PSY Performs “Gangnam Style” On ‘Jimmy Kimmel’: Watch

If you thought the “Gangnam Style” revolution was showing any sign of slowing, think again. PSY‘s global takeover continued last night with a live performance of the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where the K-pop idol delivered a high-octane performance of his crossover smash. Although he couldn’t translate the video’s insane production values onto Kimmel’s stage, PSY’s dexterity with the choreography, flanked by a team of backup dancers, served as a more-than-adequate substitute.

The 34-year-old has already conquered the American TV circuit, with prime spots on Today, Ellen and Saturday Night Live, but he still seems to be having fun with the track. Probably the coolest thing to watch, though, is how vigorously the audience joined the South Korean rapper for his signature cowboy dance. Who cares if it’s rapidly becoming the “Macarena” of 2012? It’s a monster hit. Watch above.
