Doing the giddy-up: Eton schoolboys join Psy's dance craze

The clip was filmed in the grounds of the college and was posted YouTube by ‘Rather Rum’, with the following polite message: “Dear World Wide Internets, Here is a hearty gift from the lads over at jolly old Eton to you.”

Even what looks like a house master joins in on the act, wearing shades – of course.

The infectious tune is the product of an until now little-known South Korean rapper known as PSY (short for “psycho”).

PSY, who also goes by the name Park Jae-Sang, has become South Korea’s most successful pop export and has already signed a deal with American talent manager Scooter Braun, who manages Carly Rae Jepsen and Justin Bieber.

It adds: "It took more than three months for world star Justin Bieber to break that with his hit-song 'Boyfriend'. It was three years before the music video for Lady Gaga’s 'Poker Face' broke the 130 million mark."
