Sarasota Renaissance, Medieval Performers Go Gangnam Style

Heeeeyyyyyy, sexy Medieval lady!

The theme of the 2012 Sarasota Medieval Fair is "Irish Year" but a little Korean can't hurt. 

The minds behind the annual fair are taking the viral video approach by having their performers dance to Psy's explosively viral "Gangnam Style."

It's a shame that only 112 folks have viewed the YouTube video as of this publishing because anything remotely ridiculous in Renaissance garb is hilarious and worth watching hours on end. I think Monty Python proved that well.

At 33 seconds, the cast gives a tease of their Gangnam ability what with the horse-inspired rodeo dancing and all.

I can't seem to find a Gangnam Style dance contest listed on the official events list, but the fun begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday at the Sarasota County Fairgrounds. 

Visit Patch on Friday for a full preview.
