By the way,
Since going viral last month, K-pop sensation Psy's July 15 "Gangnam Style" video has racked up more than 220 million views on YouTube. It's spawned covers and parodies, and the "dress classy, dance cheesy" moves have taken over pop culture. Psy did his "Gangnam Style" dance with host Kevin Hart at the 2012 MTV VMAs, Nelly Furtado did it in concert, and even Britney Spears learned the moves on "Ellen," with a little instruction from Psy himself.

The video has been getting even more buzz lately, as Psy sits atop the Billboard Social 50 chart after signing with Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun. We've rounded up the best in "Gangnam Style" videos that YouTube has to offer, from babies to the Naval Academy to "My Little Pony." Take a look at all 10 videos and then get ready to answer the age-old question: does the Oregon Duck's "Gangnam Style" beat Gandalf the Grey's?
El Monte Lifeguards
"Gangnam Style" is all fun and games… until fourteen people lose their jobs. A group of lifeguards in El Monte, Calif. learned that the hard way when they were fired from their jobs at the community pool after their "Lifeguard Style" parody video went viral. The lifeguards, some of whom didn't even participate in the video, are currently fighting for their jobs back, with a Facebook group and petitions circulating online. Despite the drama, their "Gangnam" video is one of the best, with red-suited dancing around the pool and even showing off their K-pop style underwater.
U.S. Naval Academy
Anyone who thinks Navy men don't have fun is just plain wrong. In their "Gangnam Style" parody, the Naval Academy's 22nd Company Spirit show off their well-practiced choreography on the docks, boats and even in a line of urinals -- all in full suits and regalia. Raking in half a million views, the buzz from Navy's K-pop style may just help them beat Army this year. At the very least, they have a surefire way to distract the other team.
'My Little Pony'
It's a simple take on "Gangnam Style," but this "My Little Pony" version of the K-pop hit is nothing short of hilarious. Watch as an animated horse gets his Gangnam on over various stills from the "Pony" cartoon series. The other ponies' reactions range from amused to horrified, but the 30-second clip is good for a nostalgic giggle, merging today's viral hit with a childhood classic.
The Oregon Duck Mascot
Nothing like a silly duck mascot to amp up school spirit. What's better? A duck with a little bit of Gangnam style. Watch as the Oregon mascot causes all sorts of campus debauchery with his newfound K-pop dance moves. Even if you're not a fan of the green and yellow, it's worth watching just for the scene when the mascot meets his love interest -- a girl who is feeding ducks in a pond. Four million views later, Oregon has definitely gone viral.
Wedding Style
For this Bay Area wedding, Lightbulb Videography put together a unique video for newlywed couple Stefani and Jeremy's big day. By far the best production of the bunch, this video loses the DIY charm of other parodies, but their "Gangnam Style," both dance moves and swagger, is pretty spot on. Plus who doesn't want to see his wife, as Psy says, "dress classy and dance cheesy" in her wedding dress?
