The opening hook from PSY's Gangnam Style, with its catchy dance beat and signature chant. Creators use it for funny entrances, dance edits and reaction clips.
This clip captures the instantly recognisable opening of PSY's Gangnam Style, built around a driving electronic beat, bright synth stabs and the playful chant that made the track a global earworm. It sounds energetic, cheeky and slightly absurd, with a rhythm that almost forces a listener to move. Even a few seconds are enough to trigger the memory of the horse dance and the song's over-the-top swagger. That instant recognition is what makes it work so well as a punchline, turning an ordinary entrance or reveal into something funnier and more dramatic.
