MIT Gangnam Style without a doubt:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJtHNEDnrnY

The deadpan Chomsky cameo really makes this one for me.

It's a great vid overall. But, if you can only spare 20 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJtHNEDnrnY&t=3m5s

Any idea why such a video would not be available on mobile?

I wonder whether this usually is an oversight. The distinction of "mobile" seems rather vague at best.

Man, this is really livening up my weekend... And thanks for showing us the lighter side of Noam Chomsky. My respect for the man went up several notches.

EDIT: Thanks for making my weekend. All the videos were Hilarious! [snip].

London Mayor Boris Johnson has gangnam'd too: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/video/2012/oct/09/boris-j...

Here's a another one: http://opalang.org/gangnam.style.html

EDIT: Just curious, really, why the downvotes?

The very best remix of Gangnam Style was done Steve Streza. It seems the video was yanked from youtube due to copyright issues, but the audio files are still available on his site.

Although the mixed audio alone is great, the video mixing was also fantastic. The whole thing was discussed here on HN:

Listening to this, and I'm rather disappointed I'm missing out on the accompanying video.

I wonder if Youtube will reverse course on this, given that Psy has made it clear he has no interest in enforcing that copyright (a decision which is clearly in his best interest, too).

I didn't feel it was as bad as some of the comments here seem to indicate. I would give them a lot of marks simply for the effort to begin with and considering that it is simply a labour of love (as many of these videos here seem to be), it is very well done indeed.

kind of makes you realize how bad the actual music with when it is played orchestrally.

It depends, it can also just be a crappy adaptation. I personally like this piano version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd-h0debytI&list=UUl3iv3e...

What stingraycharles said. It depends on the adaptions. I liked this one by the Ohio marching band 110 Gangnam style

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDficEfonAE

It makes you realize how bad the synthesized instruments they used for it were... also not arranged for an orchestra. You can't just simply take the original note for note and play it on different instruments.

I think the best spinoff is the MIT Gangnam style video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJtHNEDnrnY they even have Noam Chomsky featured prominently in the video.

I'm a big fan of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo-tWlETq8w Deadpool vs Gangnam Style. Mostly as everyone seems to be such good sports about being involved.

Gandalf Style wins it for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M660rjNCH0A

This is what is so great about remixing other people's ideas, and why the current copyright laws get it so wrong. Allowing this to happen means it is only going to benefit the original creator, as there will be a whole culture formed around it, which will make it ever more popular.

This is also why George Lucas got it so wrong in the past, when he sued his fans for expanding on his ideas. If anything the remixing Star Wars culture formed despite him, not because of him.

This is what is so great about remixing other people's ideas Agree 100% with that sentiment.

Indeed, that's one more reason to like this guy, PSY

"According to The Guardian, PSY has waived his copyright to the music video. Although this has not been officially confirmed, Arwa Mahdawi of The Guardian reported it was likely that PSY had simply refrained from taking legal action against parodies of his video. "Gangnam Style" is therefore a video that is "born to spawn"" [1]

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangnam_Style

There is no legal claim against parodies. The copyright allowance was in allowing people to distribute the original video and/or audio (for example, reusing the audio track in a new YouTube submission)

These people took it to another level. Tribute to one of the biggest festivals in India, 'Ganesh Utsav' in Gangnam style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x47TWUKP3E8

Excellent audio+video mashup.

EDIT: They even managed to find some footage (sort of) replicating the lift scene from the video! :-D
