Prison Inmates Perform 'Gangnam Style' in Pouring Rain

Inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center -- the same prison in the Philippines where inmates' dance cover of "Thriller" went viral in 2007 -- have put their spin on Psy's "Gangnam Style."

Soaked from rain, the orange-clad inmates performed an elaborate choreographed dance routine set to the infectious Korean pop song over the weekend. Some wore black, while all had the letter "P" on their tops.

After first going viral in 2007 with the Michael Jackson dance number, inmates put on performances each month for tourists. Prison officials halted the dance shows in March because of a "near-riot" during a rehearsal, according to Filipino news outlets.

"Gangnam Style" now holds the Guinness World Record for most "Likes" on YouTube and yet another cover of the song will certainly bump that number even higher.
