Don't get me wrong, i love the song, but i think the main reason why this song attracted so much attention from U.S was because of its video and the horsey-dance.
The Asians are taking over, this is just the beginning
Do you honestly believe this? I don't see any such thing happening. I think the song/video/dance is one of those novelty moments in song history. Just like the Macarena.

Not only in the US. The only reason this is becoming a hit is because everybody loves the dance and now knows the song.

Exactly.
If this song does smash, I don't think K/J Pop is going to come to America.
I don't think anyone is going to take it seriously and be like "Oh this is K/J Pop. I really like it. Let me go buy some more K/J Pop songs."

The Spanish takeover did happen--it took place 3-4 years after Macarena in 1999. Livin la Vida Loca restarted it. So who knows?

The video is an amalgamation of Korean pop culture references that Westerners wouldn't understand. Which is why the video is just funny to us. We don't see how clever it really is.
