VIDEO: PSY's "Gangnam Style" Is the Best Invisible Horse-Riding Rap Video You'll See All Week According to the Bangkok Post, the competition got heated, and words were exchanged. One group of gang members left, but returned around 6 a.m. the following morning, armed with guns, and began firing shots into the sky. The gunmen left again, but three of them returned two hours later shooting in all directions and prompting several bystanders to run for their lives, the newspaper quoted a witness as saying. The teenagers used the "Gangnam Style" moves to provoke each other, another witness said. While cars were damaged, no one was injured in the shootings. The kingdom has been struggling to come to terms with rising levels of violence between rival school gangs; more than a thousand attacks involving guns, knives and even grenades have been recorded in the capital Bangkok in the first half of this year alone, Agence France-Presse reported earlier this month. The shootout is possibly the most extreme example yet of the global impact of the viral music video by Korean rapper PSY, which has already inspired copycat renditions by everyone from Britney Spears to the Oregon Duck to North Korean state media. The music video has already attracted 260 million views on youtube and set the world record as the most liked video in youtube history. MORE: The Wholesome Hidden Message of "Gangnam Style"
