英文歌曲：鸟叔新歌Gentleman

By now you've enjoyed "Gentleman M/V," Psy's followup to his massive hit, "Gangnam Style."

And you've probably also been completely baffled by the video and the lyrics¹ (if you don't speak Korean). The video appears to show Psy playing tricks on women he's dating, until he meets a woman who is as tricky² as he is.

Except, that's not what the song is about.

Here, courtesy of PolicyMic, are the lyrics in phonetic³ Korean and, below that, in English. The good news is, what sounds like Psy repeatedly singing a curse word is, in fact, something else entirely⁴.

First, the video, then the words:
