Seriously, it’s gonna be tough. The “Gangnam Style” video has 2.1 billion views. Let that sink in. But anyway, [this valiant effort ](http://abcnews.go.com/International/bizarre-chinese-music-video-gangnam-style/story?id=26964487)comes from Chinese pop star Rong “Rollin” Wang for the song “Chick Chick.” The video features women in sexy bird costumes line dancing, many animated farm animals, and men wearing nothing but tiny white shorts, knee socks and animal masks. Also, a whole bunch of chicken sounds. So far, the video has racked up 6 million views, so it has a long way to go until it matches “Gangnam Style” levels of world domination. But it certainly has the raw materials. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3593183/chick-chick-rong-rollin-wang-video-gangnam-style-psy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3593183/chick-chick-rong-rollin-wang-video-gangnam-style-psy/"},"headline":"This Might Just Be the Most Absurd Music Video Since 'Gangnam Style'","datePublished":"2014-11-18T22:50:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:42.351Z","description":"The song is called \"Chick Chick\" and we have Chinese singer Rong \"Rollin\" Wang to thank for this","url":"https://time.com/3593183/chick-chick-rong-rollin-wang-video-gangnam-style-psy/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9fa70230f8bfeab2/69876968cd6848848b0980db/screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-4-29-28-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9fa70230f8bfeab2/69876968cd6848848b0980db/screen-shot-2014-11-18-at-4-29-28-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-11-18 at 4.29.28 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3593183/chick-chick-rong-rollin-wang-video-gangnam-style-psy/","name":"This Might Just Be the Most Absurd Music Video Since 'Gangnam Style'"}}]}] ```
