Everyone likes a good craze and at the moment it is all about K-Pop and PSY's Gangham Style.
Your probably like me and going, WHAT! Unbelievably the K-Pop craze (music style from Korea), I actually heard about through my 50 something mother - it wasn't even me who heard it first : ( And then as for Gangham Style, I only heard this about a week ago and I LOVE IT!
Gangham Style is like all popular songs that start a craze, it has a catchy tune, with simple but iconic dance moves and normally a good video (but not always as you'll see from some of my other examples below). Gangham style is definitely the first craze on the 2010 decade and thank god, cos boy I miss a bit of wholesome cheesiness!
As you'll see in the video link below, the lead guy has charm, is humorous and he's added a bit of fun to the current popular culture of Dance music - what a genius!

And like any great addictive song, there is always a host of parodies to follow and the best of these I've found so far is below:

I have to say, I love a good craze! Since I was a kid, I have not only grown up with crazes before my time, but enough that have appeared in front of my eyes. The thing that makes me laugh is not all of them have been aimed at young people (or been suitable) and yet we all know them.
I have decided that I didn't want to make this particular article just talking, so below have added some of the particular song crazes and tracks that made me smile as I was growing up (some because of the weird lyrics, some because of the routines). Many are quite weird, but I was born in the 80s, when people just released what they wanted, lol
