Gangnam Style

Gangnam Style by PSY is featured in Thanksgiving, the eighth episode of Season Four. It is sung by the New Directions, with Tina singing lead with Kitty and Ryder.

After Jake and Ryder consult who's doing the dance solo with Brittany, Finn wishes the group good luck as they take the stage with Gangnam Style. Tina takes the lead on the song as the rest of the club performs an elaborate dance routine based on the dance moves from the original music video. The performance features dance solos from Sam (at the beginning), Brittany and Jake. Confetti cannons are blasted as the performance comes to an end. It proves to be very popular with the crowd.

However, Marley becomes increasingly disorientated from her food deprivation, seeing blurs on the stage before she collapses as the song ends, to the horror of Finn, Millie, Puck, Santana, Will, and the rest of the club. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as everyone in the group gathers around to assist her.
