Google's Eric Schmidt Submits to 'Gangnam Style'

On a recent trip to Google Korea, company chairman Eric Schmidt was greeted by none other than Psy, the Korean singer-songwriter who made "Gangnam Style" a phenomenon. Unsurprisingly, awkward dancing ensued.

Somehow Psy convinced Schmidt to get down to the tune in its signature way, recruiting him into the not-so-exclusive club that includes Britney Spears, the SNL gang and the U.S. Navy. A bunch of Google Korea employees joined in, and at least one of them caught the incident on video.

The angle is lousy, but that's unmistakably Schmidt there, doing his best to keep up with an out-of-control meme. Making the event even more appropriate -- Google's Korea office is actually located in Seoul's Gangnam district, said to be one of the city's most affluent areas.

What do you think of Schmidt's moves? Should Larry Page and Sergey Brin join him sometime? Comment away.
