Heads-Up Battle: NCAA vs. UAAP (Dance Showdown)

type='html'>

The year 2012 could be defined in two songs: "Call Me Maybe" and "Gangnam Style". These two songs became viral just weeks after they were officially released. Both the two songs redefined Canadian and Korean pop music in such an awesome way, especially here in the Philippines, where it led to one parody after another. Even the basketball players do the CMM and the Gangnam here, and the following videos you will see are proofs that these hoops stars have the move.

Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" would have been a long-forgotten track if not for a fellow Canadian named Justin Bieber. It blitzed past the number 1 spot in the Canadian charts in February and in the US charts the following month all because of Bieber's recommendation. CMM's music video, officially released on March 1, currently has more than 256 million views on Youtube. JB even promoted Carly Rae's hit in a cute way when he, Selena Gomez, and Ashley Tisdale made a lip dub of CMM that was so viral it led to more fanvids including one from the stars of the UAAP. The video eventually gave birth to the Romeo moves.

Park Jae-Sang, popularly known as Psy, had no idea his latest track "Gangnam Style" would become a worldwide hit until some proud K-Pop fans posted the video on social media sites, and now, the official music video of the song gained 191 million hits on Youtube just two months after it was uploaded. With the way it is gaining views, it could overtake Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" by next month in total views. Also leading to everyone doing their own rendition of the Gangnam, Psy, like Jepsen, was invited to the Ellen Degeneres Show and will soon join her and Justin Bieber at Scooter Braun's Schoolboy Records, the first time a Korean will have a US album. Just today, AKTV uploaded their own version of the Gangnam featuring NCAA players and an awesome cameo by no less than the legendary Perpetual Help coach Aric Del Rosario.
