Gangnam Style, Beer Talk, And 'Bitch' Is Back

Soundcheck | Sep 28, 2012

Tonight on Soundcheck, a look at the incredible international hit song "Gangnam Style," the K-Pop breakout with a video watched over 300 million times on YouTube. 

Then, NPR Music critic Ann Powers on the history and resurgence of the word "bitch" in pop music -- from early blues to Elton John to Kanye West's latest song, "Perfect Bitch."

And the Two Man Gentlemen Band come by the studio to sample some "fancy beer" in our occasional series Beer Talk. Plus, they play live.
