Gangnam Style, the dance track by South Korean pop phenomenon Psy, has become YouTube's most-watched video.
It has notched up more than 808 million views since it was posted in July, the BBC reports
The video pokes fun at the consumerism of Gangnam, an affluent suburb of the South Korean capital Seoul.
In it, the portly Psy dances as though he is trotting on a horse, holding the reins and spinning a lasso in a manner that has sparked a global dance craze.
The dance has sparked numerous copycat versions, being performed by a diverse fan-base including Filipino prison inmates and prominent Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.
Gangnam Style won best video at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards and has been number one in 28 countries.
