Turns out, not everyone is sick of Gangnam Style.

In one of the cutest videos you'll see this year, a baby is fast sleep, ignorant and uncaring about the song on the radio... until it gets changed to PSY's giant hit, that is.

Watch now as the child immediately perks up and dances around, much to the adorable delight of its parents and sibling:

Yesterday was PSY's 35th birthday, and one the Korean rapper will never forget.

As December 31 drew to a close, PSY and special guest Hammer reprised their epic American Music Awards performance with another joint effort in Times Square.

Watch the awesomely odd couple's Gangnam Style / 2 Legit 2 Quit mashup:

Two main takeaways from their New Year's Rockin' Eve 2013 performance:

  1. Hammer is 50! And still has pretty unreal dance moves and pants.
  2. PSY's semi-botched English interview was awfully endearing.

If he is retiring the song after this, he went out on a positive note.

12. Gotye, "Somebody That I Used to Know." Overplayed as it is dinky as it is catchy, Gotye's song may be one-hit wonder material, but that one hit was HUGE!

Cool video, too. Often imitated, never duplicated.

In the world's first known Gangnam Style death, Eamonn Kilbride suffered a heart attack and passed away this week at his office Christmas party.

P-S-Y

Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson (R-WY) has a message for the Millennial generation: use social media to spread the word and sign up for The Can Kicks Back campaign.

We know what you're thinking: Huh?

The 81-year-old Simpson - of the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction commission - wants to encourage politicians to work across party lines to fix the $16 trillion U.S. national debt.

He's even willing to dance "Gangnam Style" to get your attention:

His grassroots movement is called The Can Kicks Back, in reference to the old "kicking the can down the road" adage. With the Fiscal Cliff looming, it's even more crucial to watch.

It's also funny.

PSY, President Obama. President Obama, PSY.

In the spirit of the holidays, the Washington establishment appears to have forgiven the "Gangam Style" sensation for his controversial 2004 anti-American rap.

Obama Meets PSY

PSY apologized Friday for participating in a pair of President George W. Bush-era protests, during which he rapped highly inflammatory lyrics and anti-war sentiments.

Then he appeared as scheduled at the annual Christmas in Washington concert.

He met President Barack Obama face-to-face and performed for the Commander-in-Chief, with the lyrics tweaked for the occasion as "Christmas Style."

If you're a fan of The Walking Dead and/or Gangnam Style, you're going to like this video. If you enjoy both of those things, then you'll probably go berzerk over it.

Does this spoof of the AMC hit series and PSY's monster hit song provide hints as to how zombie apocalypse will begin? On December 21, 2012 perhaps?

Just a theory. All we know is that "The Dancing Dead" is awesome.

South Korean rapper Psy’s monster hit just became the most popular video of all time, passing Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” and the craze shows no signs of abating.

The subject of parodies and viral takeoffs galore ever since its debut this summer, it's no surprise that "Gangnam Style" inspired a holiday music-and-light show:
