The Adventures of the Gummi Bears was a cartoon of my childhood. The theme tends to resurface every once in a while from the depths of my memory, which leads to my yelling it at odd moments. Tripped over a clip tonight of Alicia Keys singing a version of it on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (previous posts here). Also, youtubing around, this catchy little earworm featuring Jimmy, the Roots and Ms. Jephson with kids' instruments is yet more of what i think i shall refer to henceforth as Jimmy gold (2:40, awesome).
Psy's Gangnam Style music video is apparently the most watched youtube video ever now. Like ya do, i had to wikipedia it; the entry's decent. The most useful bit of information there might be, "The song's refrain "오빤 강남 스타일 (Oppan Gangnam style)" has been translated as "Big brother is Gangnam style", with Psy referring to himself;[24][25] "Oppa" is a Korean expression used by females to refer to an older male friend or older brother."
The backstory is that Gangnam is a trendy, affluent area of Seoul, and thus"
People who are actually from Gangnam never proclaim that they are—it's only the posers and wannabes that put on these airs and say that they are "Gangnam Style"—so this song is actually poking fun at those kinds of people who are trying so hard to be something that they're not.—Psy"
Unrelatedly, this article is titled Pope declares: no donkey at nativity, and angels did not sing.
