'Gangnam Style Is One Of My Favorite F*CKING Songs' Dave Grohl Says In SXSW Speech: Foo Fighters Frontman Shows Psy Some Love

Psy was shown love Thursday when Dave Grohl praised the South Korean pop star's hit, "Gangnam Style" in a speech at the Austin, TX music festival South by Southwest (SXSW). 

"F*ck guilty pleasure. How about just pleasure?" Grohl said in his SXSW speech, according to Yahoo. "I can truthfully say, out loud, that 'Gangnam Style' is one of my favorite fucking songs of the past decade. It is!"

The K-Pop single just got free publicity by the Keynote speaker at a ten-day festival, which features performers from all over the world attempting to stand out among the masses of musicians.

Grohl's not the only one who likes the song. The video for "Gangnam Style" was the first to reach one billion views in YouTube's history, according to Billboard.com.

The lead vocalist and guitarist for the Foo Fighters followed his praise for PSY's "Gangnam Style" by saying, "Is it any better or worse than the latest Atoms for Peace album?"

Atoms For Peace are an experimental rock and electronic super group that features members of R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Radiohead.

"If only we had a celebrity panel of judges to determine that for us," Grohl said his speech. "What would J-Lo do? Paging Pitchfork, come in, come in!!! Pitchfork, we need you to help us determine the value of a song? Who f*cking cares! I f*cking LOVE IT! Who is to say what's a good voice and what's not a good voice, 'The Voice?' Imagine Bob Dylan standing there singing 'Blowin' in the Wind' in front of Christina Aguilera. 'Mmmmm, I think you sound a little nasally and sharp. Next.'"
