His sage advice?

"[The] mindset of this dance is -- dress classy and dance cheesy."

Spears had expressed her appreciation of the video over Twitter last month:

Britney Spears and Ellen aren't the only celebrities to jump on the "Gangnam Style" train.

Boy band The Wanted invited Psy to join them on stage during a performance before the VMAs.

“So, we have a really good friend that’s joining us tonight. He’s, uh, he’s from the East Side," The Wanted's Max George remarked.
