the GOP as insensitive and potentially embargo-breaking. In a hilarious daily presser, Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked about the lyrics: “I guess nothing rhymes with Treasury, because Treasury offers and gives licenses for travel, as you know, and the White House has nothing to do with it.” (via Gawker)
