I'd think that probably everyone here's already seen the original Gangnam style video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9bZkp7q19f0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It's past a billion views now. If not, check it out. Psy, the "singer", was even on Leno performing about a month ago.

Here are a few parodies:
MIT Gangnam style:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lJtHNEDnrnY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I've visited the MIT campus so some of the sights were familiar to me. Until I watched it, I didn't realize that Noam Chomsky was on MIT's faculty.

NASA Johnson style:

Mitt Romney Style (hope this isn't too political, there's a bit of NSFW language):

Yeah, old news...

My favorite parody is the "Kim Jong Style":

Here's another for the geeks...

Go NoSQL Style – The Geeky Gangnam Version:

Gangnam Style broke YouTube's view counter:

The bogus thing was that they were using a signed integer in the first place. Did they need negative video counts?

A signed number allows for embedding errors into the "views". For instance "-42" might mean something like it is still uploading, or whatever. Also, it is very common to use signed numbers everywhere in PC land software. Only time I have ever heard people care (in modern times) is with embedded programming. I am writing some embedded C now that requires unsigned numbers for a bit read from an IO port, but that is very different than flash/javascript where a few kilobytes here or there are just rounding errors.
 
Just saw this one for "Solar" by SolarEdge. These are all amazing efforts. (Made at the end of 2012)
