You knew this was coming.

It was only a matter of time before "Gangnam Style," the ubiquitous hit single by Korean rapper Psy, went political. In two parody video tributes, presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney perform their own versions of everyone's favorite invisible horse dance.

-- 'Obama Style'

Written and produced by Eric Schwartz, aka Smooth-E, this video has President Obama dancing "Gangnam Style" on D.C. rooftops. Sample lyric: "He's loved by everyone from George Clooney to Oprah, but hated by everyone who's gone through a foreclosure."

-- 'Mitt Romney Style'

College Humor brings us this ode to Romney's supposed penchant for the finest things in life. Sample lyric: "I got distinguished hair, and a private jet that flies me way up in the air."

Any chance these two will go for a "Gangnam Style" dance-off in Wednesday night's debates?
