President Obama does infamous Gangnam Style dance around the White House

The President has admitted that he loves the PSY track Gangnam Style, much to his two daughters' embarrassment.

In an interview with People, Barack Obama says he does the South Korean rapper's infamous dance at home in the White House, with the sole purpose of winding up Malia, 14 and Sasha, 11.

He tells the new issue of the magazine: 'They're cooler than I am. There are things I like that they think are cheesy, like Gangnam Style. I love that.'
