Yeah, that wacky Psy of Gangnam fame is backpedalling like a champ.

> Long before Korean star PSY got America to dance “Gangnam Style,” he had a different rap: Urging the torture and murder of Americans.

“Kill those f—ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives,” PSY rapped on a South Korean band’s 2004 song, “Dear Americans.”

“Kill those f—ing Yankees who ordered them to torture.”

“Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers.”

“Kill them all slowly and painfully.”  
And now he’s going to perform for the Prez in Washington.  
Nice.
